Bermuda Journal: March week 1

 

This is to document where the journey begins.  It is early spring, March 2022.  We've just come through a cold snap with temps down to 25, and even now the highs were in the 40s.  The pictures below are from the front yard and  they show the terrible state of the lawn.  While some grass has left dormancy, the bermuda grass is still waking up.  But in addition, there are numerous weeds that are over 50% of the total ground cover.
