14th Lawn and Garden Thread P Allen Smith 2024
backedgeapproaching replied to Damage In Tolland's topic in New England
There are a few different pre emergent options and they have different time periods that they cover based on rate of application. Some only cover as little as 30 days-ish. Some can cover 90-120. Depending on what you applied and when, you could have lost all coverage to stop crabgrass from coming up (if applied early spring) Sometimes you need to do a split application and apply again mid summer. Don't shoot the messenger about chemicals..lol. Just giving info. Also, the thicker you can get your grass also reduces weeds that will germinate. I don't use pre emergent, but do get some crabgrass pop up in spots and some other random stuff. -

2 days ago I was outside and my cat chased 2 Fishers into the woods, saw it first hand. I wonder how aggressive they really are towards house cats? Interesting article below. Coyotes, yea that is a different story for sure. https://archive.nytimes.com/scientistatwork.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/04/06/do-fishers-really-eat-cats/ -

I did the same, letting it get little long to shade the soil, although it's been dry here so it has not been growing like it normally does. Defintley some drought stress showing yesterday. -
Cars have that mid winter caked salt look from the dust and pollen around here. I have had about 1" of rain since May 1st, heavy watering of veggies and gardens

I don't think there is any repellent of any kind that works on them. Maybe @tamarack knows some old school concoction.. -

I do remember him posting about some streamer/upslope type scraps like you mentioned a number of times. It's obviously not prime upslope country, but good enough to get some leftovers? Certainly closer to the source region of orographic type snows than Gene would be. But, I am just spit balling and he would obviously know more than me...ha. -

My property tax already almost doubled last year. They reassessed all of Manchester in 2023, they went through the roof.
