fsu_wxgirl Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 thanks. I've never seen nor heard anything like that. Not sure if they exist down in Virginia. Mayapple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcwx Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 thanks. I've never seen nor heard anything like that. Not sure if they exist down in Virginia. It's native to North America. Deer won't eat it. It's not a weed. It'll die back by mid-summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Flowering trees are peaking here in the PHL suburbs. Cherry blossoms, bradford pears, magnolias, are all peak bloom, as are the forsythias. Most other trees are budding. Grass growing and almost time for the first cut in the Bryn Mawr/Villanova area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg ralls Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I cut mine today. Only really needed it in a few patches, but those patches were looking a bit thick, and I was afraid to wait until next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainshadow Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Tombo, They did aerate the greens at Ramblewood recently... Nothing like Mount Laurel. A couple of their bunkers still had water in them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they definitely have some drainage issues in there bunkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsu_wxgirl Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I guess this is kind of a Lawn and Garden question...I want to buy my husband a gas grill as a "baby shower" gift. My knowledge of grills is limited basically just knowing they heat up and cook my food. Came across one on Sears website that is in my price range (really hoping to keep it under $250). I welcome any recommendations y'all might have. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_07123680000P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sell new stuff that might have 'dings'. I've found that cheaper grills tend to fall apart and rust out. Apparently food grease is pretty caustic. That place has higher end grills at reduced prices due to minor damage. Had my truck exhaust work done next door and they seemed to have a decent selection that weren't too expensive when I took a peek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslotted Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I haven't had time to look at run after run of any model lately, so I don't have the context, but I looked at the 12z GFS today, and it looks like we will have some cool shots (for April) over the next few weeks. I was going to start a veggie garden project with my daughter this weekend, should we hold off on planting, or are we out of the woods wrt frost/freezing? I did see that the NOAA/NWS "kicked off" the growing season this past Monday, but I thought I'd check with you guys/gals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lettuce, peas, etc would be ok. The former really dont do much until night time temps stay above 50. I dont plant them til early May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainshadow Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 wow all these courses are late, must be a personnel thing with public courses. Yeah its pretty much done this time of the year, its not later this year because of the March we had. Its likely the reason full in season rates dont start for most courses here til May. I came within two feet of a hole in one at the 179 yard par 3 yesterday. Its a nice hole (beside the shot), you have a lake (ok pond) with a beach on it to the right off an elevated tee box with a view of the new hotel they built there last decade. I peaked too early this golfing season, its all downhill from here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tony...Do you think it's OK to start from seed at that time, or would we be better served getting some plants from a garden center? We weren't organized enough to do seedlings this time (she's 4, and her younger brother would have certainly destroyed anything we would have started anyway), so those are my two options. We are starting small this year with one 4x4' raised bed, and we'll go from there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I peaked too early this golfing season, its all downhill from here.... I think it also has to do with that its a public course. Here we had everything aerated before late march. Members pay top dollar to belong here and they don't want to fit aeration cores and machines when they are golfing. Also, our season begins the first weekend of april. Btw, nice picture. Looks like a cherry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Trees overall still pretty bare looking in Monmouth County. Flowering trees still all full bloom, with the exception of the kwanzan cherries, which probably will be out in 1 week (near normal). Forysthias still peak. Maples have red buds and there are a couple species with green buds out. Oaks are starting to bud, but overall, at least 2 weeks from leaf out. Looks about normal this year. April temps have been near to slightly above normal after a chilly March. Usually the first week of May is the major leaf out time frame here. In the PHL area, by contrast, most trees are light green/hvy budding, and likely at least 1 week ahead of Monmouth. This extends nwd to about Hightstown, so Ray's parents' area is probably pretty heavily budded, on track for a leaf out in the next 10-14 days.

Starting them from seed it will probably take you 4 to 6 weeks before you can plant them. I went from starting from seed to just buying the plants outright from Burpees (maybe its not too late, they sell them in 3 packs). The garden center vegetables are not necessarily disease resistant.
