Brian D Posted Tuesday at 04:24 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:24 PM Well, I looked at my modelling method, and it looks like the first half of June will be plagued by CAN HP. In fact, off n on all summer we will be dealing with this scenario. Remember how chilly it got in late Aug of last year? Well I'm expecting the same thing this year with another strong Fall shot after Labor Day. But no worries, there will be some nice, and very warm, stormy conditions in the mix.

Then we had them in effect for something like 3 weeks straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of dudes out there with their lawn tractors loving cutting lines in their lawn like it's a baseball field. I own a native plant nursery and probably 70% of my customers are women. Apologies on the OT. Boring af weather wise right now (and in the future apparently). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd plant wild flowers/shrubs too, and keep part lawn. Women love manicured lawns with beautiful gardens in the mix. As a landscaper for a few years, they really love to go wild with plants at cabins. Did a lot of work at sites like that. But in town, it's a little different. That's my experience.

The birds love the well kept lawn. Out here in the sticks if you have an overgrown landscape you will have all kinds of creatures trying to get into your home. I did plant plenty of native trees all throughout the yard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted 3 minutes ago Share Posted 3 minutes ago I used to fertilize regularly but no longer do. Just a little preen every now and then. Let nature be nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
