I am in a
dilemma - My beautiful yard has just never been the same since I had to dig up the sewer system. Ever since, it has been a battle with the weeds, bare spots, and browning in various areas of the yard. I
fertilize in the summer, water when I can, and hope for the best. This year I have even managed to complete "Step 1" of the 4 step fertilizing system. Hooray. I am hoping that it will thwart the crab grass and even take a bit out of the dastardly creeping charlie. But what I am not sure about is the violets. It's a love hate relationship with those violets. Look at 'em - perfectly perky purple flowers. They are so happy and brilliant and yet they are in my yard.
They do not belong in the yard - they are weeds. Did I mention how they smile at you in the morning? Well - '
tis another season to try to "fix" my yard. Maybe next year I should leave it up to the professionals. - Tracy
