Yard Day 4: The End of The Beginning

The future of my lawn. Ain't it pretty?

We were too exhausted to plant the seed on Friday, so we put it off until Saturday morning. That pretty much left us with spreading the seed (and fertilizer),

raking one last time to get a bit of soil on the seeds, rolling the entire thing with a crazy water tank roller thing (pictured here),

watering the entire thing by hand,

and cleaning up the sidewalk and driveway.

Next up: Watering the whole thing, by hand, twice a day for at least the next two weeks. It's important to keep the seed bed moist, but not soaked, and evenly irrigated across the entire surface. That means hand watering and it means a lot of it.
