We had a 2014 gardening thread and another planting trees thread. Figured it would be better just to have a general thread to share knowledge about all things yards.
I've learned stuff about growing things here in the desert from people all around the country. Post pictures and share your knowledge! [Reply]

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. [Reply]

Yeah. I think at least the spring wheat is pretty fucked 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. [Reply]
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) [Reply]
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. [Reply]

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. [Reply]
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. [Reply]
