What year was it recently where everyone lost a bunch of apples? 2016 maybe? Not sure of the year but remember it. Looking at my records, my last freeze in 2016 was on 4/21. In 2020 the last freeze was 5/14 and it was on 5/15 in 2023, maybe one of those years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Damn. We bailed on our plans for today and it looks like the weather will hold until at least lunchtime. I hate when I do shit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxEngine Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Nice to see the ground not completely dried out for once. Been awhile. Now if we can string together a few 70 and sunny days maybe itll feel like a real spring lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 My ornamental grasses starting growing in the heat of two weeks ago only to be shocked by the hard freeze last week. As a result it all looks like shit currently. The lawn is coming along decently though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of rain burnt spots out late last year, and they were already suffering to begin with. I hope the seed and aeration will help…i refuse to rip it all up and replant it and im not using and weed killer or shitty fertilizer. Too many pets around and its just grass at the end of the day.

Good luck. Seed it now before the weeds take over. We have a cool period now with some rain coming this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Don't mow for a few more weeks and it'll go to seed. Harvest the seeds and put them in a paper bag for a few days then scatter them the day before it rains. If it's already growing on your land successfully it will continue. Buying grass seed is way too expensive anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My soil has been above 55 for over a week now, the top layer was frosty that last cold day but since its been fine. If i wait too much longer i worry that the grass wont take before our usual july dry heatwave thatll cook it. Taking a chance but i dont want to spend hundreds or thousands just for grass either lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted 54 minutes ago Share Posted 54 minutes ago Didn't make freezing this morning, 35.6 for the low, so I guess April 21st will hold as last freeze for the spring. I can't remember a year where 23 degrees was our last freeze and no freeze after that, pretty extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember a year where 23 degrees was our last freeze and no freeze after that, pretty extreme. Low of 35 for this morning. Agreed that this seasons last free is 4/21 and 24 for me but it isn't the coldest last freeze in my records. 2007 will still hold that record with a last freeze of 22 on 4/11.
