Lava Rock

I never used grubex in the eight yrs we've lived here until this year. didn't know there is a difference between curative (contact) treatments vs preventative. I need curative at this point , but larvae will be soon transitioning to pupae than jap beetles which will lay eggs in late summer and start cycle over again. .

Major breakthrough in the neverending lawn saga....grubs. I've checked for these many times before but it was long after the damage was done and I saw none. I started raking a small section with my dethatcher and turned up a bunch of these fawkers. I had put down grubex about 6 wks ago too. Going to spread more tomorrow, but not sure why first treatment didn't work. Is it too late to try again? I've got this huge sense of relief finally knowing what did all the damage over the years. I suspected grubs couple years ago but like I said, never saw them, so thought it might be chinch bugs. Please tell me it's not too late in season to whack them again. .

Yep, not good for businesses anywhere this wknd .

When will they drop the reservation requirements? .

40.8f. freezing in the house .

Hopefully your dilutions are pretty high so the mab lasts awhile .

We operate out of small labs but I am always amazed how much disposable plastic is generated on a weekly basis. Wish it were recyclable. .

55F. Sitting on deck drinking double IPA with sweats on. Warmth was nice while it lasted. .

Moderna Moderna Warns New Waves of Covid-19 Are Coming https://finance.yahoo.com/m/5f0c28b0-c726-3822-9f0c-d72c86fe9bb1/moderna-warns-new-waves-of.html

A little cheap starter fert tonight

For my wife, it's not misunderstanding or anti-vax thinking. She's been a flight attendant for 30+ yrs and rarely gets sick. Her reasoning is she has a good immune sys coupled with the likelihood we both got covid in dec 2019, but never confirmed. I'd respect her thinking more if she just said she didn't feel comfortable with the potential unknown side effects, but to say "i have a good immune system" doesn't cut it for me and obviously not for a lot of people who got covid and died. I am a little nervous about her traveling abroad right now, but Greece is pretty strict and you still have to mask up. She said she's juts waiting a bit longer before getting vax'd. I asked her what's going to change by waiting. Didn't get an answer. Don't want to instill an argument

My wife is holding out for now. I really don't agree with her reasoning, but I have to respect it. She's off to Greece for 10days with her two girlfriends who are vaxed.

nice Hearthstone

Good point. Some of the dead areas on the lawn near the driveway have granite just below the surface.

Supposed to do out annual Mem day cycling ride out of Fryeburg, over Hurricane, up to Pinkham Notch, Gorham, then back through Evans Notch. If it's not wet, it'll probably be pretty chilly.

Time flies but I'm determined. Here's the funny thing, I threw down the same seed last Nov around the shed we had delivered and the grass is coming in pretty nice and it's all backfill and dirt. .

Unless the qpf continues to spread N, 0.3" projected through monday here is not going to do much. what's the drought monitor map look like these days?

Weekend sliding downhill .

Maybe, but how come other lawns around my hood look good and they don't irrigate .

0.28" here. Some ctg lightening, but little wind . .

Pretty meh so far .

no doubt. i'd really like to wash some of the pollen away, but i'm betting we get a lt to mod shwr. Probably <0.1"

Here's the 2019 report for that section of the property. Nothing limiting or excessive

This is why I'm frustrated. Look how bad last Fall's seeding looks now. The "good" pic was taken in Nov. The new stuff doesn't just go dormant. It literally dies away and I end up with bare spots again. It's just burning away...
