I had bunion surgery on my left foot and am just now getting back to gardening. One of my projects has been resurrecting our buffalo grass lawn we sodded in 2020. It looked really good, but I let cheatgrass go to seed one year and things have been looking ratty.
Crawling around pulling cheat grass is actually something you can do while you can’t put weight on your foot, so I started this project in December. But I’ve continued working on it. I’ve got a bag of Thunder Turf * from Native American Seed, and I’ve mixed in some bluebonnet seeds in hope of getting something that will compete with the cheat grass.
Cheat grass is just the worst. You’re desperate in December for something to cover the ground and keep the dogs from tracking mud in the house, but invariably you have your first 90 degree day, it all turns to dust, and then we have a tsunami in a newly patchy lawn, so all the mud comes in.
Anyway - here’s hoping I can resurrect the lawn.
