Clueless About Grass

After days of rain, today, it didn't rain. So the wife half of my neighbors Clueless Couple Plus 2 hauled out the sprinkler and watered her muddy front lawn. In hopes of growing grass in the shade of two huge trees, the husband half of Clueless Couple Plus 2 threw out a bunch of grass seed earlier this spring. I think the clueless ones think, anyone can grow grass. Later this summer, they will discover that they aren't anyone, because they can't grow grass. If Clueless Couple Plus 2 were to ask, for starters, I'd tell them:  Grass seed goes out in the fall and a water-saturated yard doesn't need more water dumped on it. But then I realized, maybe the wife half of Clueless Couple Plus 2 is truly yard-smart. Grass seedlings that rot now won't need to be mowed later. And a dead yard is an easy one to care for. Blame it on the shade trees.
