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.

I had not......I had put down some other 'early season' soil nutrients and didnt' want to totally ruin the lawn by having too many things on it at once.

What's the best way to get rid of crabgrass? I've had some take over a pretty big section of lawn. Is this just something to tackle with overseeding in the fall? Thx.

The warmth of the car begins to lessen on August 11th.

i had a 30-second burst of rain. Hoping that's it and we can get the sun to break through soon.

With the current stage of the lunar tides, it’s less impactful than it would be in another week or so. coincidentally, I was reading about the Kennebec today. It dumps nearly 6 billion gallons of water into merrymeeting bay every day. That would only take about 2 months to take the quabbin from empty to full.

shouildn't be sonfusing.....it's 84*......way to warm. Heading down to the ocean where the water temp of 54* will make it cool. Kevin's just making it confusing.

Yes…84 is. Heading to more comfortable environment

Not a lake—Kennebec River. About to head down to the ocean. Winds and 54* water temps….breakout the sweatshirts.

Aside from a too toasty 84*, it’s a beautiful summer day at Pit2.

I'm hoping any of the rain is limited to the monring and we can salvage the afternoon.

Im adking about tomorrow. 100% sun here now.

Looking at the HRRR, I wondering if I might even get some breaks in the clouds at Pit2. Am I hoping against hope?

Is there reason to be more than just hopeful that the front may move out a little faster than forecast on Saturday? I'm hoping Pit2 can be good for outdoor activity. Thanks.

What are the thoughts on whether we salvage Saturday? Will we have sun? I have family coming up to Pit2......being outside will be a whole lot easier than in the house. TIA
