Thanks for all the responses. Lawn was laid new from sod last year, so easy peazy, or so I thought. Not sure if its my learning curve on weed control, the drought, or some combo of both, but I feel like Bill Murray in Caddyshack seeing them popping up in my lawn.

Honestly, I have a yard guy. I could do it all but it would be different shit than I’m using and when I’d need to be doing it I need to be tending the grass that pays.

Read the label but you might need some non-ionic surfactant to help it stick to the leaves.

Yeah. I think at least the spring wheat is pretty ****ed up there. That’s what I’ve heard anyway. And it’s probably right because a protein premium for my hard red winter has showed up in the market.

I thought there was a green thumb thread but I was too lazy look it up but I got a lot of sun flowers growing again this year and a pumpkin patch. I'll share some pics sometime. last year they grew huge (that's what she said)

Marked for later. I need to post some pics and contribute to this.

My Toro push mower started running like crap last week. Figured the carb jet was getting clogged. It was. Ran better but still has issues. Figured I'd have to tear into the carb to clean. Went online and found OEM carb for $22 including new air filter as a bonus. No brainer since my time is more valuable than screwing around with a carburetor. Thank you ebay.

If those are your planters air plants are your best bet. No soil needed just air and water (soak in water for awhile once every week or ten days). Lots of different varieties and fairly inexpensive.

Those are hideous.

Pothos would probably work in those along with air plants.

I have a forest of sunflowers

Steven Raichlen made grilled whole sunflower on today's show. Really interesting. You can probably find it on PBS's website or their streaming site. Might be a thing.

Hmm I'm thinking i can roast them on my grill at low heat and give them a smoky taste I didn't think of that before thanks for the idea :thumb:

I like the red ones. Are they of a different variety?
