Water early in the morning (around 5am to 7am). Early evening or after sunset watering will promote fungus and mildew. Some recommend to water the lawn deeply and irregularly. Scotts say 1/2″ twice a week. Light watering promotes shallow roots which results unhealthy plant that won’t survive in hot weather.
The construction is under its way. They dug a big hole in the backyard. This is the place the master bedroom is gonna be. So, we will have another six months to go, having the workers hanging around in the back yard. And the most amazing of all: Now, Mammad’s got to get up around 9am!
I’ll keep you posted.
We are just back from Huddart park. Nice place, but boy it was really hot (102F). We were passing around the water spray to keep the temprature down, thanks to the Steinkamp family for such a great idea. But being around sweet freinds made it all up for the heat, especially the presence of the two little angels!
