I wanted to do it before this weekend’s rain, but if it will end up being a waste, maybe I’ll wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrotary12 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I know you peeps in Connecticut are cutting grass already, but up here it still looks like mid January. Grass is barely starting the green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 Has anyone else had issues with their Rhody’s leaves all browning? When I break a limb, it’s still green, but leaves look brown and dead. On multiple bushes . I don’t know if they are dying or should I leave them and see what happens ?

Things have really greened here in the past few days so I could be mowing by the weekend or next week. You live in cool little snow globe up there.

Even here, still a couple weeks away from first cut. A large section of the shoreline was reclassified to Zone 7 in 2023. New Haven and West along the shoreline has always been the warmest part of the state but it's expanding east. Our state no longer has Zone 5B, which was in the northwest corner of the state and accounted for the coldest temperatures of -15 to -10°f. Most of Connecticut is now in Zone 6 with a large area along the shoreline in Zone 7. Zone 7 extends all the way south to parts of Virginia. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago There's a good chance I'll be doing the initial mow in Westboro on Sunday. I'll be at Pit2 on Saturday--looks like the weather won't allow for it there, though it might not be needed yet. It's a while behind Mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
