Here in Oklahoma there is a yearly film festival called the Dead Center Film Festival. The festival featured a film called, Gimmie Green, about the American love affair with the lawn.

Here in Oklahoma, it is hot, shade-less and dry in the summertime, yet everybody seems to aspire to golf course style lawns. Seeing all those people sodding and mowing and sweating in the blazing heat seems like the entire state is suffering from some grass seed induced mass psychosis.

Gimmie Green attempts to answer some of the questions I have about this phenomenon. I seriously think that it needs to be included in the schedule of the next Greefestival.

Ok so i've been away for a while. I spend every summer in Oklahoma with my boyfriend so I have been busy, busy, busy working on his house and garden. OMG! So much work. I've started a compost pile but it's going...err.. rather badly. I'll keep you abreast of any new developments.
