ski MRG Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Cool, let's agree on the Ranch. It's 2 hrs for me but I have family near by and can make a trip of it. It's about 90mins for Joe, he'll have to suck it up. Let's work on a date and get it planned. Last week in June is good for me, that Tues or Wed?? Most any day can work for me provided I have enough advance warning. Probably about 1 hour for me. The Ranch sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Not that my grass comes close to rivaling the golf course lawns so many of you have, but I must say that the rain and cutting at the highest setting has really done wonders for what I've got to work with here. Even in a densely shaded area that I cleared (raking decades of old leaves away in the process), a little seed and a little lime have done enough to show some good progress. In fact, dropped a second round of seed on it yesterday to help fill in any missing areas (not sure if that's wise, detrimental, or a waste of grass seed). Hopefully will have good weather and time to mow on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 That's right by the woods..and you can see the damage the chipmunks have caused (holes/tunnels) Yeah, same here in the backyard. Several tunnels which means numerous chipmunks not a problem yet but it could become one. I caught a chipmunk in our garage a few months ago on a glue pad.

Mr Torchey Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Dianthus Barbatus (sweet william) one of my favorites really popping in the gardens now at the house............meadow daisies are out, shastas next week. One of the best years I can ever remember for perennial gardens. Tomatoes are looking awesome, basil, german and lemon thyme look fantastic, rosemary still behind last year we could use a little heat for the herbs, they love it hot!!!

nzucker Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Everything has exploded. Veggies are going nuts. Hopefully some tomatoes by early July. Yeah, I have a few fruits on my Cherry Tomatoes. They should be ripe in 2 weeks or so, very early for these parts. Consistent sunshine and temperatures in the 80s is allowing the garden to advance faster than normal...my peas are also setting fruits, second round of arugula/mixed lettuce should be ready in about a week. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
