    Can anyone tell me what the heck is going on here? The taller tree is a false cypress and I’ve already trimmed a bunch of browning branches off it and you can see it looks like the whole tree has it. The smaller one is a dwarf Alberta that’s been in the ground since April and is suddenly showing showing signs of browning. False cypress has been in since early July.

    Maybe? I’d like to think I didn’t overdue it... but anything is possible I suppose. Here it is.

    Watered basically daily unless we received rain

    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
  11. TauntonBlizzard2013
    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.
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  17. 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).
  18. TauntonBlizzard2013
    Ha thanks man. Been kind of a crazy year... but sometimes things just work out I guess.
  19. TauntonBlizzard2013
    Can lawn fertilizer be used as normal with a well? Or is there something special I should buy?
  20. TauntonBlizzard2013
    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

    About a foot here

    Pounding sleet with snow mixed in Duxbury
  23. TauntonBlizzard2013
    Also, should be a good bit of melting when this pulls out today
  24. TauntonBlizzard2013
    Made a decision to drive to Duxbury early. Left at midnight. Roads are atrocious... looks like 3” down at least here. Hard to imagine school being held with the peak 3-7am
  25. TauntonBlizzard2013
    Gotta drive from Taunton to Duxbury... thinking of leaving at 2am... might I miss the brunt that early?
