tamarack Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yeah, my weeds, errr lawn, really greened up seemingly overnight. Even the understory in the woods seemed to explode. There always seems to be an infinite number of shades of green this time of year. Not just green. May is like a muted pastel version of October.

amarshall Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I've come to the conclusion that the owners of my home before me were organic gardners who lovef invasive groundcover. I'm dealing with Japanese knotwood in the beds and woods, Lilly of the valley in the beds and lawn and now it seems violets are spouting up everywhere. Violets suck.

At least they look nice, and luckily you don't have any kudzu....that stuff is nasty. Knotweed is horrible too though, the roots can go down 7-feet I believe.

mreaves Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Mowed the dandelion crop, also known as my lawn for the first time today. I'm not a lawn jockey like some on here but I am going to try to make some improvements to it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 We green. I love when two oaks grow together at the base. Hopefully yours reaches the outrageous size of the one that grows along my property line... you'd should see them. The base of the V is like a sequoia.

How about when 5 grow together, and it's right near your house so you have to have them wired together and you get a quote for $2,000 to have them taken down .

Yeah it's pretty cool, but it's concerning that it doesn't fall on the house not seen. It would take out our addition and my son's room. Not good. I've seen a few old trees around the hood. Some oak and what I believe is a silver maple? As much I complain about them, I do like tall majestic trees. Tough to find very old trees around here, it there are some.

backedgeapproaching Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Anyone have a hydrangea tree? Hoping it looks good. No, but a had a bunch of hydrangeas at my old place. Mostly ones called limelight, which get white flowers mid summer, then fade to reddish color in the fall. Do you know what type of tree hydrangea you got? I would guess limelight as a lot of nurseries sell those in tree form. If so it should look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Out of the camera view is a big patch of burned out/salt damaged grass next to the driveway. I think I only put some calcium chloride down once on a part where my mother in law parks, It is so dead and crisp there. Not sure how to fix that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then maybe some loam or new soil and seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
