So I've ordered my herbicides to get my current weeds under control. Going to use a backpack sprayer and use a combination of Tenacity and Ferti-Lome (Weed Free one). This looks to be the best 1-2 punch to know down initial weeds to get overseed process going.

I don't give a shit about case counts. Hospitalizations and deaths are it.

Are the laboratory-confirmed tests the same as the real-world ones?

Severe covid.

Oh the humanity of it all.

Which means the vaccines are effective, because there are minimal hospitalizations (<1%) and no deaths. Nearly all deaths and majority of hospitalizations from Covid can be attributed to those that are unvaccinated.

"Crabgrass, keeping lawns green since the Dark Ages."

Yeah, just a short drive to Deerfield....

Hope all those Alaskans are safe. 8.2 magnitude earthquake there.

It's on my list to get there. Are they fully opened? Last I checked they were only doing pre-orders for pickup at specific times.

Are they allowed to throw "shrimp on the barbie?"

Not true in the mRNA vaccines. Efficacy still in the 90% realm after 6mo. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmc2103916 https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2021/04/pfizer-covid-vaccine-91-effective-least-6-months

Yep, for a State as populated as we are, we are knocking it out of the park.

It is just cases but it still a pretty large cluster. 833 cases tied to P-Town. Only 7 hospitalizations and no deaths. https://www.wcvb.com/article/provincetown-covid-19-cluster-now-833-update-7-28-2021/37156737

Nice to see the New England States leading the charge in getting vaccinated. https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/vaccine-tracker

Thanks. I've had good results using their other products over the years.

Getting delivered today. This is the seed I'm leaning towards. https://www.jonathangreen.com/product/black-beauty-ultra-grass-seed.html

It is remarkable the dichotomy between E and W CT. Mystic as nits though on Saturday. My MIL ended up chartering a school bus to shuttle us all too and from Colchester rather than try and have us all try to find a parking spot. We were dropped off right at Steamboat Wharf. Sailboat sets of right from the drawbridge. https://www.argiamystic.com/default.aspx

I've let mine go and I've only had to mow twice this month. It's not growing like crazy since I haven't dropped any fertilizer in over a month now. I want to say I last did it in mid-June. Lawn this year not a huge priority with all the construction work going on around outside. Hoping by end of August that I can start some. Been doing a lot of youtube watching to learn best ins and out to a better lawn without the major effort.

Yeah, rain totals tales off towards my area in SE MA and the Cape. Still a crazy amount of rain for a month. What a blessing this has been for gardens/lawns. No baked lawns this year.

0.19" here. Over 9" in last 30 days.

It took far longer over the course of human evolution to develop immunities to many viruses/bacterial diseases. It's called science with research and development of pharmaceuticals that have increase life expectancies by decades. Couple that with changes in hygiene and other factors around how we live and we've almost doubled life expectancy in the US since the mid 1800's.

Perhaps but to sit idly by is not effective either.
