A good garden joke: In the dead of night once a week, lightly fertilize their perfect lawn. Keep doing this all summer long... and enjoy watching them mow it once a week... twice a week... THREE times a week as it grows faster than they've ever seen it! (This joke works best if they water their lawn a lot to keep it velvety green.)
