Make sure the image is tall enough to fill an average monitor's content window (say 700 or 800px), and then only large monitors will have to deal with the grass blending anyway. You will not have any vertical tiling.

In Photoshop (adjust instructions as required for any other program), enlarge the canvas say 100px on the right side, then copy a 100px strip from the left edge and paste it onto the right edge so it meets the original right edge of the image. Work the joint (rubberstamp can be helpful) until it is well concealed. Be sure not to change the right side of the copied strip, only the left. When it looks good, cut the 100px strip from the right and paste it back where it came from on the left, then shrink the canvas back to where it was.
Now that's what I am talking about taking it slow with the n00b. Really appreciate it. I will work on this and do everything you said and hopefully it comes out looking great. That is what I want though I would like it to look great for 1024 x 768 which to me is the most prevalent. Then for larger resolutions they will see the grass. Thanks a lot and if i have any troubles I will post back. Thanks
