It smells like someone went through the area with a chainsaw. Grass, cedar, tree smell.
The forest lost about 1/3rd of it's leaves, gonna be a weird summer. I have a TON to cleanup, will probably rent a stronger push behind leaf blower.
In May of 2022 I recorded over 10,000 strikes and my station started recording May 11th 2022. 10,000 strikes between May 11th and May 31st.
This May, for the entire month -- 57.
Exactly. If we're going to endure 6 months of gray shitty weather, let us bask in the fact we have ZERO water issues. We're pretty much the least freshwater deprived place on earth.
I don't water or fertilize mine, I just burn about a gallon of gas every 7 to 10 days mowing it. Grass is primarily a uniform erosion control, which native grass would accomplish. Cutting your lawn does work as a rodent and pest barrier for the home, so that's one unmentioned perk.
My weather station recorded it's highest UV rating back in early May..... smoke has kept the higher sun angle from registering a higher reading since then.
