Dianthus barbatus (Sweet William) Remy

If so, your best bet would be a pre-emergent. Polygonum pensylvanicum is an annual and could be prevented from sprouting. Everything (that I can think of) that is commonly called monkey grass is perennial, and so would not be affected by a properly applied pre-emergent.

Neonicotinoids like imidacloprid are useless against cottony cushion scale and some other scale. In fact, it is counter indicated since it affects its main biological control. Over here, pyriproxifen and spirotetramat are recommended together with oils depending on the type of scale. These are growth inhibitors and not knock down insecticides. If going for the organophosphates it is better to use chlorpyrifos but I know it is not available for home and garden use in the US.

"Amazon does is to tell you if you have already purchased the book" Just an FYI that Amazon only tells you if you bought a particular version of a book. If another version comes out, it doesn't tell you. I've run into that several times. If a book sounds familiar, I usually go to my content and search for it to see if I have an earlier version. In my case, I have the Kindle Voyage -- precursor to the Kindle Oasis. I bought it in 2014. It has both auto-brightness and adaptive display. Auto-brightness changes the brightness depending on the ambient light based on what you say you like for brightness. Adaptive brightness then gradually dims the brightness as your eyes adjust. I was skeptical about adaptive, but it works pretty well. Sometimes it does dim a bit too much, but not often. It also has page turn buttons that can be turned off if you don't like them -- I like them. I like that I can read in bed and not bother my DH with a light. I had the Kindle Keyboard 2, but it stopped holding a charge after a couple of years. I also have a Kindle Fire HD 7" that I use as a tablet. It works fine for me since I don't use them much. (I'm not a big fan of tablets -- I prefer an actual keyboard and larger screen). I'm not a fan of Apple products -- they minimize the amount of customization you can do and I customize EVERYTHING to the hilt. so they don't work for me. (I tried a Mac and hated the limitations.) We got my 85-year old mom a 10" Kindle Fire HD b/c she likes to read the newspaper online and the Fire works better than the e-readers for that. She also uses it as a tablet and hasn't complained about it. It's been especially helpful for her now, during COVID-19, as well as when she had a knee replaced a couple of years ago. I got the "reading gene" from her -- she's always been an avid reader! (She's into historical fiction/romance, I'm into Science Fiction and some Fantasy.)
