Bodhi Cove Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 ^ In the Tahoe Basin, Squaw Valley ski resort has seen so much snow it plans to keep its slopes open until least July 5. In May alone, Squaw recorded 37 inches (94 centimeters). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi_sky Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Thank you oh rain gods for being so gracious toward me! Thank you for your .0001 inches of rain thus far on this supposedly slight risk, no risk, maybe, maybe not rainy, could maybe not rain today day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodhokie Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 This is my first year with a house and I just moved in after the spring plant and the lawn's full of creeping charlie. Those yard nuts that I know exist in here, when should I start thinking of applying my herbicides and planting grass seed (I'm thinking of applying seed around labor day).?

nw baltimore wx Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Just my opinion, but you can spray weed killer now on any warm, calm day. I'd use a one or two gallon tank sprayer and the concentrated Ortho Weed-b-gon that you have to mix yourself. Just be sure to get the stuff that is safe for lawns and does not say "weed and grass killer." Creeping Charlie is pretty stubborn and will probably take a couple of applications, but you can get rid of it. Aerating (if possible) and seeding around Labor Day is perfect for this area. If you get plenty of sun, I'd go with a tall fescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does well in both semi deep shade and full sun and seems tolerant of Heat/cold and dry/wet conditions. Also like the look of the carpet it lays. Father in law recommended it 4-5 years ago and haven't switched since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmethesnow Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Back at our trailer in the mountains for 4 days and it looks as if the weather will once again cooperate. Spent 5 days up here 2 weeks ago and I don't think we have seen such a great stretch of weather in the 4 years we have been coming here. Besides 2 quick hits of rain we pretty much had all sun with temps in the mid 70s to 80. Temps at night were in the low to mid 60s which is great sleeping weather. It was a far cry from what we were used to where we were seeing rain 75+% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grass seed I put down seems to be struggling even with the copious amounts of water I give it. I have a lawn company that comes and sprays every 6 - 8 weeks. I'll ask them about it when they come and do their aeration and seeding this fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know many don't have the luxury of doing this but I have found for myself that instead of drowning the seed and young grass in the morning that watering twice daily, morning and early afternoon seems to work the best. Especially on those hot dry days where the surface can dry out quickly and kill the fragile grass before it has a chance to establish any meaningful root system. I found this out the hard way. A couple of times no less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of times no less. This grass is on the curb on the other side of the sidewalk in front of my house. Unfortunately, the sprinkler system doesn't reach out that far. So, I have to manual water it. But I try to water once in the morning and once in the evening before sunset. The grass under the sprinkler system is fine of course. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just mentioned that because I believe you said something about reseeding again later in the summer when you might have to actually deal with heat and dry. Most people put straw down which helps to mitigate the soil drying out which you probably are already doing. The two times I got burned I did have straw down and I was watering twice daily. But like you my second watering was in the evening. But what happened was the heat and dry killed the couple of day old grass in a matter of hours around noon into the early afternoon. Talk about a grown man crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about a grown man crying. Yeah. I finally learned to apply lawn soil and straw, which is hard to find except on Amazon. That 90 degrees stretch in May wasn't helpful. I'll come back in the fall and get it done right now that I know what seed to get and how to help it grow. I'll put it down after the lawn service aerates it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a lot of good advice has been given, but one last thing I have used and I really feel it helped my fescue seed germinate and do better it a product that holds water and eventually breaks down adding a tiny amount of nitrogen to your lawn. I like it better than straw. It is typically sold at Lowes and Home Depot, see below 10 lb. Fairway Formula Seed Success Biodegradable Mulch with Fertilizer Overview This product is a combination starter fertilizer and seeding mulch that helps maintain moisture in the planted area so seeds germinate successfully. The paper mulch is completely biodegradable. It is combined with fertilizer, a wetting agent and special tackifier that helps keep mulch in place to protect the seed while it germinates - even on rainy, windy days or when seeding a sloped area. Grass seed is not included - you choose the grass seed of your choice. . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I'm going to use the weenie code book and say since yesterday's "90%" rains missed us to the east, then tomorrow night and Thursday's projection of the 95 corridor getting whiffed while NPZ-land gets the goods will be wrong. It'll all shift east again and we will overachieve this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Uh oh folks! ANOTHER massively WET summer may be in store for the Mid Atlantic! Need a break from the relentless rains? Come see us in warm, dry Texas. All of these weather anomalies in the Mid Atlantic - They have nothing to do with The Matrix. This is Climate Change. It will continue. It will increase with time. The storms down here in Texas are changing a little as well. They are getting stronger. A chinaberry tree hit the side of my moms house a few days ago during an electrical storm. We had 66 mph wind gusts and horizon to horizon lightning for at least 2 hours. There were many cloud to ground strikes. I am definitely not in Kansas anymore, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
