wxeyeNH Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Nothing like fresh mulch in the spring. Mowing in 7-10 days Yard and house look real nice. The bright blue ADT sign kills it. Got to put it someplace else for the thieves to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Overseeded today and little rain in site. Well is going to take a beating to water it all inWell, not looking good. Started watering again this morning and noticed sprinkler pressure dropping. Only 30 psi on bladder tank. If I turn off water for a few minutes I get good water pressure at sprinkler then it drops. I'm guessing we'll isnt recharging fast enough but not sure. It's a 500' deep well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amarshall Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Did you drop Lesco starter in early April? Using Naturallawn of America this year. They said soil temps were too cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Azalea, forsythia, magnolias and more all got screwed by the early April cold. Hardly any flowering bushes or trees around here. Kind of a bummer. Farmers are worried that cold shot also decimated the peaches and did some apple damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 The snow here was pretty wet. It stuck to the bushes. I wonder if that helped because I didn't notice a lot of damage except to those that were already flowering. I saw some forsythia that had the tops not blooming...but nothing that terrible.

Damage In Tolland Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 All those ornamentals mentioned in this area have only flowers at the bottom. It wasn't the April cold. It was the -17 to -20 temps in the area in Feb . The landscape in this area of SNE is not used to that type of cold. They all look like this . Normally those are loaded with flowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year it hit -17.4. It doesn't seem like a lot with 7 degrees, but maybe there's a certain threshold? I don't know. But , I've never seen this happen to the flowering shrubs in my 16 years in Tolland or growing up in nearby Vernon. It's not just with elevation . Lower spots I've seen it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcwx Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 What does that have to do with feb temps? Maybe similar to grape vines? In the Finger Lakes, when temps dip below -10 below it could harm the buds. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/money/business/2014/02/06/finger-lakes-wine-vine-weather-damage/5264857/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back and look at some of the historical old snaps with multiple days with temps even colder then what you had in February. Try 4 days in a row.if anything lady winters sustained cold was more damaging then a brief cold shot.
