Yard work today included mowing the lawn. All of the lawn, even the parking strip. This is the area that had extensive crow damage. But really invasive grubs damage. The crows were merely removing the tasty invasive treats who would have killed the lawn eventually. So the crows may have been doing a public service by attacking an invasive interloper.
After essentially removing what was left of the “grass” (mostly weeds) we put down compost, topsoil, and micro-clover seed.
The result is mostly clover and some other green plants. There are a few bare spots. If they don’t fill in I may seed some more. The rectangular spot next to the sidewalk is our water meter box.
Side note: I play Wordle. On Sunday on guess 3 I had two letters in the wrong location, in both guesses 1 and 2. I was having a very difficult time finding a word that fit with the letters I had, and those that had been eliminated already. I put in a set of letters that worked but were not a word I knew. It was accepted, not the answer, but more clues for another guess.
Flawn. Never heard of it and didn’t know what it meant. A bit later I looked it up to see what it meant. From AI
A flawn (short for “flowering lawn”) is an eco-friendly lawn alternative that blends traditional turf grass with low-growing, perennial wildflowers and clovers.
So apparently we have a flawn. Who knew.
