The plants are becoming more colorful and filling out a little but still
have a long way to go. The lawn is beginning to be really plush looking -
just like I wanted it. All the low voltage lighting is hooked up and
operating. Coming along pretty well --- EXCEPT the fresh sod was laid on
February 3rd and the landscape contractor had told me to water it every day
till the roots took hold, which I did. Then on Tuesday the 13th I left him
voice mail asking when I could have my gardner mow it. He replied by e-mail
on Wednesday the 14th that it should be cut between 10 and 13 days after it
was laid, and to make sure it wasn't watered within 48 hours before mowing
or the mower's wheels would make ruts in the soft dirt. Uh-oh! I didn't
read that message until 7:00 PM Wednesday - one hour after the sprinklers
shut off! And the gardner came Thursday morning. He mowed it only about 13
hours after the last watering. And guess what? I've got ruts!

Ah well. Maybe it won't be noticible. Now that the roots have taken hold
I'm watering every other day.

The front and side are coming along nicely too.
