It's Not Easy Being Green




Back on 02/02/07 in "Insert Dog Here" I shared with you a glimpse of my dismal looking backyard. Well I did put the dog there and some trees and shrubs. So here's an update on how things look.

Ok a little better, but we have a ways to go. As you can see the grass situation is well, "challenged". Texas is a pretty dry place despite the rain we had last month. The trees and shrubs have been planted and a few more may go in. We'll see.

Today the first of a few sprinkler companies strolled trough my backyard to give me an estimate on putting in a sprinkler system. In order to have a decent looking yard, it's absolutely necessary to have one here in Austin.

It's not easy being green and it's certainly not going to be cheap either.

From my experience growing up in near Palm Springs... yes... sprinklers are a must have for the ever-so-green lawn. Can't wait to see the finished product!
