I Fought The Lawn

This is Jerry.

Jerry is a bamboo plant that was given to me by Tracy when she left Toronto to go to Edmonton. I’d originally given Jerry to her to put on her desk at her first job here. I don’t have a green thumb, but Jerry simply requires water, and all the light he needs he happily seems to be getting in his little area in the bathroom. My two other plants, Bobby and Danny, face extinction thanks to my inability to figure out what they need. I’m a poor gardener. 

I am, however, winning the battle against my lawn.

It’s green, it good, and while it still needs work you can see how my water / Miracle-Gro / fertilzer combination has brought it back nicely since the beginning of the spring. Remember that gaping black hole that wouldn’t grow the grass all spring, after I ripped the bushes out? well, I added some Scotts seed, and it finally started blooming. It’s grown so well that you’re apt to find Dr. Lingstone in there, if you foray into it with a machete.
