So we got the lawn mowed short and raked and seeded, only for me to be in the hospital for five weeks in May/June. I wasn't able to water during the hot dry spell, and I'm pretty sure anything that managed to germinate died at that point.

We mowed the grass down again and the bare dirt patches are still basically all dirt, which made re-seeding easy. I added Digitalis seeds from the plants in our front yard and a few grams of golden rattle seed to a native wildflower seed mix.

In better news, the apple trees gave us massive harvests so we are set with apple sauce, apple butter, and apple pie filling for the next few years!

    Image is a view of our yard from the balcony, showing a sloping lawn, a terrace with a shade structure. A forest of oak and chestnut trees lines the back.
