As promised guys, I will try to keep this updated monthly as things grow and change over the course of the season and take new pics that are as close to matching the originals.

Have a few changes coming to the fence row and honeysuckles but thats another thread.

I did, I alternate between mowing diagnally in each direction with the push mower then use the lawn tractor each time I mow.

I'd use the tractor in diagonal directions, push mowers leave pretty bad lines in my opinion! Looks good though!

Yeah, and it looks like the tractor can lay some nice stripes (I like the look of the wider stripes better also)....Real nice property though!

It can, but its not a zero turn and puts a lot of stress on the grass up around the house turning around and at the street with the ditch for the water drainage I end up cutting lower then I have the deck set and looks terrible. Almost say it goes down to 2" where I'm cutting at 3.75"

Thanks for the sugestion though but yea, tried it.

Here yu go, June photo's
Things here are burning up and I've done created a monster and can't keep up. Thinking about letting the lawn go dormant and focus on keeping the roses, landscaping, shrubs, tree's and garden alive.

Just to much to water with a hose and were on city water, this months bill will be at least $200

Ok, waited to reply till I got new photo's so here they are, as you can see the lawn is under a lot of stress from the heat and no rain. Only going to get worse with 100+ degree temps and no rain.


You might want to open two browser pages to see side by side shots at before and now.
Enjoy













Landscaping
Still looking good here




Got the honeysuckles almost filled in again, this time neighbor can't get to them and its burning her up










Garden

First ripe tomato's coming in




Peaches are about the size of a baseball




Its a jungle in there LOL

Updated photo's:

Peaches anyone? I had to brace the brances with 2x4's they are so loaded.





And the garden, were freezing tomato's today, not enough to get a canner full yet but they are coming in and I'm so glad I went with 6 feet between rows and the vines are over my head


Last year
The dam vines grew together and couldn't get down the row
