North Fence Work and Relocation

This weekend and last I spent a little time working on the north fence line.  This is one area where the neighbor's fence is actually on my property.  I'd like to put up a better fence but I need to get this one straightened up so the new fence is placed properly.  This is a bit of a task as the neighbor ran this 20 years ago and mainly wrapped it around trees approximating the property lines.  Over the years, it has grown into the trees and has sunk into the dirt.

This first picture is from last weekend before I really started doing much work.


The following is from this weekend a little more than half way through the day.
This is then one of the last pictures I took looking back from a different direction.

 

Buffalo or Blue Grama Grass

The picture below is of the grass that was predominantly growing on the property until the massive drought last year.  I'd like to buy some of the same type grass seed to get grass growing in some areas where I disturbed the soil.  I used a cell phone app to find out what type of grass this is and the app indicated it was Blue Grama.  As I researched more, I found that Blue Grama and Buffalograss look very similar except for their growth habits.  Blue Grama grows in clusters where Buffalograss grows more as tuff.  This means I'll be ordering a little Buffalograss seed when the spring arrives.
