[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t imagine judging the yards and gardens of anywhere right now. It’s March. [/quote]

Cool. We’re not in Chicago or Omaha though.  In DC the flowers are blooming the grass is Kelley green, and the trees are leafing out. All the flowering trees are already in bloom. Check the title of the website, and thanks[/quote]

People generally don't start their spring yard work till after last frost date which is right around now or early April.[/quote]
Shhh. PP knows everything. Obviously if the grass is green where [i]they[/i] live in DC and the trees are leafing out, then that’s everything! There’s nothing else that can grow or look better in a few weeks. Nothing.

- not Omaha, Chicago or DC but a gardener who knows judging lawns and gardens by their early spring appearance is a fool’s game[/quote]

You’re mocking me and claiming I’m judging something? I’m not making predictions about the yard’s appearance in July.

Since you’re a DC gardener you know that it’s time now, or past time, to lay sod, prune certain trees, plant summer bulbs, edge, mulch, plant spring bedding plants like pansies, apply pre-emergents (organic or traditional). Overlay organic material on the lawn, like biochar.  Fertilize acid-loving shrubs, apply soil amendments such as lime.

If you’re so inclined, it’s past time to apply the first application of fungicide to vulnerable fruit trees.

This is my “judgment” from decades of yard care in DC that has nothing to do with driving around, or whatever you said.
