Summer Time Survey

This is the current progress photo. The grass has filled in though most of it is crab grass. The last time I mowed the lawn I set the mower cutting height two notches above extremely low. From here on until the dormant season I will gradually raise the mower cutting height each time I mow. By the end of the season I will have the grass cut as high as my mower will cut to over winter.

I'm doing a survey of improvement projects I would like to do when the heat of summer is past. The survey amounts to a jig-saw puzzle of different projects for different parts of the lawn. The size of each project is limited to what I can cover in a brief post to my web log. If the master plan is in manageable bites, then the various jobs should naturally organize into bite sized undertakings. In the process I should become well informed as to tool requirements and material requirements. Maybe the time spent in study will stimulate my imagination to more creative applications when the time comes to do the work.
