raise your mower! Raise your mower! RAISE YOUR MOWING Height! Measure the grass itself, don't trust the gauge on your mower! 3 1/2 inches high in extended heat. That helps to shade the ground, thus conserving water, and choke out weeds.

Our dry, dry winter has left lots of brown areas in lawns and we are getting calls asking about those areas. I had large completely brown areas in my yard, but with extra watering with good sprinklers, my brown areas are coming out of that winter damage and greening up, as you can see in the last couple photos. I have not put any extra water on the browned area in the first photo, and it is not green. I have been setting a sprinkler on the other brown areas daily for about 30 minutes for about 3 weeks and those areas are looking much better.

Hey everyone - we need your help! The Friends of the Nile Theatre is a (soon to be) nonprofit group that is working to keep the Nile Theatre open. We are in a transition period where the owners, Ward and Sara, still own and operate the theatre, but we are trying to help take some of the financial burden off them with volunteers running the actual movies. Right now, we really need volunteers!! We have some dedicated folks helping already but we need you. Attend our "Volunteer Kickoff" from 11 am-noon on Saturday, March 7 to learn more - or if you know you can help with concessions/box office one night a month, contact us through Facebook or at [email protected].
At the meeting, you can also sign up to help with fundraising, maintenance/cleaning, and programs (other than movies). We'll also be open to suggestions and ideas.
