DavisStraight Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yeah, dig that up otherwise it wil keep coming back, it might not this year but it will again next year. I think those berries are poisonous too but who would eat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Mine bloomed twice last year. A few of mine dud too. I wonder if since they bloomed so early this year in March if they are fooled into thinking its time to bloom again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Looks like a great weekend to get some seeding done with the rain coming in this week. Any thoughts on how to rid myself of some knotweed that's in an area of my lawn? The stuff is the worst! Jjust chased the cows away for the second time today (only 7:15). I wonder if their farmer would mind if I used a bb gun on them. It would be much more enjoyable for me, and I could do it from the comfort of my deck rather than having to chase them--coffee sloshing all over the place as I do so.

South Shore Slop Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I just eliminated knotweed from my property this year. Get some Roundup concentrate which is 50% glycosomething (as opposed to 1-2% contained in ready to use Roundup). Cut the weed off about 2' from the ground and inject it with the concentrate. Watch it melt..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Just seeded a new section of lawn yesterday, great timing I think... I had thoughts of doing it (overseeding and new) last weekend and didn't. Hopefully, I can find time to do it on Saturday prior to any rains.

I did some overseeding just before the rains on Saturday. Wished I had done it a week or two earlier. Plus, I was about 75 lbs short on seed. So, il'l be doing some more this weekend I guess. Runing out of time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 This has been the best season for lawns in memory.

NECT Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 This has been the best season for lawns in memory. Just wall to wall green, lushness..March thru October mowing season..Amazing. It looks as good now as it did in May I was thinking the same thing recently. I was thinking about organic fertilizer, but then I just decided to try mulching instead of bagging all the time. Seems to be working. In any case, it's cheaper than fertilizer, and it takes less time. I'll probably go back to bagging for leaf pickup in October.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I was just out cutting my back grass and doing leaf clean up when I came across this snake that I nearly ran over with my tractor by accident: I am not sure what type of snake it is. I caught it, took these pictures and released it into the woods to avoid killing it with the tractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I did a second leaf cleanup of the season in my backyard and the tree's in my yard are now about 40% bare. I'll wait about 2 weeks to do a final clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
