which wasn't an attempt at gardening at all, just went down the drain.. Our front yard has been little more than a dirt patch due to the live Oak tree growing right in the middle of it.. Tree roots grow along the surface, the yard is totally in shade, and acorns and crap the tree drops have compacted the dirt SO hard, its literally like cement.. so, grass has never grown there, despite multiple efforts on my part ot get it to grow over 22 years..
So, yesterday I decided "one more time".. I got Bermuda grass seed - supposed to grow in tough areas - and a bunch of grass soil.. my thought was to break up the dirt as much as possible (seriously almost need a hammer/chisel it was so hard) put down the seed, water the snot outta it, then cover it with the grass soil and then water that, as well.. So, I spent most of the day doing that - pat myself on the back for even trying for the umpteenth time..
So, around 7:30 last night an "end of times" storm blew through here and dumped about 8 inches of HARD rain on us in about an hour..It actually flooded the backyard and I just checked the front yard and all my work is gone.. flooded away..
The Grass Gods do NOT want me to grow grass in my front yard.. does anyone know an exorcist? I really cannot believe this crap happens constantly.. I mean, it NEVER rains here and he get 8 inches dumped on us the EXACT DAY I reseed the yard? I hate this town more than I hate the new logo..
