  1. We need a before picture before we congratulate you on your lawn growing skills. Looks really good now though.
  2. Just pulled the first tick of the year off my leg, must have just got there, it wasn't attached yet. I sprayed around the perimeter of the house yesterday with Demon and treated the lawn with the Bayer product. Also got a new Seresto collar for the dog, still I got one.
  3. I heard people calling in on the radio said they were going for $2,500, is the girl that good? I'd sell them too, no one's worth that much.
  4. I have that problem when I try to post pics from my phone, is there a way to resize on the phone?
  5. Oh yeah, took care of that. Freeze warnings up there tonight, would have been a cold morning on the boat.
  6. We drove 4 1/2 hours to Oswego to fish on Lake Ontario and they cancelled both days due to wind. Cost me a night at the hotel and $60 in gas.
  7. I planted some a few years ago, they do grow like weeds, not sure if it was 4-6 feet but it was quick. I planted 6 burning bushes too, they really grow fast. Two years ago I cut them down to 3 feet high, they're already 7 feet high this year.
  8. My brother in law got a mama with 3 cubs on one of his game cameras Sunday.
  9. I always prefer an 18 hole course over 9, no matter how nice the 9 are.
  10. I would say based on what I see in my area over 90% of new homes are built with central ac now, percentage might even be higher overalll. The high priced homes it's 100%.
  11. My sister bought one but needs two batteries to do the whole lawn.
  12. Just got mine done, it took an hour and 45 minutes and even got a start on my tan.
  13. What he says is true but the problem I had with it one year is I had a large section of some species of grabgrass that used to clog and bog down my lawn tractor, I used to call it gorilla grass. Thankfully I planted regular grass one year and it never came back.
  14. The nice thing about that tool is you don't have to bend over and you can pull the weed and toss it into your wheelbarrow all in one motion. First year I got it I yanked about 200 dandelions out and it never bothered my back.
  15. I bought a weed puller at HD, works well for getting the whole root out, I yanked out about 100 of them in my lawn. I think I paid #30 for the tool. I just go around with my wheelbarrow, yank them out throw them in the wheelbarrow and dump the load in the woods. WaLensee 39 in.

  16. Anyone have a battery powered lawn mower? I bought one today, love it. I do most of my lawn with my lawn tractor but need a small one for edges and some other spots. More powerful than I thought and its nice and quiet.
  17. I'm hoping to do mine tomorrow if it finally dries out.
  18. It's great when that happens, keeps the wife on her toes.
  19. Last weekend was a good time to put down your fertilizer and seed, easy week to take care of it.
  20. My cousin lives in Southern New Jersey near a swampy area of the ocean. Every year the turtles come up to her neighborhood and bury their eggs in her yard.
  21. I did the same, have a ton of weeds already so I put the kibosh on them.
  22. They must, Chicopee does, and their electric rate is similar to Templeton. There are lots of homes in Chicopee with electric heat because it's cheaper than oil. Most of the time, electric heat hurts the sale of a house but not in Chicopee. I have National Grid but signed on with a different provider with a rate much cheaper than National Grid, I knocked over $100 off my monthly bill.
