Talking The Grass is Always Greener

My lawn is looking better than ever this year.
I just had to take some pics of it.
The grass is always greener on my side of the road.

Sorry for the pic quality.
My wife got the good camera in the divorce.
I got the house and the car.

You definitely got the better end of the deal, especially the car!

Its zoysiagrass.
I mow it.
I feed it once a year.
I water it when hasn't rained for a week (almost never).
The weeds are afraid of it, it chokes them out.

I have been looking for this lawn that when you step on it, it is so thick, that your shoes literally sinks into the lawn. I don't know the name of it but it looks like yours.

Now that the divorce is final I got a new camera.

I am still learning how to use it. It has a nice macro setting.

Note the much sharper images than my first post.
