Okay ladies and gents- listen up! It is time to stop pussy footing around this greenhouse and houseplant issue....it is time to give those plants a kick in the roots! Get your big boots on guys....grab your hose (watering can) and some fertilizer....and lets get busy! No more lazy daisy's...make them do what plants are supposed to do!!! GROW.Have a great weekend...happy fertilizing!
Now..without further adieu....I thought I'd give a little proof that I have not been on vacation...and that I actually do follow my own Tootsie Tips...This ugly mess is my grass and back yard BEFORE I touched them.
Remember when I did that post about Waking up the grass? If you don't....click here I got the thatch blade mower out....and did some very intensive exercise!Look at all that thatch! It took me 9 large yard waste garbage cans and two large garbage bags to pull off all of that after I fluffed it up! Yes...yes I was filthy and could hardly walk after...even had grass clippings in places best left un-described....(in case Picket drops by) lol
The other day I found out that it takes Two men (grown strong men) to hang a shelf....
And it takes these same two men as many minutes to hang said shelf as it does for one Tootsie to power rake and pick up the thatch from two yards (front and back) this size! I did mine and the guy next door....just to be nice!Then.....I fertilized the grass too! If you want to know more about the fertilizer we use on our grass and other little tid bits about greening it up...click here for a post called The greener the Better . Don't you just love it when you can link to your own stuff?

Tootsie, I fertilized on Wednesday because I transplanted on Saturday last and did not have an MG at the time, I fed them in the morning and my super helpful son decided to water them in the evening! how soon should I fertilize again?
And I mean he REALLY watered them!
Keep up the great work!!
Hugs,
Lynn
♥ you~ j
You are just so amazing you need your own landscaping company girl.
I have never thacked this yard. I have seen farms come in and do the neighbors yard; maybe I should look into this. Thanks for the tips toots. Have a wonderful Mother's day my friend.
I ran out of fertilizer and since I was sick last week I never got to the store this week to get more. So it will have to be a Fertilizer Saturday for me(-:
Have a happy Friday!!!!!

Can't wait to have a better garden because I met you this year! :)
It is a very good name!

I can definitely see the yard transforming. This is fun! Only 'cause I don't have to do any of the work.
Justine :o )
Why do I not have your energy??!!?? And the neighbor's yard too??
We are surrounded by oak trees, and have to rake so much in the spring that there isn't much left to "thatch" once the leaves finally quit fallin'.
Besides the annual bug fight to keep the bugs from devouring my flowers, plants, and veggies, I have the annual weed fight with the backyard, so I've been killing the multitude of weeds and trying to fill in the patches with some Bermuda. Maybe one day I'll have a pretty lawn like yours.
Anxious to see all your hard work come to fruition!! I know it's gonna be beautiful. I'm like Jennifer - by the time you get your gardens all up and goin' good, the heat and humidity will have done mine in!
