Depending on where you live you will have better luck with some grass varieties than others. Grasses fall into two basic categories: warm-season and cool-season. Warm-season grasses will be able to survive a brutal summer and tend to do well in the southern states. Choose from varieties such as Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Kikuyu. Cool-season grasses handle cold much better than warm-season grasses. They can tolerate freezing temperatures and some drought. Don't expect them to survive the heat or go longer than 4 weeks without water. Kentucky bluegrass is a popular cool-season grass. If you choose a warm-season grass, plant in late spring. If you choose a cold-season grass, plant in late summer or early fall. If you're going with sod, the time of year doesn't matter as much, though summer may still be too hot. Before you get started planting grass, you'll need to make sure your soil is in good condition. It's a good idea to test your soil. Soil testing will give you an idea of how much fertilizer to use, and what kind. It is difficult to amend soil in an established lawn. If you need to add fertilizer work it into the first 4-6 inches. This is a critical step. Soil preparation is the most important part of healthy lawn growth. Your goal is a soil that is loose, rich in organic matter, and able to hold moisture while draining well. Clear the area of all weeds, rocks, and roots. Using a shovel dig up any large objects in the area where you'll be planting grass. Make sure you get rid of all weed roots. You may have to use a chemical weed killer to get rid of weeds completely. If you must use chemicals, refer to the manufacturer for instructions on how much to use. Till your soil either by hand or using a rototiller depending on the size of the area. This is the perfect opportunity to mix any compost or other amendments to your soil. Add gypsum to your soil to improve drainage. Now that you've cleared and tilled the area, it is ready for leveling. Use a garden rake and smooth out the entire area. Fill in any low spots and break up any remaining clumps. While leveling the area it is a good idea to apply a "grade," or slope, away from the house foundation. Applying a grade will help you avoid any water runoff problems in the future.

summary: Pick which grass is best for your climate. Know when to start. Test your soil. Prepare your soil. Level out the area.

Before you set out, you need to be aware of the unique dangers that the area poses to hikers. Is there poison oak to watch out for? Rattlesnakes? Bears? Is it wasp season? What do you do if you're stung? Lightning preparedness is a critical part of hiker safety. Learn to identify and find the appropriate shelter in the event of a lightning storm. If you are going about 6,000 feet know how to recognize acute mountain sickness and how to manage it. Make sure you know basic first aid for things like cuts, scraps, and broken bones. Backcountry hiking needs to happen in a group, unless you're a very experienced hiker. Aim for a small group of like-minded friends, between 2-5 people for a safe hiking trip your first time out. Ideally, you'll want to have an experienced hiker who is familiar with the area you're hiking. If you are experienced, you have the opportunity to introduce a newcomer to the wonders of backpacking. If you have never been backpacking, you might want to consider going on your first trip with an experienced hiker. It's best if your camping partners are somewhat compatible in terms of hiking speed, distance they are willing to hike, and camping style. Some people like to travel lightly and hike long distances. Others prefer just getting out of sight of the car. If you travel solo make sure someone knows your plans and that you have the equipment and skills to be self-sufficient. Water is heavy, but critical on a hiking trip. You need to bring enough water so that everyone has at least 2 liters of clean water to drink each day, especially if you're working hard and sweating on your hike. If you are using a water filter, bring replacement parts, including replacement filters. They often clog with sediment, or just plain break. Boiling water for at least one minute is an effective backup method, in an emergency. Leave a detailed itinerary with someone who is not going on the trip, including your route, inventory, areas you plan to stay. It's important that someone knows when you expect to return, so they can check in if you're late. Be sure to contact them after you have safely returned. Leave a note on your car, at least. This can be very helpful in the event that you don't show back up to the car on time. Check in at the ranger station or the Visitor's Center before you go camping. This is an easy way to let people know how long you're going to be in the area. An average hiking pace is 2-3 miles per hour. Don't get overambitious. Shoot for less, rather than more, so you can take time to enjoy the sights. Determine the approximate area where you will camp each night ahead of time. Try to plan your trip so that you camp close to a reliable water source each night. All of your food needs to be secured from bears, and kept separate from your tent, if you're going to be hiking in the backcountry. Even if bears aren't regularly found in the area you're hiking, it's important to protect yourself from all sorts of curious animals, who might want to sneak a bite. If you will be visiting an area with bears, bring a bag and rope to hang your food from a tree, or use an Ursack or bear canister, depending on local regulations. Follow the same precautions with anything scented, including hair products, shampoo, lotions, toothpaste, and gum. Always use the same bag for storing and hanging food and scented items, from campout to campout.

summary: Familiarize yourself with local hazards. Always go with a group. Carry more than enough water to get you from one source to the next. Check in with someone before you leave. Pace yourselves. Don't keep food in your tent.

You'll need 1 zucchini, 1 medium red bell pepper, 1 medium onion, 3 cloves of garlic, part-skim ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Wash the vegetables, seed the red pepper and chop them into 1/2-inch pieces. You should mince the garlic. Set these aside while you shred the cheese. You'll need to shred and set aside: 1 cup (250 g) of part-skim ricotta cheese 8 ounces (226 g) of mozzarella, shredded Heat a large and deep 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add your chopped vegetables and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Saute the vegetables for 6 minutes and stir them frequently to prevent them from sticking. The onion should become translucent while the zucchini and red pepper soften. Open and add one 28-ounce (800 g) can of crushed tomatoes to the skillet. Stir the tomatoes into the other vegetables until they're combined. Break up 6 ounces (170 g) of no-boil lasagna noodles into thirds and add them to the skillet. Push them into the vegetable sauce so they're covered. It's alright if some of the broken noodles are poking out from the sauce a little. You'll stir the lasagna as it cooks, so those noodles will become covered and soft. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook it over low heat for 15 minutes. Take the lid off and stir it a few times. Once the noodles are almost soft, scatter 1 cup (250 g) of the part-skim ricotta cheese and 8 ounces (226 g) of the shredded mozzarella over the lasagna. Cover the lasagna and finish cooking it for another 10 minutes. To garnish the lasagna, you can sprinkle it with ground black pepper and 1 cup (25 g) of torn fresh basil.
summary: Chop the vegetables and shred the cheese. Saute the vegetables. Add the crushed tomatoes and lasagna noodles. Cook the lasagna and add the cheese.
