NEW LAWN NEW LAWN NEW LAWN NEW LAWN

So, we have lived in this house in Kearns now for 20 months now. We moved in in December so everything was covered in snow and couldn't really tell what the yard looked like. When spring came around I didn't really focus on the yard a whole lot because I wanted to try and use what was already there, which really wasn't a lot. Most of it was weeds and a bit of lawn. Well after hearing about and changing my degree to Horticulture and studying lawns and getting my job at Western Gardens I got fed up with trying to seed and water and seed and water. I took a different approach this year. I started with trying to kill everything off and start over. I then left it for a while to grow and what was killed let deteriorate away. A week ago I sprayed again and down a big killing. I ordered 4 pallets of sod from work and took the opportunity of Lauren being gone camping with her mom to lay the sod. Lauren came home a day early, because of rain and snow up in the High Uintahs, to a new lawn. It is an amazing feeling to go from dead weeds and dirt to a brand spanking new spread of lawn. I love it so much. I now can have people over to hang out and not feel so dumb with my dead front yard. I only need to get a fence on my east side and then my front yard will be done for the year. Next year I will put down a hedge and some flowers and my yard will be worthy of being called the house of a Landscape Designer.
My classes from USU are really interesting. I have a four hour soil class that should be very interesting. I already have homework for every week it's quite extensive. My chemistry class is going to be a breeze. I only need to keep on top of everything with homework and the readings. My Horticulture class is going to be awesome. It is on a Wednesday night and so every fourth Wednesday there is a Bonsai Club meeting and I explained this to him and he was extremely cool. He was all for the missing of classes. I really hope that I can stay on top of everything. Well I'm off for now hopefully I can get some pictures of my new yard.
