June comes in like late April?

I had rented one from Taylor rental.....pretty much a one-and-done deal when I needed it.

I rented a lawn edger for the weekend. It did a pretty good job on the front walkway, probably added close to a foot of width and I didn't break any pavers in the process. The edge around the city sidewalk is a different story. The yard had really spilled onto the side walk so while the edge did a fairly good job at separating cement from the yard, I now need to go back through and clear the overgrowth that is sill on the sidewalk. The funny thing is i used a snow shovel to pick up the stuff that l used the blower for, and for clearing the sidewalk, I'm going to try using an ice scraper. I didn't need these in January and February, but Memorial Day weekend? Break out the winter equipment.

I went to buy a blower for my post-mowing clean up. I ended up coming back with a nice back-pack blower instead. I'm ready for fall clean-up.

Thanks--timing notwithstanding, does a broad-leaf fertilizer work as well?

Pictures are better than reality.

I had used some starter fertizer (I had overseeded in the back) over a month ago. The back in particular has a lot of leafy crap growing in it. So, I was thinking some type of weed/feed might do the trick. Or some broad-leaf weed stuff. I think there's a mix of crap I'm trying to rid. Forutnatley, I don't think crabgrass is an issue.

Thanks....bummer I'll need to wait a couple more weeks before I do the front. I'll be good on the back in any case.

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.

They don't have any "boys in blue". Instead, they have "the girls at the Blue."

can we pin the lawn thread?

Given the number of weeds I have, I'm sure it will handle some of them!

Thanks--I wasn't aware they had pre-emergents that didn't impact grass. That sounds like a great idea. Do you put that down prior to seeding?

Sorry for the dumb questions here..... I want to overseed my lawn. I know I need to rake it. Do I put down fertilize a couple days before I seed? Same time as seeding? After seeding? Should I use a starter fertilizer even though it's already established? Thanks for the help!

I'll go with: '78 Rocktober Irene's flooding 1993

Over 30 hours of continuous snow at this point. I'm not sure if we can claim "days and days", but "days" works.

Congrats, Ray--that's awesome. Makes for a great winter finale. With the exception of an hour or so yesterday afternoon, I haven't been able to see across the river since the snow started. No idea of accumulations. We've probably received close to 10" since the end of the day yesterday. Snowing nicely now, progged daytime accumulations today of 1-3".

LOL--too funny. That is a painful sight though.

Melting? What's the temp?

We even has some pretty healthy waves coming in. I'm not sure what the winds are, the statement that was issued a couple hours ago said up to 50mph gusts. Nice. Congrats to you. Looks like you positioned yourself just right--just to your west not so much. Ripping here.

Great--I'm glad s/he is a spotter. It's going to be tough to get anything accurate. I've been in 1/4 visibility for what seems like hours and I have no snow on my car, a road that's mostly snow-free and a deck that doesn't have a flake.

Getting smoked down here. Little to show for it with the howling winds I have no snow on the deck, very little knew snow in the yard and the street it blown clear. I hope they're getting good measurements away from the water.

Beautiful shot. It's just dumping big flakes here at Pit2. Meanwhile Pit1 is getting rocked under that band. FTW in both places.

FTW at Pit2: ...Snowfall rates will reach 1 to 3 inches per hour late this morning... A band of very heavy snow in the Gulf of Maine will continue to rotate to the northwest towards the coastline this morning. Blizzard conditions are expected with winds gusting to as high as 50 mph, leading to near zero visibilities and whiteout conditions. Expect significant blowing and drifting snow with very heavy snow continuing through the afternoon hours.

IT's been ripping here for about 2 hours with the wind howling. Deck, car and street are all blown free of snow. I hope people can measure someplace to see what actually comes down. No measurements will work here. Looks like Pit1 and Hippy are doing great in this. SN+ and 29* at Pit2
