Just another top 10er. We mow and grill.

5 mins south of the course/hotel.

Oh nice, surprising. Overall, little past peak here, Reds really popped about a week ago. Normally Columbus day is peak-ish give or take a couple days. I think it was a little early this year.

Must have been a zoo on the Equinox toll road? Never disappoints though,except maybe tom and Monday..lol

It's almost always peak here in the valley (west slopes greens and east slopes of Taconics)Columbus weekend, so it normally works out well for the peepers. The SVT high plateau area down by Mitch is is past though. I have not been up there recently, but would guess the Stratton and elevated East Slopes are probably as well already.

Entire state of VT socked in with clouds..sounds about right.

23-24 had an interesting distribution here in SVT too. I ended up with 11" more than Mitch, despite him probably averaging 40-50" more per season and only 25 miles south of me. Very weird and probably low prob of that happening again.

Actually what is crazy is my sister and brother in law are literally next door neighbors with them, its farm country in western part of SVT. We were at their house yesterday, a sea of State Police and FBI as you can imagine. Obviously lots of speculation and theories going around. Horribly tragic and sad for sure. Its a well know family name that owns most of the land and has been in this area for generations.

Could be rust. I am seeing it in my lawn, but only the more shady section where the dew remains longer. Most of my lawn is sunny and will be prob be toast by the weekend if it doesnt rain this week. That has never happened in the 10 years I've been in VT, not even close really.

Only Sept 7th, but definitely has an early Oct vibe just going by how busy it is. Guess you can still do the "VT fall stuff" without any leaf peeping.

Honestly going with Scotts or Pennington isn't going to be that much cheaper I don't think. You could probably use a "contractors mix" for the cheapest option from Tractor Supply or somewhere like that, but you are going to get a lot of weed seeds and undesirable stuff in there. If you don't care about that really then maybe go that way. Otherwise price out Jonathan Green versus the Big Box store stuff and see what that actual cost difference is. Also looks pretty Steiny moving forward, seems like you have a big yard so would be hard to keep the stuff watered.

They have been around here in SVT for a few months..I want to say it was around $30 for a 4 pack at the place in town here.

Nice little drink...

60.8F with mod rain. Mitch and ineedsnow would be in summer heaven..lol Actually don't mind these type of days thrown in once in a while, especially with the dew fest this summer has been.

Fungus Identification can be really tricky. Could be brown patch, could be dollar spot, summer patch,pythium blight and others. Look to see if there are lesions on the leaf blades and what they look like. These fungus also effect different grass types. Brown patch only affects tall fescue really. I'm not sure if Kevin has Tall Fescue, he might have kentucky blue grass? Hard to tell from those pics, maybe it's a mix of grasses. I was going to say the same as SJones, doesn't look too bad and just monitor it. If it spreads like crazy then maybe think about an action step.
