Mow #9 yesterday, I’ll likely mow today. I’m trying to keep it down between rains

Spot sprayed CCO on a little clover, oxalis, and a few violets.
WBG on dandelions (thanks to my neighbors field of dandelions year after year!) and unknown weeds.
I deceided what I thought was chickweed must be something else, the CCO didn't do anything that I applied 2 weeks ago.
Apparently neither did the Halts in the fall. :confused:
So I hit whatever it is with WBG and see if it knocks it out.

Blew all the crap out of the gutters with my DIY blower attachment and new blower. Then I did a quick mow before the rain. It looks good enough that I will post pictures tomorrow :o

Put Milo out about 10 minutes ago. Only mowed once, the green up is already there with my KBG. I reno'd a side and the grass is brighter green so hoping things will get darker.

Mowed the lawn in the morning and at 5:30 pm did an application of WBG. Very straggler weeds so decided to clean house.

Mowed, planted Solomon’s seal, liatris, New England aster, Cardinal flowers, black eyed Susan’s, and trout lilies.

Oh and a few marigolds. It’s local garden society plant sale season around here.

Good thing I mowed yesterday.
Rain, yet again, today. :roll:
Raked under my hemlock (overgrown) bushes/trees, that is the border between my land and neighbors.
16 bags of debris! Able to get rid of it at our dump.
They have a special section for grass/leaves and brush.

Years ago I thought of planting my clematis by my mailbox but deceided the dogs like my mailbox post too much. :no:
I, instead, planted it by my lamp post.
It's further into the yard.

Applied second split app of Dimension and second of five Tenacity apps. Doing the 14 day, twice a week, 3.2 ounce Tenacity program. Also applied two bags of Milo just to get used to my new Lesco spreader. Still working on calibration of the new spreader especially distance between each pass. I figured by applying Milo, it was a good way of experimenting with it.

Mowed, trimmed, edged, spot sprayed triclopyr on clover and sedge grass. The sedge grass is coming right through landscape fabric.
