    Anyone have an idea why an azalea would die suddenly? i bought and planted in early spring and it flowered and has looked fine. Literally over the last 3 days the entire thing save for a few green branches has turned browned and dropped off. No idea why. Other one on the other side of the stairs is fine

    Done trying for grass for now. Some good, some bad. Will get some more loam and seed in the fall. Planted 6 false cypress today and a decent size limber pine that I got for half off. Looks like a nice full tree that grows about 25’ tall.

    Just take it one at a time... start with easy ones to free up space for the more problematic ones. Takes some practice but I’m sure you could probably do most of them yourself over time.

    Yeah I’d skip the willow unless you have a gigantic property. I’ve had several people tell me absolutely no dice with a well.

    beds on either side of stairs... new planted tree... some grass and a lot of weeds.... lots of work too do.

    Got a bunch of phlox ground cover for 50% off today.. nice way to spruce up the beds with some color. Mulched the beds out front today. And planted two 6-8’ tall flowering peach trees

    Grass popping up all over as of this morning. 11 days after planting

    Thanks for the responses... I figured cool weather may slow it down. Still nada as of today... hopefully a bit warmer tomorrow and we’ll see something pop

    Planted grass out front last Saturday... weeds popping but no sign of grass... how long does it usual take to start seeing anything?

    Slow but steady progress on my disaster here. Got about half the front yard loamed and seeded... more loam to come Tuesday and will have entire front yard seeded by middle of this week. Planted a few dwarf Alberta spruce, azaleas and some ground cover type stuff as well.
  11. TauntonBlizzard2013
    That’s a lot of loam. I’ll be doing my whole yard with about 25... granted it’s only a quarter acre lot... but still
  12. TauntonBlizzard2013
    I don’t really care for mulch either. I just spread several yards of p stone under the deck and along the back of the house to help with drainage and to form a base for an eventual patio. Expensive, but looks great. Considering using stone as an alternative to mulch once I get the grass down and start doing some planting’s. Mulch loses its appeal quick... and needs to be done every single year.

    I’m throwing down like 4-6” of loam and am going to seed the shit out of it and see what happens.
  14. TauntonBlizzard2013
    So the guy across the street used some sort of fertilizer today, so I’m going to talk to him to see what he uses and how deep his well is (guessing they are all similar).
  15. TauntonBlizzard2013
    Ha thanks man. Been kind of a crazy year... but sometimes things just work out I guess.
  16. TauntonBlizzard2013
    Can lawn fertilizer be used as normal with a well? Or is there something special I should buy?

    Just bought a house as many of you know. Yard is an absolute disaster. It’s a new build, and the sellers wanted nothing to do with landscape. Will do before and after pictures. Phase 1 this weekend is putting stone down behind the house and under the deck

    A storm like yesterday is a prime example of how you will get a much lower number if you just stick a yardstick in the ground at the end of the event. Your losing several inches at least. Same concept measuring and clearing once every six hours too. Yesterday your probably losing a few inches of whatever fell when you take a reading at 6 hour intervals. Sucks because it makes the storm seem less impressive.

    We have the Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant here. Huge perk of living in Taunton. Ive lived here my whole life (24 years) and have lost power maybe a dozen times? And never lost it for more than a few hours. during this 3 storm blitz I’ve lost it once for 25 minutes.

    Going with 18.1” total here... bob was about 17” and Matt (butterfish) also in that area. Feel good about it as we are all usually close. this has been an odd winter for sure. Heart of winter was a furnace basically, but we’ve had some good events on the front and back end. looks like I’ve recorded 16 measurable events in the snow table.. most obviously small, but I’d be curious if there is an average number of measurable snows we get around here per season
  22. TauntonBlizzard2013
    Yeah... implying someone is lying is kind of a low blow. I guess that’s easier than admitting error in where heaviest sat up?
  23. TauntonBlizzard2013
    The last inch in that quick band that rolled through around 8 was pure see through fluff. rarely see that here... almost unheard of in March. I expect the same if the band to the West makes it in
  24. TauntonBlizzard2013
    Not ready to go final here yet. That band tint the west could drop another inch or two if it makes it here
  25. TauntonBlizzard2013
    Hard to believe we wasted 4-5 in subsistence getting light sawdust and still saw 18”. This storm was legit
