« White House vegetable garden harvest: Year 2 | Main | Weekend garden chores »
My column in today's Baltimore Sun is about my attempts to impart my new knowledge of lawn care -- courtesy of my Master Gardening classes -- to my reluctant husband.
As any woman will tell you, it is harder to talk a lawn-loving man about his grass than just about anything else, including sex and money.
Take a read, and let me know what you think!
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Back in the winter of 1973/74, when we bought our first house, I was given Jerry Baker's Talk To Your Plants and Plants Are Like People. In one of them, he says to aerate the yard by walking on in your golf shoes. (Do golf shoes still have metal spikes? It's been nearly 40 years, after all....) Perhaps you could mention this to Husband.
He would probably pack up his clubs and go play.-- Susan
