Tune in to the DIY Network tonight at 7:00 PM for a show called Turf War. Tonight’s episode features yours truly.
Turf War is a new reality TV show developed and produced by local company Idea Factory. The show pits two neighbors against each other in a battle for the most picture-perfect yard. As you can imagine, my husband and I aimed for a green-theme in our landscape. In only two days, we seek to transform our backyard from a weed patch to a drought-tolerant thing of beauty.
Will our green lifestyle win out in the end? Can we do it all in just two days? Am I extreme enough to handle the tough competition? Will all my experience in the veggie garden be enough to get me through this show? You can expect lots of drama, intrigue, and sore muscles in a real-life story taking place in my back yard.

So, GreenBeet, how did you go about being selected for the show? It was entertaining. Did you leave the water feature?

Oh yeah–we totally kept the waterfall. We love it! We love everything about the yard! That was the best part–being able to work with the designer to come up with exactly what we wanted. As for being selected… I was in the right place at the right time.

Did http://www.mosslandscaping.net/ ever finish the water feature? It looked like it was cobbled together for the judging, but they mentioned “leaks in the back”

Is this in Tahoe Park? I know something yard-related was being filmed on my street last month. Looks like I missed out. Just bought in September and my back yard is pure weeds.

yersh – as a fellow TP’er (I may have mentioned that before) I would be interested to know if you did witness a taping of Yard Crashers/Turf Wars. Hit me up on email, cooldmz-at-sacrag.com…
