Thursday night, I changed the oil in the lawn tractor and spooled the trimmer with string. The grass is starting to turn green and grow, but I will hold off on mowing for another week. The ground is too soft from the rain we got last week.

Today I put down a pre-emergent and I fixed the ruts alongside the road. I don't have a curb, so delivery drivers sometimes pull off into the grass. It's annoying, but there isn't much I can do to stop it.

I borrowed my neighbor’s aerator and didn’t look it over well before hooking up to it. The tongue got bent and I decided it would be easier to just get a new one. I think it may have already been fucked up.

Picked up a new one from Lowes and discovered that it’s actually a significant amount of assembly. Got the thing together and did the majority of the lawn last night. Will finish it after work today. I wonder if it’s possible to over aerate.

Im in Mchenry and if it was warmer here I would have given my lawn a once over today. It’s super long in a few spots where I re-seeded it last season.
