I am not sure what happened, but I think a new (now old) lawnmower with the blade set lower weakened our St. Augustine so that it no longer grew thick, shading out weeds. Now we have lots of weeds, none as cheery as dandelions.<br /><br />After reading a local gardening column, I asked Dear Hubby to set the mower blade higher. At some point I will start getting outdoors again and sprig St. Augustine around. In the meantime I will be watching to see if the St. Augustine in several neglected flower beds will turn its aggressive growth back into our yard from which it spread.LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369350929348290480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-11527855810526122262012-06-17T14:22:12.052-07:002012-06-17T14:22:12.052-07:00That house looks empty!
