Thursday – A Little Personal – Lucy and Twiggy – Two Cents

~ John W. Howell

Lucy and Twiggy

“So, what are you doing there, Little one?”

“I’m checking things out is all.”

“Oooo. I love checking things out. Talk to me.”

“Well, this new sod seems to be coming along.”

“I agree. It still needs some time before it’s mowed.”

“Yeah, I was going to mention it needs a haircut.”

“If you want to see a mess, follow me.”

“You talking about the side yard?”

“I sure am. Where did you go?”

“I see a weed over here. Just making a note of it.”

“You will need a whole book to make weed notes in this place.”

“When are the guys coming to tear out this St Augustine grass and lay the rest of the sod?”

“I heard mom on the phone with them. They said this weekend.”

“It’s been four weeks. What was the holdup?”

“This kind of sod is a little scarce. So it took some time to find a grower.”

“How do you know all this stuff?”

“I keep my ears open.”

“Well, I’m still going to mention a few things to dad.”

“You go right ahead, Little One. I’m sure he’ll appreciate your two cents worth.”

“Come on. My opinion is worth at least a buck.”

“We’ll see, Little one. We’ll see.”

    1. It is a brand called Zorro Zoyza. It is heat tolerant, shade tolerant, and stands up well to traffic. (Four legged kind) It costs more, so most of the installations don’t use it. The demand is low and it takes longer to get establisjed and therefore those that grow sod only plant so much.

  3. “Oooo. I love checking things out. Talk to me.” LOL! I loved this line. 🙂 Happy Thursday, John. Good luck with the sod. Our yard is pretty much soaked from the heavy rains we’ve had the past several days.

  16. Well, if rain is good for new sod, you’re in business! I’m a little miffed that the weekend’s supposed to be rainy — at least, more or less — but I suspect it will be an advantage for you. At least it will be if the crew’s willing to get that sod actually on the ground.

  19. So sweet! Sod is challenging to keep looking decent at the best of times with dogs. Perhaps you can leave a crappy patch just for doing business. See what I did there?😂

    1. The landscape crew used their sod lifing machine and then discovered they couln’t get the sod. Rather than lift the sod and leaave a mud hole I told them to leave it down until the new sod comes in. So the hayfield is on purpose.

  23. Gotta love these two. Never a dull moment and good of Twiggy to keep you apprised of the weed situation. I am sure her two cents is invaluable!

  29. I’ve heard of that kind of grass — not sure it grows up here, so it must have been when I was living down south. I know you’re eager to get the yard finished! Oh, and I’ve got listed on my calendar that somebody special is having a birthday tomorrow — happy happy early!!

  30. Ha, ha! I’d say Twiggy’s information is worth at least a dollar. 😉 The new sod is coming along just fine. Good luck with the installation of the new grass.
