After careful inspection of the LipsYard, we found several spots that need re-seeding in the lawn. We had one big hole in the front LipsYard from an underground rotting tree root, and a couple more in the back. What needed the most work was the area under the Pagoda Dogwood (Cornus alternifolia,) which is very shady and tends to wash away with heavy rains.
First step was to fill in the area with a good garden soil, then apply a shady grass seed, and finally add a light layer of little pellets that expand when they get wet, providing protection, warmth and moisture for the seed. Now all we need to do is keep the ground moist and wait for the seeds to germinate.
Seeds of another kind, discontent, were planted over the weekend; Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) sent a letter to his fellow members of Congress to join him in Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney. It's brilliant to go after Mr. Cheney first, because if you impeach President Bush, then Cheney takes over.
Whether these seeds germinate and take root is yet to be seen, but we can always hope.
