TauntonBlizzard2013

A bit off topic, but I went camping at a place called Russell pond, just south of loon mountain. Quick google looks like it sits at about 2000 feet. I remember looking at the trees around the pond and they seemed darker the first 5-10 feet up the tree. I always wondered if that was due to snowpack or not. I’d imagine that particular location got a lot of snow. That was almost a decade ago now but I always though that would be an awesome place to live, I’ll ever forget it. Just felt like an area that would produce prolific snow amounts

Beds edged... planted my hydrangeas and forsythia.... now we await the mulch

Just out of curiosity, what is the return rate for a system like that down here? If ever? Can’t be often

Yup... big money to maintain too. Plowing, and if it’s gravel, grading filling etc etc

SE Mass special on April 17th? Lock it up.

Yeah I think that was issue last spring.... it got hot pretty fast and just kind of burnt out. All my neighbors are on wells and they all have irrigation and run it daily, so I’m less concerned about running the well dry. I’m the only house on the street without irrigation, so keeping it wet is going to be the challenge

Is it too early to throw some seed down?

Edging the beds tomorrow and going to order some mulch this week.

When can hydrangeas be planted? Ordered some through a Nursery and they Are in really good shape, just obviously small having them shipped. Do I plant them now or wait?

No money so I just fertilized the entire lawn with the leftover starter fert from last year

Also, anyone looking for bonafide “spring” type weather over the the next few weeks is going to be very, very disappointed. Looks like typical early New England spring mank garbage

We wrong. Every other model is laughably far south it’s hard to even envision a scenario where that solution would verify

I head ya... what you see is kind of what you get in my yard currently. The plan was to re do the back yard with loam and new seed but that’s obviously on the back burner until further notice now. It’s green and doesn’t look horrible so it is what it is. I literally ordered hundreds of bulbs that flower between late spring and fall to plant in our bed that is bare. Can’t afford to do what is really like to do which is line it with some nice bushes.

I have a bed that goes along the side of my house that I made deep into the fall... arborvitae didn’t make it, so I ordered a bunch of bulbs and am just going to plant all kinds of bulbs and stuff over there that flower at different times. 100s of bulbs

It’s pretty green here locally.... cut down some trees today and there were buds and small leaves coming out on a lot of them... grass is also pretty green. Pulled out the few arborvitae I planted early last fall as they were picked clean by deer. My neighbor had them lining his entire garage and they look like lollipops. Completely eaten as far as the deer can reach up.

At this point, probably

Mosquitos are next! Lyme disease corona and EEE

Nope.... pretty crazy. I think they fell victim to being a non essential business...

They refunded me no problem actually. They are all shutting down unfortunately.

Course I was scheduled at this weekend is closed for the foreseeable future. Now I try to get my money back from golfnow

Closing in on an inch of rain

Had about an inch here.... 33 rain now

ripping

Pouring snow.... temp down to 35

Kind of dumping
