Keeping up with the Jones' - Part II

How do you know that the we are well into Spring? It's when all the neighbors come outside like they are preparing for a battle. The victor gets to claim the Nicest Looking Yard bragging rights. I met a new neighbor. He came by and told me his fiance' requested he find out what I did to get green grass in my backyard. I don't know where he's from, but he's got to be the countriest guy I've ever met. He told me his battle plans, and acknowledged that I was currently winning the war. I saw Geckogirl's neighbor had her kids digging out their weed infested garden.
My Latino neighbor was actively going to war. He's the one I talked about earlier who just aerated & seeded his yard since that is what worked for me. He was out with his kids, and guess what? I caught him & his daughter on my grass, checking it out, letting her play, and watering his own lawn. Click on the pic here. Remeber, my yard used to be a whole lot of red clay, now it's filling up with some greenery. #1> What are you doing in my yard? #2> Get your kid out of my yard! #3> Who's going to clean up all that damn straw?
Some new tulips have blossomed! I now have Dark violet tulips to go with my purple & pink ones. I could have sworn I planted some bright colored bulbs. But knowing me, I just bought anything and planted them w/o much thought.
