My parents had decided that the lawn to plant was a dichondra lawn that grows only in southern california . when we first planted that lawn , it was a disaster . with every shoot of grass that came up , there was a weed that sprouted beside it 我不知它為何有這名稱,我只知道它幾乎要了我的命初次種植這草坪簡直就是災難,每一根草都附帶著一根野草,我們要用手把野草一根一根的拔掉,完成才沒多久,猜猜發生甚么事?

So we started pulling those weeds by hand , one at a time . as soon as we finished . guess what . the weeds came up again . then a gardener told us there was a fertilizer specifically made for dichondra lawns that would strengthen the dichondra 有人介紹我們用一種專給diacondra用的特別肥料,用了這種肥料, diacondra會長得夠壯,連野草的養份也搶走,這樣就不必費神去拔野草。

Then the dichondra would overtake the weeds and the problem with weeds would be solved . and that s what happened . how strong is your faith today 于是我們就用了那肥料,結果只有很少野草長出來,每星期我都去把那些野草拔掉,否則,它們就會把diacondra擠死。

Dichondra is like a little one leaf clover and it will grow a couple of inches tall , so i had to mow it and of course we had a push mower 的人都曉得,它像小苜蓿,單葉苜蓿鋪滿地面,約幾寸高。因此,我還是要刈草。

Then in the backyard , my father planted a dichondra lawn 在后院,家父要我參與是個好主意。
