Rain, rain and more rain.
You'd think with Mother's Day only a day removed, Mother Nature might cut us a break, and send a little warmth/sun our way, but not so.
Dreary, overcast, drizzle, cold - whatever you want to label is as it doesn't fit into most people's idea of spring.
April showers are to bring May flowers, aren't they? However, this year, April/May rain will only bring weed pain.
And as soon as the weather warms to consistent double digits you will see the massive wave of yellow invading the boulevards, sports fields and home lawns. It is unavoidable, and so is the inevitability all those weeds will germinate, blowing freely like a winter wonderland to find new homes to proliferate.
Sadly, the only options of control remain: Use Weed-B- Gon, hire a professional who will spray Fiesta, or pull the damn things out by the root - the only activity you can do in the rain.
There has also been an unusual amount of moss on all those over-saturated lawns and aerations have been challenging in the muck and mire. And if you've seeded your lawn, it may still be a week or two before you see germination. Yup, this year has been anything but a normal spring.
I don't mean to rain on your parade with all this...we've had enough rain already.
