Anybody have thoughts on that stuff advertised called Grotrax? It looks cool.

Does get cooked most of day. Not very compacted especially on slope I have similar issues with spots in my yard. Shit soil and ledge underneath. I'm trying to build up better soil in those shitty spots. I have had success with the lawn soil stuff you can buy at a local home store.

Thanks Kevin. Your work is much appreciated.

I think that was the hail date. There were two massive storms that hit within a few days of each other.

Yeah I pulled a bunch of that. It’s annoying AF.

5 influential events for me. Not in order. 1) Gloria. This storm excelled my passion for weather. Just remember watching trees bending like I’ve never seen before. The stratus was flying by. 2) Blizzard 96. This finally broke the 2’ cherry after being screwed in December 92 and just missing the Feb 94 long duration event. 3) 4/1/97. I still haven’t had a storm that left me in awe like that one did. 4) January 2005. Most intense winds in combo with snow rates and temps I’ve seen. 5) May 1996 Brockton area macroburst. While I didn’t get to directly experience it, it tore through the city and suburbs. The damage I saw was astounding.

Literally chicken and beer at your house. Amazing.

We are lovely, peaceful, beautiful people in the NE forum.

What a dumb comment he made LOL.

Josh and everyone in that whole school went through absolute hell. As you saw from pictures, everything is completely smashed there. Knowing Josh, he’s probably helping out. Frankly, he probably can’t really even find a way to get home right now. He’s done this before, and I’m sure he’s OK. Are we really surprised we have not heard from him by now given what we‘ve seen?

September is fine. It can grow in November even.

Thanks Bob. Maybe it's old wood. If it dies back, not sure what I can do. Sounds like no way of preventing that?

Question about hydrangea. For some reason ours has not had any real blooms since we planted them a few years ago. Does anyone no why? I did read they should get morning sun and aftn shade and mine sort of get the opposite. Is it possible they are not in the correct "zone" for temperatures? I have no idea what kind these are.

This has been as green as my lawn has looked so late in the season. While not the extreme lush green like early June, looks great overall. It seems like I lost some of the red thread which is good. Lots of mushrooms though. Will throw on another application before the rain Friday.

Red thread is alive and well. Hopefully we get some dry days.

Nice stuff Mike.

Looks good. Thank Christ you don't do the orange-red nonsense.

Anybody else notice that flowering plants, like dogwoods roses etc. look absolutely amazing this year? Wow.

Yep, there too. Looks great. Makes the traffic that much easier.

Nice Legro. Looks like a good spot there. That's a nice looking yard for something new. Sometimes it takes years to get established. Also, my wife is obsessed with the median on 93 in NH. There are tons and tons of daisies and lupines from the MA line to MHT or so. It looks beautiful. She wants to pull over and rip up a bunch every time we drive by...lol.

Lawn is lush with green nudity. I have a few areas with weeds trying to poke through, but I'll treat those later. Really happy overall. Hope the faucet doesn't shut off.

Dropped lesco couple of weeks ago for round 2. Yard is about as lush as I can remember. Even though May was just over 4" rain, it was timely.

Previous owners of the house we are in now, put in a similar tree. Has to be worth thousands.

Hopefully I don’t jinx it, but I don’t see any gypsy moths and it appears the winter moth caterpillars or whatever those little green worms are....pretty much not apparent. I think I saw one of them. Those things up into a couple of years ago, would tear the oaks apart. Seems like whatever that fungus is, had got them.

Maybe Tamarack knows this, but any reason why seemingly healthy oaks have had trouble leafing out completely? When I look at a couple of my oaks..it looks like they have little buds, but no leaves. Indeed I have two trees that look like a third of the tree just did not leaf out. There are no caterpillar issues so curious what is going on.
