I know it feels like 90% of connective storms fizzle by the time they reach the coast, but I don't think that's a new thing, or that it's gotten worse in recent years. Missing 0.20" on a single cell a dozen times a year isn't going to make that much of a difference, I don't think. But your overall point is clearly accurate - the coastal has experienced more dry conditions than most places in the state.

2.40" First time >2" (by 7a-7p CoCoRAHS obs) in over 2 years.

If you dont want to look at them for another 2 weeks (as flowering winds down), pull them with one of those extendable tools. Like $30 on Amazon. Next year hit them with pre-emergent (corn gluten) like the 2nd week of April, then the 1st week of May. It'll take care of that other grass, too. It's remarkably effective. Putting any synthetic fertilizer or herbicide that close to water is about the worst thing you could do. And it won't do anything for your current situation, either.

We bloom, we use snow messurement tools before harvest, and we arrange. Oh and we always dandy.

A small heard of cows will take care of both. Clouds just moved in but managed a nice morning here as well, went from 37°-60° in short order.

Light my money on fire, poison my watershed, and give my whole family cancer? How could I say no?

Plus, it's peak bird flu season (I think). High(er) risk from any migratory flyover droppings or waterfowl flock intermingling. Always clean boots when going between farms/chicken runs, too.

Are these spur or beak wounds? I'm glad my city has a no-rooster rule, they intimidate me. My surviving hen from flock 1 is defensive of the 1.5 year old flock 2 hens. I picked one up when she was stubborn about coming in at dusk and when I went to set her down in the run, the old hen delivered a direct peck (more of a bite, actually) to the back of my hand. This is now the chicken thread plz rename and pin @dendrite.

Haven't gone this route yet. I did go soy-free a year or two ago on your rec, and I think it's made a big flock-health difference, so I'm willing to try this.

Never a doomer myself and always laughed at them. Especially the bunker-type (although I still laugh at them - first was on the premise of end-times being near, but now for thinking their efforts will matter (they won't)). Thought it was just mankind being mankind, thinking the end is near. My tune has changed since the Epstein files were released. I always sort of knew capitalism ruled, and 99.9% of people are just a means to the elites end, but never realized the span and depth of their control. People can shout conspiracy, but it's pretty much validated now - democracy isn't real, you are merely a dollar sign, nothing you do or say matters (beyond hyper-locally), and it's top vs. bottom, not left vs. right. But the SS change has sailed. Unless it's a full-scale revolution of the 99% stomping out the 1% - but we're too fat/happy/distracted to pull that off now. The total control/surveillance state is actually here (hi!) after 2+ decades of slowly normalizing it. --- One of the silent issues nobody is talking about is the exponential proliferation of data centers and the economic and environmental impact they'll continue to have. We're rapidly being pushed towards a economic and natural resource crisis that'll result in the total takeover of the 99% - and it'll be done without a single bullet, quite easily. And by the time it happens there will still be people shouting about climate change, and gender identity, and human life being a bad use of tax dollars (while not mentioning the tax dollars that are used to line pockets), and whether or not their favorite public figure is a pedophile.

They'll even eat each other. Morbidly - if one dies and isn't removed, they'll eat it. Less morbidly - leftover cooked egg whites are a favorite treat. You can also feed them crushed eggshells (I bake mine quickly first) as a calcium source.

Your house must have 0 insulation. A few less $6/pint IPAs a week and you can probably save enough for better insulation, maybe even a mini-split. Not really a dunk. Recognize it early and pull the plug before kids >>> pretend it's working just to protect the institution of marriage while deep down everyone is miserable.

This would be the real wtf.

Still only 41 here. At least the dews are up?
