Those deep roots can help grass as well. The key, I’ve read, is deep watering, not shallow. Shallow water, shallow roots for grass. If that’s true I would think frequent small rain events in spring probably hurt grass come summer heat.
Anybody change their own iPhone screen? Mine finally cracked on its one millionth drop. Gonna do it myself. Also thinking I’d should replace the battery while I’m in there. Any advice on either? Thanks
Lots of rain now might help a reservoir or deep water tables but it ain’t gonna help grass in July or August. The top foot of soil can dry out quickly in the summer sun.
I think many people confuse carpenter bees and bumble bees. The former is a problem, the latter not in my experience. Carpenter bees themselves don’t cause troublesome damage. It’s not much to plug a hole, sand it and stain it. The problem as @CAPE mentioned is if woodpeckers catch on. Then the damage can be big. I’ve heard but never tried a fake owl. I’ve read they will keep woodpeckers at bay. Again I don’t know that. I have seen carpenter bee traps that catch them by the dozens. Whatever you try, if you can rid yourself of them you probably need to.
It wasn’t a good pattern for cold. The entire Arctic was pretty much cut off.
I know lack of cold was an issue for many but not everywhere. I think there was a time in late Feb where we had had only one all rain event since New Years. Some included no snow but did have some type of frozen. Only 5 times did we manage to hit a tenth of precip in Jan and finished almost all 1” below normal.
