I did it a week ago, was away for a few days. I legitimately cant remember the last time I had to stop mowing to clean out the underside of the mower in august. My grass looks like its May.

Hoping to make a couple last batches of zucchini muffins tonight - they're my quintessential summertime treat. With the exception of tomatoes, most veggies are on their last legs as disease and pest pressure reach peak levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Yeah the bugs are a bit worse but still manageable and most things are still growing and doing ok. We are going out of town for 3 days though so it will be unattended... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Just felt a little bit of a cooler breeze out of the E. I think the front is finally through based on that and pressure rises at stations to the north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestHillWx Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Still humid, but a nice East wind. My squash took a beating in that TS last week. I’ll harvest what I can today, but plants are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dutchess County Dairy Committee took it over from 4H which is a little bit of a bummer, but at least it still goes towards local ag and not like Dairy Queen or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they still have them. If one goes to the DC fair they must get one. I’ve sunk enough money in the beer tent next to the music stage there that I think the vollies were able to get a new rig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Is it too soon to discuss the various leathery worn out shades of green the leaves have taken on and the early droppers that have littered parts of the lawn?
