15 years??? Some seeds???? The reason the lawn is thin near the pavement is the pavement holds the heat from the sun and dries the soil out all day and all night. You might consider something different or plan to water a little extra near the concrete. What time of day are you watering? How long do you water? You should be watering about an inch at a time (measure with cat food or tuna cans). And you should only be watering once a month this time of year. And this would be a good place to mention that it would be much more helpful to tell us the town you live in. Zone 10 CA is not helpful at all. I'm guessing San Diego, but it could easily be Calexico where conditions are much different. The close up pic is of bermuda grass. It does not look like the rest of the yard is bermuda. Bermuda likes different care from most other grasses. It really likes to be mowed at your mower's lowest setting. Fescue, your likely other grass type, likes to be mowed at the mower's highest setting. You can decide now which one you like more and just set your mower for that height. It will take care of itself for the most part. Fescue, however, will need to be reseeded in the fall if you want to thicken it up. It does not spread like bermuda grass. If you are near the coast (really need to know) then Kentucky bluegrass makes an incredible lawn. You would have to start over but that is not that difficult. You would have all summer to think about that. I'll attach a pic of a KBG lawn near Long Beach. Nothing will grow on the south side of the hedge you have out front. If you are going to leave that in, you should plant flowers or something on the north side of that. The reason your back yard is bumpy is that someone in the past has rototilled the soil. They might have had a garden once. You can level that by adding sand to the holes. If you want to dig up the high spots, that becomes a lot more work. Thank you thank you thank you for posting pictures. Now tell us where you live! Here is some general lawn care best practices. These are not mine. In fact when I first started doing this, I disagreed with all of it, but by reading here over the years, these really (REALLY) do work. They are in order of importance. 1. Water deeply and infrequently. As I described above, water all at one time but not very often. Monthly in the cool months working your way up to every 7 days if you really get HOT. Don't fall for the plan of watering a little bit every day - even if your neighbors all do that. It is a recipe for disease and weeds. 2. Mulch mow at the mower's highest setting unless you have bermuda, bentgrass (you don't) or centipede (you don't). 3. If you are going to use chemical fertilizers, do the first app any time after you mow real grass for the second time in the spring. Fertilizing before that is a waste of fertilizer because your roots are not ready. A good starting schedule is Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Thanksgiving. If you are going to use organic fertilizer (look for the Organic Lawn Care FAQ on the FAQs of the GardenWeb Organic Gardening Forum), then you can fertilize any day of the year, or every day of the year, almost as much as you can afford. It is very hard to overdo organic fertilizer. If you decide to go with bermuda, it can use chemical fertilizer every month. Bermuda is a nitrogen hog. Other grasses cannot tolerate chemical ferts in the summer. KBG lawn in Huntington Beach. All he does is water infrequently, mow high, and occasionally fertilize with used coffee grounds.

Hmmmmm - no scent at all? That is consistent with Peace. (Exasperating disclaimer of the reality: some people find Peace to be delightfully fragrant, but others (including me) find Peace to have no scent whatsoever. :-)) If it's Peace, you'll know soon enough as it opens. It has an ethereal beauty that is breathtaking! I believe I've read before that at least for a while after it was introduced, at rose shows it won so many blue ribbons that show hosts created a separate class just for Peace blossoms so that the rest of the hybrid tea entries wouldn't automatically lose to it! Consequently its legacy in progeny is huge. I grow two hybrid teas in my little condominium area (Fragrant Cloud and Paul Shirville). BOTH are grandchildren of Peace.

Here is a site that may help you ID the bloom. Here is a link that might be useful: gallery of blooms

Looks like your tree is ready for the natural sunlight now. Move it in at night if your temps get below 40. Flowering usually takes place when the plant is ready...You can try to coax it along with a fertilizer which is high in the middle number like 10-50-10. Your pot looks plenty big enough to me. Can it be to hot for a plumeria? I don't know about that. Where mine are it gets pretty darn hot in the summer! What can you do with the light in the winter? turn that sucker off and save some money. The plumeria have a natural dormant stage in the winter and will resume growth in the summer. Are you expecting flowering to soon? Heck no, I want all mine to bloom like yesterday!! If I missed something..sorry, someone else will more than likely help you out. Best of luck with your plumeria! John
