The Lawn in 2011, the 2nd Year
I am showing my old photos. This is August 22, 2011. The 2nd year after planting lawn. The lawn was standard Korai-Shiba before it was replaced to TM9. Behind the yard was a rice field, yet.
I used to like tall lawn in these days. It looks nice, though a little shaggy. The mowing height was from 28 to 38 mm. The mowing machine used was our second mower, a manual lawn mower, Husqvarna NovoLette 540N.
A green screen of Go-ya (bitter melon or bitter gourd) planted for shading is growing well.

Baroness’s fertilizer (2 bags) and Idecompo, which I had ordered, has arrived. The soil will also arrive tomorrow in the schedule. I am planning thatching + vertical cutting, topsoiling, and Idecompo for this weekend.
The photo is the lawn in the morning on February 25th, 2016. The snow accumulated on the whole surface again last night. But, because it was relatively good weather in the daytime, the snow melted in a short time and …

It rained yesterday and the snow fell last week has almost gone. This is last week, on January 24th. This is today, on January 30th. It’s a big difference. These are conifers and ash in the entrance. The above is …
