Grass is Green Where You Water It
I did not appreciate how hard it is to grow a healthy lawn until I moved to the high desert.
Growing grass in Boston where I grew up was never an issue. It rains a lot in New England and I mowed the lawn twice each week in mid-summer.
Here in New Mexico, growing grass is harder. The soil is sandy, the heat intense, and rainfall is rare.
Working in our high desert yard reminds me, "Grass is not greener on the other side of the fence. Grass is green where you choose to water it!"
