Since we're now discussing which month is the most boring weather month, I guess the heat thread is now done. Heat and dews are the most boring of any weather event. Bar none.

91/69. Numbers 91 and 69 of why summer sucks.

Gross morning. 74/68. LOL at people attributing a shark attack to global warming. With Maine's colder water, there are both fewer sharks and fewer swimmers. A winning recipe for few enoucnters. While rare, I did see that they had caught an 18' white back in '96. Harpswell is close to Pit2, only an 18 mile drive. Probably half that as the crow flys.

No out of region posters allowed.

Can we start a shark thread?

That's less than 20 miles from Pit 2. I want you to know that.

Glad we don't live there.

90/66 here at mi casa

70 at mi casa in worcester.

Can we start a new coronavirus thread?

It’s an 83* scorchah here at Pit2.

Sprinkler getting it done.

I had rented one from Taylor rental.....pretty much a one-and-done deal when I needed it.

I rented a lawn edger for the weekend. It did a pretty good job on the front walkway, probably added close to a foot of width and I didn't break any pavers in the process. The edge around the city sidewalk is a different story. The yard had really spilled onto the side walk so while the edge did a fairly good job at separating cement from the yard, I now need to go back through and clear the overgrowth that is sill on the sidewalk. The funny thing is i used a snow shovel to pick up the stuff that l used the blower for, and for clearing the sidewalk, I'm going to try using an ice scraper. I didn't need these in January and February, but Memorial Day weekend? Break out the winter equipment.

I went to buy a blower for my post-mowing clean up. I ended up coming back with a nice back-pack blower instead. I'm ready for fall clean-up.

Thanks--timing notwithstanding, does a broad-leaf fertilizer work as well?

Pictures are better than reality.

I had used some starter fertizer (I had overseeded in the back) over a month ago. The back in particular has a lot of leafy crap growing in it. So, I was thinking some type of weed/feed might do the trick. Or some broad-leaf weed stuff. I think there's a mix of crap I'm trying to rid. Forutnatley, I don't think crabgrass is an issue.

Thanks....bummer I'll need to wait a couple more weeks before I do the front. I'll be good on the back in any case.

how much time do you need to wait between fertilizer treatments? I'd like to get some weed control down, but don't want to harm the lawn in the process. TIA.

They don't have any "boys in blue". Instead, they have "the girls at the Blue."

can we pin the lawn thread?

Given the number of weeds I have, I'm sure it will handle some of them!

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?

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!
