This shows our grass and banana trees on the right as of this morning. This spring, we put on new grass seed, fertilized with Miracle Grow, and did hand spot watering on the brown spots. The thunderstorms we had in the last few weeks helped too. Even though our water consumption is the lowest ever, due to severe restrictions because of the terrible drought in California, the lawn has never looked this good before.

We don’t show this off, and fortunately, our little front yard is walled off from the street. But we enjoy the green. Pssst, don’t tell anyone!
