CARY’S CORNER – RUBY RED DISHES
DECEMBER 2013 When I was growing up, going to Grandma Riley’s house for Christmas often rivaled the gifts. My grandma lived in a little Kansas
I started Cary’s Corner as a way to educate, entertain, and maybe even make you laugh while learning about lawn care. Let’s be honest—grass, weeds, and soil might not sound thrilling, but when you’ve spent 30+ years battling stubborn wild violets, wrestling with sprinkler systems, and outsmarting crabgrass, you learn a thing or two (and collect plenty of stories along the way).
These blogs break down the what, why, and how of lawn care in a way that’s easy to understand and (hopefully) fun to read. Whether it’s explaining why pulling nutsedge is like giving a haircut to a Chia Pet on steroids, why moles do NOT mean you have grubs, or why your lawn sometimes acts like a rebellious teenager, Cary’s Corner is here to help you laugh while you learn—and remind you that ClassicLawns has your back.
Welcome to Cary’s Corner! A place to learn and laugh about all things lawn care. With 30+ years of experience, I share real-world tips, expert advice, and a little humor along the way. At ClassicLawns, we don’t just grow great grass—we make lawn care fun, too! Scroll through the posts or use the search bar for a specific topic.
