It is an amazing thing to have a beautiful lawn yet it is another thing to look at it and have mixed feelings.
Do you at times look at your lawn and wish you never had it(when things are not going your way)or at other times smile at the mere thought that it is the best thing you ever created?

sounds like the pursuit of that elusive 'perfection'... :smile:KennyV

I just mow peoples lawn to make money and keep healthy at the same time........no Jym for me.........lol

The only mixed feelings I have about my lawn are that I'm happy to see my kids playing on it and I wish it has no dirty patches :smile:

I'm with Adan. If the lawn is giving enjoyment to people, whether that's a game of soccer or a pleasant place to sunbathe I'm happy. I rarely feel disappointed by it.

In the beginning I didn't know that much about lawns and how to take care of them.
I used all kinds of fertilizers and the lawn would start off looking good and by the middle of the season
be looking like crap. Seems like the more I fussed with it the worst it got. And everybody had an answer
for what I should do or what I was doing wrong. After quite a few years its still not perfect but when I
finish mowing, trimming and weeding I'm proud of how it looks.

Looks like I got all winter to ask a lot of questions to hopefully solve some problems I still have.

Nothing like a neat green lawn........cubby

It can be kind of a "love/hate" kind of a thing, can't it? I always get a kick out it when I go past someone's place where they have decided that a lawn is not for them and they have tried to do some creative stuff with concrete and gravel!

I often thought that, for all the time I spend maintaining it, I should have something I could harvest from it. Somehting for the pot or for the market.
I realize it enhances my real estate from and investment standpoint but it would be nice to be able get a bigger return on the time and money other than a compost pile and a nice lot of grass.

I am with you Robert, why would we simply spend so much time on something that yields no more than an aesthetic value. Nonetheless, I gather satisfaction when people are happy at what I have done.

Here we cut it when we think it need cutting.If it weren't for the weeds I wouldn't even have a lawn.We get those pretty yellow flowers all over it in the spring. It gets watered when it rains, and browns out usually by late July. Then a nice white covering sometimes by late December. Yes mixed feelings!
