You’re on the right track. Detaching and aerating is key. You can apply all the grass and fert you want but a compacted soil will crush the apps. Get your soil tested though..you made need lime.

The supply chain issues run deep and is complicated. Buying American made is a great idea and people should make every attempt to do so…though it would only plug a few holes in a boat full of them. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/01/america-supply-chain-shortages “What we’re experiencing is also the net result of decades of policy choices starting in the 1970s that emphasized consumer sovereignty over citizenship. The consolidation of power into the hands of private equity financiers and monopolists over the last four decades has left us uniquely unprepared to manage a supply shock. Our hyper-efficient globalized supply chain, once romanticized by men like Tom Friedman in The World Is Flat, is the problem. Like the financial system before the 2008 crash, this kind of economic order hides its fragility. It seems to work quite well, until it doesn’t. The specific policies that led to our supply constrained world are lax antitrust, deregulation of basic infrastructure industries like shipping, railroads and trucking, disinvestment in domestic production, and trade policy emphasizing finance over manufacturing.”

The breakers to the AC were flipped off several weeks ago. This is comfy weather.

A warm and wet summer with a strengthening nina as we head through fall doesn’t give me good vibes.

Plus I generally don’t like paying for anything that I can do.

70% green in the CT valley as endless summeh continues.

Coming soon…

We know you hate warmth and would love snow now but the only dilemma stopping you is the October snow equals winter sucks, myth.

Big and red? Need pics?

Beauty day and the colors are popping here. Sucks that those in coastal areas like DIT still have 70% green.

Maybe he doesn’t want to be a soccer mom anymore?

Maybe our NNE crowd…?

The other option of cold and snow this month doesn’t work either from a superstitious standpoint so we’ll take the sticky cheeks for another two weeks.

Need that for Dec, otherwise it’s a waste.

Interested how you came up with that number.

Pretty much on track in CT. The wet summer is helping the leaves stay greener a tick longer: https://www.ctvisit.com/articles/connecticut-fall-foliage-report Peak foliage timeframes The leaves will change in the northern parts of the state first, around Columbus Day, and then move down into the valleys and down toward the shore. Here are estimated peak foliage timeframes for each section: Connecticut Northwest/Northeast Corners: October 3 – 8 Connecticut Eastern and Western Mid-State Counties: October 16 - 23 Shoreline and lower Connecticut River Valley: October 24 - 30 Southwest Corner: November 7 - 14

I don’t know what to tell you other than we do have colors popping.

Geothermal heating and cooling Cory. You have solar already so you’re half way to energy independence. https://dandelionenergy.com/ edit: I see you’re getting a heat pump which is great but geothermal uses a heat pump but get rids of your AC units. As long as your have existing duck work, it’s not that expensive. And using solar to power the geo is ideal/awesome.

Nice colors popping here. Pretty much on track.

It's been a monsoon growth year for trees so of course foliage will be a tick behind. We'll need warm and dry days with cool and dry nights instead of of swamp cheek weather.

Beauty out. This is how we draw it up. 65/55.

It’s annoying but a great weekend on tap. It’s not sustainable either so eventually the rubber band snaps back. Hopefully not in DJF.

Dews coming down, it’s over. On to fall.

It’s time to take the emoji down. We’ve had enough rain since July for years to come.
