The Jealousy Starts...
Reading about folks getting their lawns going makes me jealous this time of year, and four recent Nor'easters has me feeling that I'm still going to be looking at this for a while. 12" (lots of sun areas) to 24" (shady) has me bummed.

Re: The Jealousy Starts...
Now that's a pile. Do you want it gone yesterday, or do you get nostalgic when the last bit of snow is melting?
PS: Ours is almost gone and I'm getting nostalgic.

That's not a pile - that's where the snowblower is parked and the snow on that area of the lawn. The pile is over 8'

Re: The Jealousy Starts...
I definitely can feel your pain Andy..while we have not had snow here in Nashville, we have had 6" of rain so far this year just on SATURDAY..so much for trying to do anything to my yard. Another 2-4" of rain is in the forecast for this week. While we have not had much snow this winter, we have had a very cool march and a very wet 2018.

Andy, do you think spraying Serenade to parts of the lawn with snow mold can help or should I just gently rake the matted grass.

When I had PRG, Winter Kill and Snow Mold were issues. Not so with KBG, although the Emblem sleeps until almost May. Its time is July.

Ahem! Thanks but I don't care for Key West - the Upper Keys and Key Largo/Islamorada are more my taste. Nobody cares whether you're a billionaire or a bum, as long as you make it to Happy Hour on time...

Re: The Jealousy Starts...
I never get nostalgic when the snow goes away.....ever! In fact, I have to keep myself from going outback, gassing up my Broadmoor, and just running it around the yard a few times. I NEED green grass! Instead, I woke up to 3" - 4" of snow this morning.

Re: The Jealousy Starts...
Ok, the jealousy is at a level 10 for me now. I'm looking at an inch or two of snow outside right now and a 35 degree high (25 below normal for this time of year). I just want to mow some grass!!
At least I'm not in Minneapolis, talking to a friend out there and some areas got around a foot of snow over the weekend.

Re: The Jealousy Starts...
I tried the other route for the jealousy. I'm in Key Largo - now who's jealous?
