what's up with the restriction to seeding new grass for 12 weeks after applying a CG pre-emergent?

pre-emergents stop anything from growing, not just crabby grass

...If you mean, affairs as in prepping for nuclear war, nothing will prepare the common man for this. And, all of us are commoners.  You may be able to bug-out in some mountain hide-a-way for a few months, with your iodine tablets, and MRE's, but nuclear winter will over take all of humanity.   At best any preparations will just prolong the time it takes for your visit from the grim reaper. 

as soon as I hear about a nuclear bomb hitting somewhat nearby, i am going to drive straight towards it and get it overwith as quickly as possible. Or maybe just take a bite of my Smith and Wesson.

looks like an out of shape vagina

So is it too early to put fertilizer spikes in for the struggling bushes? Or can I throw them in this week 

what do the instructions from the box say?

Crazy early spring underway here. Forsythia blooming and daffodils and other bulbs are coming up.  Seems about 2-3 weeks early. Haven't been below freezing in almost 2 weeks and HVN is +5.2 MTD.

First cut happening today and I have a ton of weeds to pull under my deck. 

 

 

 

holy shit, that pic is from right now? i am probably 6-8 weeks from that.

flipped to cat paws 15 mins ago, already accumulating. not expecting more than a couple inches. Can see the back edge flying NE on radar

We will be talking Stein in no time! 

i took a walk out in my back 40 yesterday, and there is some major water ponding going on. I imagine some of it has to do with the ground being frozen, but there is still a ton of water. my first thought was, if that Stein guy mentions anything about it being abnormally dry, or mentions the word drought, I am going to report his twitter post lol. because it is complete BS, at least up my way

Crush job for NNE on the 12z Euro....looked really good for many up there.

yeah but what about ACTATT? are you sure NCT (>900ft ASL) won't be the jackpot?

Not to mention how I've talked about his area (or many others for that matter) while it's down the drain here.    Give me a break.

ACTATT or bust

When is the 2022 thread starting?

Can I detach and slice up my lawn soon and then drop seed later? Or should that all be done around the same time?

you'd be wasting your time. the purpose of slicing is to get the seed in good contact with the soil. Do it all at the same time-same day

you would also be wasting your time doing all that in March. Wait until soil temps are >50, which usually doesn't happen until April

no offense intended, but why get cute with a map? just say a general 1-3", with a couple 4" spots.

but then again, if you did that you wouldn't be drawing a dong.

i can't wait to read what Ray 40/70 thinks about this.

Jesus. I can see some grass blades already poking up. That’s pretty terrible. 

He was already out there trimming those grass blades with scissors. Lesco going down in the rain tomorrow. lawn thread fired up tomorrow night.

It’s probably too late this year, but what mtn would you recommend to take kids who haven’t learned to ski yet? I’m referring to your area specifically. 

not Vermont, but Pats Peak in Nh is a solid place for kids to learn, and you won’t break the bank there. only trouble is that it’s not a resort-type setting

Nice to see it pounding on the Pittsburg webcams with a few inches down so far. Seems like this year has been lacking these arctic fropa 3-6"+ events for the upslope areas. 

This live feed is one of the best I've found up there. 

 

can confirm. just had an absolute white out roll through Lopstick. Vis was maybe 75-100 ft

LOL In NNE, anything is possible in the winter...until the evidence thaws in the spring.

That is a stone cottage we had built on our land by this great old-timer stone mason.  He can barely walk his knees are so bad, but he is a great guy and fantastic with stone.  All built from on old stone pile at the bottom of a field.  We did this before we were sure we would build a house, so we would have a place to hang out on the land.  It was our whiskey cottage, where we would keep a really good single malt scotch and some nice glasses.

that’s pretty awesome. I’m jealous

what a torch

what a shit winter. sitting at <50% of my seasonal average. have had 5" of snow this month, with 2 major torches. Just end it already, i have no use for that 8" coming friday. Supposed to go snowmobiling next week up in pittsburg, even that's not looking great.

I just ended winter for us, I just purchased a new 2022 John Deere S240 fully loaded with 42" deck, 44" blower, Enclosure, Bagging system, Weights and Chains.

if you have any kind of slope on your driveway, throw a couple extra weights on the back. that blower up front is pretty heavy. my chains chew up my driveway nicely when the rear tires slip, which happens frequently-I only have 2 weights, and the dealer doesn't have any more in stock-backordrered.

why the hell is savannah, Ga even on that list? they can’t get accumulating snow more than what, once a decade or 2?

For me, the bigger issue comes from tracks that get frozen into the trail.  I hate getting stuck in frozen ski ruts.  Seems like you are always wrestling to keep the sled going the way you want rather following someone else's tracks.

drop the skis in the ruts, and just let the slot car track take you whereever you want to go-or at least wherever the previous guy went
