Lots more time to fish during the quarantine. Still lots of rumors and rumblings about the Quabbin opening so I've been hitting some new waters. Amazing the number of trout stocked this year in Massachusetts. Been our 5-6 times thus far and more trout than bass, and that is not on purpose.

The Scotts Starter with Weed Prevent is working wonders. All the crab grass and dandelions are coming up white and dead. Even turning the clover and chickweed yellow so I'm assuming it will be dead soon. Going to over seed again in a couple weeks when soil is more consistently in the upper 50/low 60 range. Still a rookie but the more and more I read the more and more I realize the issues with Scotts grass seeds. 50% seed and 50% coating. Trying some Jonathan Green with a similar fescue/rye/bluegrass blend.

Definitely going to have to put more seed down towards the end of the month with more starter/weed prevent. Also going with a clover lawn infront of the wall where the small pines are and the upper right corner near the road. Next project will be all crushed stone on the far side of the driveway for my other parking spot and around our raised veggie beds (not pictured). March was all about grub-ex and moss control (raked a lot of dead grubs and moss out) then aerated and two apps of fert given how poor and compacted the soil was.

I did. It is not a broad spectrum pre-m though so it depends on the types of weeds you have.

Depends on how thick/thin the lawn is imo. Fertilizing in spring also encourages weed growth so given how thin my lawn is I also went with Scotts Starter w/ Weed Preventer. Has a pre-emergent that also allows new grass seed to grow. If it is well established I would throw down a fertilizer but make sure it doesn't have a pre-emergent in it.

Slow and steady. When we bought it to so far this year. Overseeded the thin spots and hoping they fill in a bit.

No real cold weather coming in. Check your soil temps. I like low 50s, just takes longer to germinate. I'd rather go early and have less germination but lasting than later in spring and have it all burn up in July.

Already did a moss treatment and overseeded a ton yesterday. I'm actually surprised with how much I'm starting with this spring and how green it is.
