  1. My lawn looks amazing and I do two simple things starting in April.

    #1, Fertilize while the grass is still brown and just starting to green up. Use a fertilizer with a high first number.

    #2 Two weeks later when the grass is starting, over seed with good quality grass seed. Two weeks later over seed again.

     

    The result is a very thick lawn that the weeds have a difficult time penetrating. I still have to pull a few weeds every week before I mow, but not too many. My neighbours all say that I have the nicest lawn around and ask what my secret is. Pretty simple eh?

     

    I only use Scotts products which I purchase at Costco. My lawn is so thick that I have to raise my lawnmower higher until the summer heat kicks in and the growing season slows down.

  2. Congratulations Bob! I had a friend in the US Navy do the same thing. He was in the ROTC, they put him through college and then into the Navy as a weapons officer in the back of an F-14. After his first tour was over, he applied to medical school through the Navy and was accepted. After serving for many years he opened an orthopedic practice in Chicago post military. Your military really takes care of those who serve with these fantastic opportunities.

  3. Hi,

    I have been camping and fishing the Massasauga for 20 years and highly recommend it for family camping if your family does not mind using a thunderbox for a washroom! If you go to Pete's Place where you register you can go from there anywhere in Georgian Bay with zero portages. Most of the park is located in back bays that are relatively protected from high wind and high waves. There is a marina near by where you can get an extra supplies and is also an LCBO outlet for real emergencies!

     

    Here is a great link to all campsites in the park including the back lakes:

  4. You can also try a couple of places at the Moon River where it drains into Georgian Bay. This is only two hours from the city and has plenty of Bass and Pike with the odd Walleye. Google it because there is Moon River Cottages and at least one other place there.

    My buddy and i have been fishing there for over 20 years in July and have a blast.
