Spring Lawn care

It always amazes me how much lawn debris accumulates over the winter. We left on our winter trip to warmer places on January 2 and the lawn was in good shape. Returned home March 20 to find a grown up yard full of twigs and small branches. In total, it all filled up one of those huge cans on wheels. Any way, I got it done. Then, I fertilized with a 20-3-4 fertilizer

on 04-14-09 using two 5k sq ft bags. Here we are a couple of weeks later and the lawn is almost lush. I need to work a bit on weed killing and prevention but all in all things look pretty good.

The Dogwoods are beautiful this year.
