I am an Idiot. Round-Up
Comments (5)If you're on the Wasatch front, it's probably too late to seed and hope for the grass to last through the summer. I know it snowed Monday, but it's going to be June in a couple of days, which means we're going from winter straight to summer. On the bright side, you've probably got a KBG lawn, so it'll spread to fill in the bare spots (unless they're more than half the lawn). If you've still got bare spots in the fall, you can overseed then. If the dead spots bother you too much, you can buy some sod, but you'll need to cut it up in small pieces to plant it in the dead spots, so that'll be a hassle (but maybe necessary if you have big dead spots). If you're in southern Utah, you've probably got a warm season lawn, so you're coming into the perfect time of year to seed....See Moremy wand is rusting, i am such an idiot!
Comments (119)LOL! Come on, be ornery! Once I found the little froggie, I realized that your pic wasn't THAT blurry, FTM. It was my sense of size (things may appear larger than they are) that had me thinking the leaf-with-eyes was the mack daddy frog. :D It's great to hear they love crickets, since I moved some pots the other day, and found a multitude of them, large and small. The frogs have been singing their hearts out all over the yard, and I know they come up to where the crickets were, since that's where my watering can is. :D I love yummy tummies!

Comments (13)I feel sorry for the kids not being able to play basketball anywhere in the vicinity of 'my' garden... I have a list of every rose I grow... everyday I go out and see what has opened, then I come in and mark the date on the list... it's funny how the same rose will bloom within a couple of days of when it bloomed last year... Up until the very first rose opened, I was pretty bummed... I mean tulips and daffodils and phlox are ok and all, hyacinths smell great, but they just aren't the same as the roses... Now the iris and daylilies are starting and I just practically ignore them in my eagerness to check out the roses... I cut roses to bring inside today and I can't walk by the kitchen counter without sticking my face into them... Today I got to see a bloom that I have been waiting to see for FOUR years.... it FINALLY bloomed! It's name is Mecéne and the smell was well worth the wait! I can't wait to see who opens tomorrow :)...See MoreArghhhh. I am an idiot. TWP can also mean
Comments (2)Well......to review, this is a a 700 sf 18 year old PTW deck on its last legs. But it cleaned up great except for the residual stain. I'm trying to squeeze some more years out of it. I left the stripper on two areas, didn't let it dry out. What a gunky nasty job. I definitely don't like the toxicity. It did liquify some stain, but nowhere near all of it, just enough to make a mess and make it hard to see how much was coming off. Even with dwell time of up to 30 minutes, there was still blue left on there. It would take me the rest of the summer to get it all off. The pros have better(?) stuff no doubt, but hiring out, like redecking, has to wait. What to do, what to do... Semi solid stain (that goes in the wood) but sits up filmy and shiney in blotches where the old residue is? or Cabot's primer and solid stain - which will at least be consistantly filmy not so blotchy - until it fails and all heck breaks loose: peeling, etc? or Counter sink the 1000 nails and rent a sander and try to take it down a notch?...See Moreamylou321
