Soaking rains, wet snow, thunderstorms, strong winds, and cold miserable drizzle, are conditions that have plagued us since the beginning of April. It's nothing new, yet it seems, this April is packing more precipitation than normal.
While the lawns are soggy and oversaturated, the grass still loves all the liquid attention, and most lawns are on, or at, the cusp of emerald and deep forest green already.
The grass is growing, and although lawn companies are finishing clean-up, they are not yet cutting lawns.
With warmer weather and sunshine sure to appear as early as next week, there is another concern soon to be on the homeowner's mind---weeds, and plenty of them. Those invasive species everyone loves so much are set to pop in ubiquitous numbers virtually overnight, triggering panic in all who can't stand the slightest emergence of yellow damaging their curb appeal. Again, this is nothing new, but memories are short.
With Ontario bylaws in effect, it is a never-ending battle between the homeowner and weed eradication.
So, the next time you hear 4/20, don't just think of getting high---get prepared. The war for your lawn is about to begin...again.
