After you mow, stand a ruler in the grass. Is it less than two inches? You may need to adjust the settings on your mower. Less than two inches causes the grass to need more water and doesn't give it enough "leaf" exposure to manufacture adequate chlorophyll. 



The first warm day of summer is a great time to take stock of your wardrobe. What will you really wear? Donate the rest to a charity so someone else can use what you can't while the season is right.


Popsicles are summer perfection. Make your own with emptied and washed yogurt containers and wooden sticks. Dip the frozen containers in warm water, and your popsicles will pop right out.


With a little fertilizer, your grass is ready to take on your summer activities. A good way to know if you've watered it in enough is to look for visible remaining granules. If you can still see them, they can "burn" your grass by drawing water out of the grass blades.


Block the sun with thick blinds or heavy window coverings to keep out the sun's heat. You can take off your sunglasses now. You're Welcome!
