West side of the track will just be breezy rain. We need to plow this up the CRV.

My post was tongue-in-cheek anyway.

Josh's career peaked back when he was regularly posting here, but he's still making a pretty decent living for himself.

Did Josh have a satellite phone or something?

Yeah it's pretty insane how it all pretty much ends after Labor Day. We'll get another wave come leaf peeping time, but Masshole season is winding down.

yeah that's not eleanor. turtlehurricane was a weenie on eastern for years. he got his degree though. haven't seen him in years, but i mostly stay here.

Solar rad currently 0W...max only 287W. Wretched raw labor day of yore.

Should be our coolest high since 6/13 (59.6F). 61.6F off of 62.5F with -RZDZ lingering. 0.40" on the day. It's looked like 7pm basically all day.

62.1F -RA 0.35"

Almost noon and 59.7F with SHRA. Time for some cider.

It was close to painting some blue ptype in NW ME at 6z.

Nice drink up there. 59.5° and RA again.

59.7° 0.21” Waiting for the next batch

58.9° RA

I’m going to try growing some directly by seed in the backyard. I tried some small potted plants that were grown in large tree pots, but even those didn’t transplant well. I feel like anything with a huge taproot needs to be directly planted. The extra ones I’ll probably try planting out in the woods and see how many can grow with out getting dug up by rodents.

Check my edited post with link. Bark is a match too. Btw I still owe you shipping costs...haven’t forgotten.

I’m leaning black cherry. https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/prunus-serotina/

Nice before and after vid here.

But should u fertilize dead and/or dormant grass? I dropped one round in April and one in June. I have two more bags, bit stopped cause the lawn looked terrible and figured it would do nothing or stress it more No. I would probably do what Bob recommended. You could probably just broadcast it in after aerating. Weeeee

Okay...update on that plant I can’t figure out. Apparently one of the large trees out front is actually the parent tree to the others. It has berries that look like buckthorn, but I really don’t think that’s what it is. None of the smaller trees of it have berries. The large tree does have them higher up. All of the glossy buckthorn I have grows insane and puts out berries in the first year or two when they’re only a few feet high. The leaves look different too. I thought hackberry, but the leaves aren’t really a match. Does buckthorn grow as tall as the large tree in the picture is? Unknown tree a bit to the right of the large clump red oak. Bark of said tree in foregrund If you look closely you’ll see some of the branches from the tree with berries hanging off of them Comparison of leaves from a known glossy buckthorn and a branch from a smaller tree of the same species. Pics of common buckthorn look different from the leaves on the right as well.

Yeah...sounds like your grass, and even your weeds, are running out of “food”. You’d probably need to frequently fertilize it throughout the warm season to feed it without the addition of compost. It’s amazing what organic material can do to nutritionally starving plants. My plants that have been growing in composting wood chips for 2 years are growing amazing as the nutrients slowly feed in along with the beneficial fungi. I had a bunch of struggling potted plants that lit up after top dressing with that material and watering some fresh chicken manure into them. My front yard looks a little like yours. The zoysia out there is trying, but the soil out there is about as organic as a twinkie.
