Looking forward to cooler days. Planted a fall garden recentrly; nothing germinating yet, so that's frustrating. I'm new to this, so any ideas would be appreciated. Some of my annuals look pretty sad, too.

Dog days of Summer

Well I don't know about the rest of you but I am barely hanging on. This heat is killing me and a few things planted outside. Our grass has never looked so bad. I talked with TJ, our Ryan Lawn & Tree lawn expert, and he told me that the outbreak of brown patch is the worst he has seen in 20 years. I have been watering my annuals twice daily but they still look awful. I'm tempted to pull everything out of the pots I have planted and wait a couple of weeks to see if this heat pattern breaks.

Rain, rain go away

I just emptied the rain gauge and it had almost 4 inches in it. That would mean that we have had close to 7.5 inches of rain so far this week. No need to water. More rain in the forecast for this weekend. UGH!

Covered in catkins

So, is everything is your garden, lawn, driveway, porch, patio (you get the idea) covered with Oak catkins? It is that brown tassel looking stuff that is everywhere. What a pain! I remember last year we swept up a pile that was unbelieveably huge. Of course since we've had all this rain it is going to be more difficult to get rid of. What a mess! Unfortunately the Oak is not the only culprit. Others include poplars, chestnuts, walnuts and hickories. Believe it or not the catkin, also referred
