I applied the second bag of lawn fertilizer of the season about two weeks ago, and then we had two or three days of heavy rain soon after that. The grass is now a deep rich green. I love seeing that immediate transformation.

Our lawn got neglected the last two years because too much other s--t was going on. It is coming back amazingly well now.

I still need to get out in the newly dug flower beds with some herbicide for existing individual weeds that have come up through the mulch, and apply Preen to keep new weeds from popping up. I think today will be a perfect day for that.

I also bought some Miracle-Gro tomato fertilizer that needs to be applied now.
