I’m sitting at my desk, a little dazed and confused that it is August already. Not only August, but my youngest is leaving for college in just a few days. Where has this summer gone? It seems like it was just yesterday I was gearing up for a great spring and wham! It is August. We have had all different sorts of weather, this growing season, from a rainy spring, to almost drought conditions, to high humidity and heat. These conditions have stressed not only the homeowners, but the lawns as well. We have a terrible infestation of crabgrass this year, due in most part to the very dry conditions and the cracking of the soil. This cracking has broken down the pre-emergent barrier. If you don’t have crabgrass, your lawn has probably had some disease issues this year. That is probably due to the high humidity and heat. The occurrences of lawn disease this year is unheard of.

I now realize why I haven’t blogged since March. I have been interrupted four times while trying to write this. Maybe I will try writing smaller and more often…Let’s see if that works.
Bye for now,
Karen
