Big waste of money is what it is. Poor topsoil and no irrigation. Weeds took over late last summer and think we had some grub damag Parts of my front look like yours. I dumped a ton of dwarf white clover all over the area before the recent rains. I’m hoping it’ll take off and improve the soil over time. If it takes off I may add more clover and grass seed before the winter pack settles in.

69/62 Overcast A bit chilly out there with the breeze.

More 90s for Freak and Phin.

Yup. Corn ftl

Missing the best cells, but should still get a shower. Hopefully it’s enough to cool it off.

This one has more legs. Maybe another 2-3 day big heat shot for NNE and then repeat with a trough nosing into the region?

Another wizzy insect thread. Can we at least post something more relevant like kuchera maps?

lol. $15/mo more for this crap. BET, CMT, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, TV Land, and VH1.

I remember when the euro had 100° for today.

Plastic rain advisory? https://www.wired.com/story/plastic-rain-is-the-new-acid-rain/

Encourage red squirrels? I swear, as soon as I made it impossible for the squirrels to get my bird seed they all left and the chippies moved in.

Nice...that may be it. Looks like it's native so maybe I'll let it grow under the apple tree and see what the flowers eventually look like.

I have a lot of sapsucker damage on my larger fruit trees and willow. The willow has some yellowing leaves and the crabapple is suffering crown dieback. Any tips on how to deter them with responsible methods? Does the cd hanging from a branch trick really work? I’ve never noticed them on the suet (just the cother common peckers), but should I take the suet down? I know Gene has some kind of product on one of his trees that seals the wounds of the tree. It didn’t appear to be sticky either like the products I see listed on Amazon. I really don’t want to put something on the trees that will stick to their feet. There’s so much of the trees affected that wrapping them in hardware cloth or burlap isnkt feasible either. Any recommendations?

I would think never fertilize a stressed plant...even grass. But you probably know more than me wrt lawns.

Anyone know how well white clover will grow in very sandy soil? I was thinking of overseeding parts of the front with it to fix some nitrogen in the soil. We've had some areas of topsoil almost completely erode out there, but I'm not doing a big fix. I figure the clover will double as a forage for the chickens.

ID'd this as yellow sweet clover today.

I'm still struggling with this one. The stalk looks like pokeweed, but not the leaves. I keep bouncing around giant ragweed, mugwort, and hog weed, but nothing quite matches it. edit...think I'm leaning giant ragweed.

Anyoneknow what this is growing under my apple tree? The leaves have me stumped.

I thank your grandfather for his part in helping me have the freedoms I have today.

All he had to say is that he would never kneel, but he respects the right of others to do it if they feel it's the best way to convey their message. My hunch is he had good intentions, but worded it damn poorly...and he obviously can't relate to what black people have gone through for the better part of 2 centuries in this country.

It blows my mind that athletes even open their mouths on issues like this these days.
