Not sure how much rain we got today. Not much, but with a high of only 58, it sure didn'f feel like the last day of summer.

Another pretty dank day. Moreso than yesterday. Farewell, Summer '24. Let the march to winter begin.

Most of us had a stripper dancing in our face. Wiz gets a squirrel, FTL.

Pete peaked a week or so ago.

And why keep your house painted when you can just sit on your ass and watch football? Dollars to donuts, if you're trying to sell your house you'll mow the lawn.

getting too old to mow?

How do you time spring treatment with using a preemergent? Even though neither has a thin lawn, I have used this in the early spring at both Pit1 and Pit2. I think it really does a great job. That said I'd tempted to use a per-emergent in the spring too. But, I'm afraid to overfertilize if I use the per-emergent too soon. End result is that I've never used the pre-emergent because of that timing concern. https://scotts.com/en-us/shop/grass-seed/scotts-turf-builder-thickr-lawn-sun-shade/scotts-turf-builder-thick-r-lawn-sun-shade-mix.html

I had put down new seed a few weeks ago up at Pit2 which had had a lot of crabgrass (and other non-lawn type grass) appear and was really pleased to see how the seed mix has reclaimed the lawn. Not too sure on when it's best to seed again before the growing season ends and whether it's worth doing any type of pre-winter treatment. I'm always leery of putting down fert......don't want to burn anything.

so between today and the end of the month, we lose 40 minutes of days. Patriots last night.....comfy temps coming up . Pete must be nearing peak.

Seasons in seasons. We turn to fall.

You can have some of mine.

Kind of breezy here at Pit 2. And we had a shower when I pulled into town at 2:00pm. that's about it. Debbie doesn't do Maine.
