and just throw in the towel.. Last year I posted a fair amount with my battle to get grass to grow in our front yard underneath a Live Oak tree.. It took me from March until about September and FINALLY got it all filled in.. Keep in mind my front yard is maybe 25' x 25', so pretty small..
In the battle, I planted grass seed at least 5 times.. the first time a torrential rain came the same night and washed all the seed away - it hardly EVER rains here and when it does, its a sprinkle, unless a tornado is accompanying it..
so, the entire yard was growing grass... for about a week and then it started slowly dying off, no matter what I did.. before too long over half the yard had died..
So, fast forward to January 2021.. its been BEAUTIFUL here for the last month.. tons of sun, in the 50's, or so... So, I decided last Monday to reseed the front yard and take advantage of the sun angle, which during this time of year illuminates the entire yard.. So, I reseeded the whole front yard last Monday afternoon..
So, I get up the next morning and its completely overcast.. No sun, at all.. its now Saturday and we have not had ONE second of sun for 5 days since I planted those seeds.. totally unheard of around here.. unless I'm planting grass seeds.. I'm expecting a torrential rain any minute now..
Some of man's accomplishments are amazing, but for some reason, growing grass in my front yard is never going to happen.. it should be so simple.. but everytime I lay seed down, some weird weather anomaly screws it up..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
