Bring the downriggers up a few feet and throw some Chum. Not a lot biting this morning.

Time to throw a buzzbait or Whopper Plopper and piss them off into biting.

The Scotts Starter with Weed Prevent is working wonders. All the crab grass and dandelions are coming up white and dead. Even turning the clover and chickweed yellow so I'm assuming it will be dead soon. Going to over seed again in a couple weeks when soil is more consistently in the upper 50/low 60 range. Still a rookie but the more and more I read the more and more I realize the issues with Scotts grass seeds. 50% seed and 50% coating. Trying some Jonathan Green with a similar fescue/rye/bluegrass blend.

100 foot tall white pine in the woods behind my house snapped off 20 feet up, it was 2 feet in diameter.  

Any good gusts down there? Only 20-25mph gusts here thus far. 

Definitely going to have to put more seed down towards the end of the month with more starter/weed prevent. Also going with a clover lawn infront of the wall where the small pines are and the upper right corner near the road. Next project will be all crushed stone on the far side of the driveway for my other parking spot and around our raised veggie beds (not pictured). March was all about grub-ex and moss control (raked a lot of dead grubs and moss out) then aerated and two apps of fert given how poor and compacted the soil was. 

As much as it is a beautiful sight on radar I hope folks get power back ASAP. Those more rural areas could be out a while. 

47*, .13" so far. Want some howlers later. Bring em down!

Thanks--I wasn't aware they had pre-emergents that didn't impact grass.  That sounds like a great idea.  Do you put that down prior to seeding?

 

 

I did. It is not a broad spectrum pre-m though so it depends on the types of weeds you have.

Sorry for the dumb questions here.....

I want to overseed my lawn.  I know I need to rake it.  Do I put down fertilize a couple days before I seed?  Same time as seeding?  After seeding?

 

Should I use a starter fertilizer even though it's already established?

 

Thanks for the help!

Depends on how thick/thin the lawn is imo. Fertilizing in spring also encourages weed growth so given how thin my lawn is I also went with Scotts Starter w/ Weed Preventer. Has a pre-emergent that also allows new grass seed to grow. If it is well established I would throw down a fertilizer but make sure it doesn't have a pre-emergent in it.

Slow and steady. When we bought it to so far this year.

Overseeded the thin spots and hoping they fill in a bit.

Is it too early to throw some seed down?

No real cold weather coming in. Check your soil temps. I like low 50s, just takes longer to germinate. I'd rather go early and have less germination but lasting than later in spring and have it all burn up in July. 

 Already did a moss treatment and overseeded a ton yesterday. I'm actually surprised with how much I'm starting with this spring and how green it is. 

We remember lol

Dumping now.  Moderate snow, big flakes. 
0.5”

34F but at this rate it is sticking to pavement now. 

Radar is looking mixy up the river valley. A few hundred feet might be a difference maker. 

2" down. Saggy trees

Leaning towards a positive bust here. Not 18" when 3-4" is expected like December but I can see 6+ in Hippy Valley north of Springfield. 

Thumpin....biggest flakes I've seen since a 4" an hour day at Pico.

Consistent fat flakes the past hour. Not much sticking yet other than the lawn. Why is no one discussing sun angle yet? lol

Love to see ya’ll coming around to the HRRR as a tool.  I used it a bunch this winter, no one seemed to like it, didn’t gain much traction lol.

It did very well with the first December storm and a few others with R/S lines.

30.2*. Hoping for a thump.

LOVE  the prancing moose emblem. Volvos > Subarus in the snow after my wife and I have owned one of each. Wouldn't mind a V90 with a 3" lift on it one day for a winter whip lol

Finally some good cold. I think this is maybe the 6th day all winter we have had lows in the single digits. 

Nice! Only got another coating prior to the rain. Was not expecting this wind. Have some 2-3" limbs down in the front yard.

I'll take the over. 

Grass, woods, driveway is white. Some big fat cotton balls have been falling here and there. Loving it.

Everything is white again. Guess it is something.
