just under 1” of rain here since 5/16. dry begets dry

To those saying that today is another dry day, i suggest checking the radar to your west/southwest.

here at MHT it’s been damp and dank all morning. Everything is pretty wet. sure, no real measurable yet, but it’s coming soon.

nice job tblizz 

no need to grade it. it sucked donkey balls.

how much time do you need to wait between fertilizer treatments?  I'd like to get some weed control down, but don't want to harm the lawn in the process.

 

TIA.

Usually around 6 weeks, but you’ll likely be fine after 4

Ha,  Don't get me started about the threads in this group.  Lots of conflict right now because the locals don't want the summer SNE people to come north.  Lots of anger and opinions in the group.  People keep posting they have never seen so much anger towards the "flatlanders".   The worst comes out in people in times of hardship.  I stick to weather and nature postings.....

I think tips diatribe was more about the fact that it is a closed Facebook group. it was a very strange post.

The grass loved the temps of the past week. I overseeded with about 6 pounds of Jonathan Green Sun and Shade, covered with peat moss, did a second app of Tenacity last Tuesday/Weds. Have also been have been "spoon feeding" (.25lbs of N and .5 lbs P per 1000 sq. feet) the past few weeks. The lighter colored spots are thinner areas/some Tenacity bleaching. Already have some serious germination happening. Going to wait until most of the lawn is 6" or the seedlings hit 2" (I took it down to 1-1.5" to overseed last week and is still at about 2.5") and hope it overtakes the chickweed and clover. The lawn is ~90% tall fescue so I need to start growing it tall anyway. Plus I'd rather spot seed again than spray Tricyc in a few weeks, especially the edge around the driveway as you can see how thin it is. Also need to edge the Daffodil area to stop that stuff from creeping in. 

 

I know milo has iron in it but anyone ever use something like liquid iron? I really want the dark green to come out in the future.

What did you use to spread the peat moss?

RIP Little Boy. The flock will never be the same. Went out to the run tonight and found him dead. I had just heard him crowing an hour before and he seemed totally healthy. No idea what happened. Shocked is an understatement.

that's a bummer man, sorry to hear. do you have a web cam or game cam facing your chicken run? might be a good idea so you can watch for predators.

F***

Some squalls in the area. Ground near MHT coated up. 

yeah, i woke up and saw the sunrise and thought it might be a nice early morning walk. next thing i know i am walking in a blizzard. this is no way to run a spring.

Been a nice month overall . Looks like 60’s much of next week. At least 60 ish. And then warm last 4-5 days of month. NW flow and quick moving systems means no onshore flow and decent overall. 
I mean the pattern doesn’t blow and hasnt. You want that.. see spring 2005. 

agree that there have been some nice days, however right now it is 43 degrees and snowing. i have seen snow 4x in the last 7 days. 

whatever pattern this is, yes it blows.

this has been the longest “spring” ever. do we turn the corner before Memorial Day?

when is the sister of 2012;making an appearance?

This wasn’t a tease. Other than a few who don’t think persistence was the was way to go after Jan, most didn’t think this had a chance other than maybe a graze . 

persistence would have brought this storm up the HV, or at least a screaming sou’wester as you like to say

My fields are now mostly snow free although the ground is still totally snow covered in the woods.

Deer are out having a lot of fun, being able to run on bare ground.   I made this 3 minute video of them late this afternoon.  They have so much personality.  Video starts slow but then they all get running around.

great video. that one in the foreground towards the end of the video looked ike a dog running around.

You guys that have issues with others having issues should break off a thread for this threat if you feel its warranted.

i have an issue with you taking issue that others are having issues.

Interesting, but where you say philly climate to our doorstep...temporary? For when next Winter arrives back to some what normalcy and hopefully no more fast flow shit where something can at least phase into something, i wonder what our summer will beike after this shit show.

i know TT didn't say this, and i don't think he meant it, but i highly doubt you will see a Philly climate in Nashua in your lifetime.

All signs point towards a warm period after the 12th or so. 

i am with you and am ready for some spring weather, but didn't all signs post to a snowy period coming up a few short weeks ago?

Just in time, dry periods in Spring lead to brush fires like those already happening this week. Facts are since the first of the year it's been dry and below normal.  Just facts, rivers are low, no snow melt. No one says drought because that's a fraud 5 you make up. Like saying its pouring  .02 today.  

it would help prove your point “dry since the first of the year” if you would post a map the full time period. can you post the map from 1/1 to now?
