It does.  It’s like 3 hours from my door to like Logan Airport but feels like it should be 6-8 hours haha.

You can get there that quick? Takes me 4 hours to get to Stow.

We’re in the lime green stage too. Hopefully the fruit trees get a little sun before they’re done blooming.

At least the whistlepig is having fun in the rain.

I has one living under my shed for a couple of years, didn't see him last year so I assume he's gone.

Great weather for you guys who fertilized and seeded.

I would stop the tilling. You are bringing up more and more weed seeds every time you till.  At this point just try to level the lawn as best you can, it might be hard without machinery to get it mostly level without bumps.  I would seed, but just FYI you are going on have to water alot to get it to survive through summer. You will definitely have alot of weeds coming up with the grass seed too that you will have to tackle along the way or after the grass is established.  There are certain fertilizers you can use at seeding that also help prevent weeds from germinating(it won't stop them all).

I think they have starter fertilizer with weed prevention, not sure how well it works since it's not the same as regular fertilizer. Depending on the size of the area the sod idea wasn't a bad idea.

Went to lunch in Killingly, when we came out it was drizzly.

Any good recommendations on full sun, hardy/drought resistant grass seed? 
 

 

Jonathan grass seed, many different types, get the one you think you need.

Fam saying lots of down trees in ware and many roads blocked

Not surprised, that circle DIT drew is right over Palmer heading to Hardwick, probably then the Brookfields.

Was sunny at my house but I could see dark clouds west, I drove 3 miles west to the store and it was a torrential downpour, when I came home the ground was barely wet.

Looking for some tips—-my backyard lawn is last spot I got around to fixing up and it started yesterday. It’s uneven and overrun with weeds. I tilled up all the weeds and now I’m left with soil and chopped weeds and wondering which direction I take from here.

Should i a) immediately start burying the chopped up weeds with soil, level out and plant grass seed or b)keep tilling for next few weeks until I don’t see anymore weeds come up? 

I understand weeds will keep coming up in option A but I do feel that if I at least can get a grass base, I can manage and pull and eventually get the grass to out compete.

Thoughts?
 

 

Next time you do it spray weed killer and once they're dead, scrape them up and put new loam down, since that options gone I think I would go with A.

Wind kicking up

Windy here now too

Windows and doors wide open all evening.

Down to 63F so may need to close up soon, but the warm season sounds of insects, peepers, is a different vibe than the past 6 months.

Birds singing all day too, definitely spring.

I think those are the kind that if you kill them pregnant millions of little alive spiders come out and run all over the house.

You're right about that. Thank God mine was in the shed.

Ours turned into dead spider 

If it was in my house mine would have to but in the shed they eat other insects so he's doing me a favor.

@weatherwiz

this one was impressive.  
 

That looks like the one I saw in my shed the other, has to be the biggest spider I've ever seen, wolf spider?

I may relocate inside...maybe the sun makes in appearance in the next hour but its not pleasant outside.

I went from a cool 53 this morning and wore a jacket to 75 with some sun.

What I usually do around here is basically find an open field or like a golf course. But it's not technically chasing, I don't chase after the storms...usually get to a spot before the storms get there. But this is why I love BDL...offers a great view on the western horizon. When I go elsewhere in the region...NY or PA then we try and pick a location within a radius where things look "good" and just hope and pray something comes close by lol. 

I have a spot a few miles from my house, its on top of a high hill and you can see for miles, when I go there's usually 3-4 other people up there for the same reason.

My poor dog is totally gone wake up soon with the thunder. I swear she has a sixth sense for when storms are approaching too. My poncho is ready!

They hear the ones in the distance that we can't hear.

Looks like the rain is later Saturday, I have a dumpster to clean the house out to get ready for sale and don't want rain Saturday morning or early afternoon.
