Introduction/Table of Contents

Welcome to my garden!

I will be placing plant information here as I learn it. The plants this blog will be focusing on will be ones that I am currently interested in, am planting, or have identified on my own. Each post will contain the plant name, scientific name (if I was able to figure it out which plant I have), how to plant it, care for it, harvest it, save seeds from it, and if it companion plants with other plants (with links hopefully). If you’re interested in Herbs and how to heal with them, you can check out my blog @herbalist-thalkon where I will be updating my research into healing with plants. There will most likely be cross posts, but the posts on this side will deal with more growing and maintaining the plant, whereas the posts on my other blog will have more information on recipes, healing properties, and anything else that I felt was needed to be added to the posts. So, without further ado, the table of contents.

The Boy In The Garden Chapter 1

Hello beautifuls :) So I’ve decided to start posting some original content on here instead of just reblogging everyone’s shit. Here’s the first chapter of a phanfiction I’m currently writing. Note: The story is further along on Quotev, Wattpad, and Archive of Our Own, so I’ll be putting the links to those at the end of the post. I hope you enjoy! -Michael

Chapter 1- Plant Boy

"I can't believe this..." Dan grumbled to himself as he stormed down the hall, visibly pissed off. The dark-haired boy was stewing, and for a good reason. According to the vice principal, being out of school four days of the week was "violating the school's strictly enforced rules" (or something along those lines). So now he had detention for an entire hour, doing what Dan thought could be the worst punishment ever- gardening.

The school had a garden near the football field that Dan had never taken interest in, and in fact had never seen. He learned everything he needed to know about it from other students- it had started out somewhat nice, and had been maintained for about a month by some Girl Scout troop that kept migrating onto the school grounds. But after a while, the troop stopped showing up, and no one in the school bothered to maintain it. So as far as he knew, it was basically a patch of weeds and crabgrass that took up a third of the grass area in back of the school. Dan had no idea why they were making him deal with it- within a week the whole thing would be dead and wilted again.

Dan eventually reached the back door of the school that led out to the grassy area and saw that there was a note taped to the handle. Curious, he picked off the tape and examined the note. He instantly recognized the vice principal's loopy handwriting in thick black ink- Another student will be watching you while you serve your detention. Listen to what he says and take an example from him.

Dan promptly crumpled the note in his hand, letting out a quiet sigh of frustration before opening the door and walking out into the bright sun, squinting slightly. When his eyes finally adjusted to the light, he was surprised to see that the garden wasn't completely dead- although most of it consisted of wilted plants and patches of dandelions, some parts of it were seemingly erupting with life. There were colorful, blooming flowers, and small shrubs sprinkled with blueberries and other types of colorful fruit. But the next thing noticed was that there was no other people to be seen. Sighing, he placed his backpack on the ground and looked around, trying to see where this mystery person who was supposed to be watching him was. After a few minutes of seeing no one, he tentatively opened the gate of the rusted chain-link that surrounded the garden, wincing at the loud squeak it emitted. "Hello? Anyone here?" he called.

"Dan?" he heard a voice call from somewhere within a patch of tall flowers. Dan raised an eyebrow, stepping over the weeds and dead plants as he made his way towards the voice. Just as he reached the flowers, someone who had been hidden in them popped up, seemingly out of nowhere. Dan let out an embarrassingly girly screech, jumping back.

"Sorry!" the boy who had emerged from the plants exclaimed. "A-are you okay?"

Dan exhaled shakily, trying to calm himself down. "Yeah, I'm fine... you just scared me, that's all..."

"Okay..." The boy held out his hand awkwardly. "I'm Phil... and you're Dan, right?"

"Yeah." Dan tentatively shook Phil's hand, taking in the other boy's appearance as he did so. The first thing he noticed were Phil's startlingly blue eyes, which stood out even more when paired with his raven-black hair and pale skin. The clumsily made flower crown perched lopsided on his head, as well as the few petals and leaves stuck to his yellow hoodie, made him seem as though he had erupted from the ground like a plant himself. Dan couldn't help but stare at him for a few seconds before managing to tear his eyes away. "So, what am I gonna be doing?"

"Well, I just finished this patch over here, so we're gonna be getting rid of some of the weeds and stuff in the other parts." Phil grinned. "It's the most tedious part, but it's worth it once stuff starts to grow in it." He gestured to the other parts of the garden and the short, slightly underdeveloped plants before bending down and picking up a pair of work gloves and couple of trowels, already covered with splotches of dirt. Dan smirked and pointed at the rubber handle of one of them, which was pink with Hello Kitty faces. "Really?"

Phil pouted and looked down. "They were the only ones I could find. I mean, it doesn't matter as long as it gets the job done, right?"

"I guess you're right." Dan tugged the gloves onto his hands before grabbing a trowel and kneeling down in a patch of crabgrass, frowning. "The dirt's gonna get all over my jeans..."

"It's fine. It'll wash out anyways." Phil knelt down next to him, already starting to dig up a weed by the roots. "Once you get it out, just chuck it in that bucket over there." For about thirty minutes or so, neither of them spoke as they worked, the silence only being broken by the twitter of birds and the faint yells of the football players practicing on the field atop the nearby hill. Eventually, Dan decided to speak up- the silence was driving him nuts. "So, um... I bet you're not appreciating having to look after me... gardening all afternoon must be pretty boring."

Phil shook his head. "I actually love working here! I spend most of the school day here, which is why most people don't see me in any of their classes..."

"Why?" Dan grabbed a weed by the roots and attempted to pull it out, but it was firmly stuck. Phil seemed oblivious to Dan's struggle, crossing his legs and looking up at the sky as he continued to talk, more to himself than Dan. "I actually agreed to help the school with the garden to pay for my scholarship... my parents don't have a lot of money, so they talked with the school and said that this could be a way to help pay for it..." He let out a small sigh that could have been from contentment or sadness, looking around the garden at the half-grown plants.

Dan finally managed to yank the weed out of the ground, the force of his tug causing dirt to fall down from the roots of the plant and land on his clothes. "Shit..." He chucked the weed into the bucket before attempting to brush the dirt off; however, his filthy gloves just ended up making the situation worse. "For God's sake..."

Phil giggled quietly, tugging off his gloves. "Let me help you with that..." He gently began picking the bits of dirt off of Dan's thin grey t-shirt. Dan flinched slightly as Phil's hands brushed against his torso through his shirt, his heart pounding quickly. He didn't move a muscle until Phil had finished, lifting his hands away. He quickly picked up his trowel and kept his eyes on the ground, his face feeling slightly warm.

Phil frowned. "Are you okay?"

"Hm? Yeah, I'm fine..." Dan pretended to be extremely interested in a patch of dandelions. All of them were a bright yellow except for one, which was now a fluffy white sphere. He poked the stem of the white dandelion with one finger, causing a couple of the fuzzy white seeds to drift off and float up into the sky. Phil noticed the dandelion too and smiled, reaching over and picking it. He stood up with the stem of the flower pinched between his thumb and forefinger, gazing at the hairy white bulb as though it was a precious diamond. Dan stood up as well, smiling as he watched Phil. "You really like that dandelion, huh?"

"It's just so tiny and fluffy..." Phil grinned and raised it up in front of his face. He closed his eyes and blew on it, sending the fuzzy seeds scattering into the air. He opened his eyes, a content smile still on his face as he watched some of the seeds scatter around on the grass outside the garden, the rest of them drifting up into the air and eventually becoming too tiny to watch.

"Did you wish for something?" Dan asked.

"Yep." Phil tied the bare stem in a knot and stuffed it in his pocket. "But I can't tell you, otherwise it won't come true."

Dan chuckled softly. "You're funny..."

"Oh... thank you!" Phil chirped.

"You're welcome..." For a few seconds, the two stood in semi-awkward silence, looking into each other's eyes. Suddenly, the silence was broken by the buzzing of Phil's phone in his back pocket. Phil pulled out his phone and looked at the screen. "It's been an hour already?"

"Wait, really?" Dan asked.

"Yeah..." Dan noticed that Phil sounded slightly disappointed for some reason. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow... actually, I probably won't. Sorry."

"It's fine." Dan said, shrugging. "I'll try to find you and talk to you if I get a chance."

"Thanks." Phil smiled as the two walked out of the garden. Even though it was only four in the afternoon, the sun was already beginning to set. Dan admired the sunset for a few seconds before picking up his backpack and opening the back door to the school. He turned around to see that Phil was walking up the hill. "What are you doing?" he called after him.

"My house is just over the hill," Phil replied. "I always just walk to and from school..."

"Oh, okay!" Dan shrugged. "Well, see ya!"

"Bye, Dan!" WIth that, Phil practically skipped up the hill and disappeared over the top of it. Dan smiled to himself. That kid's actually pretty nice... I hope we get to see each other again soon.

10/7/2019

brandon and i went down to the train tracks by the la river. parked the car in the arts district. down past the “soho warehouse” the social club up on the rooftop and the barely reformed warehouses bombed-out looking.

we’d walked around the industrial quarter of downtown at night earlier in the week. putrid smell of clothes and trash on the ground. i don’t know how clothes and stuff gathers like that for the homeless. there are smells downtown that make me worried i’m going to get a disease. a lot of things originate here. roaches and rats and old-school plagues. the tents here in los angeles are really really intense. some are big. they mark off sections of the sidewalk and you don’t see what’s going on inside (Behind cloth walls). people stick together and make tent cities. a lot of the houseless people look like just average citizens. just normal people who haven’t been tattooed by homelessness yet. we walked past people staggering under the floodlights trying to erase the darkness of the alleys. weeds 6 foot high these new weeds that i dont remember from before that now remind me of places like this. they grow tall and ugly and hairy almost, they grow straight up. brandon and i walked looking for a burger shop. i was more scared than he was. past a van blasting mexican music, the kind with trumpets and sort of a ballad. at first i was comforted by the sound but by brandon’s hesitation i noticed it was weird to play such a thing to an alleyway, at 2:00 in the morning.

getting home to a warm bed was a relief. somewhere warm and safe where you don’t have to look behind you or be afraid. we saw a guy walking who kept looking behind him. we saw black and white helicopters flying overhead, LAPD, so many. we saw industrial workers at these giant wholesale warehouses getting things ready for the morning. pulling things out of trucks and putting them in. it felt safe there too. it felt like the kind of situation where you could die but probably wouldn’t. there were hibiscus flowers.

the thumping gunshots of the hardcore rave we’d gone to when getting here felt so wrong. $20 each for security guards, warehouse space and paying the artists well. young friendly healthy-looking people with a table of dj equipment. meanwhile we’re in the middle of one of la’s many hoods and a uniquely terrible one. the angry aggressive electronic music carries for blocks of this derelict place and the uncomfortable looking tenant building next to us. i wonder what homeless people say about the warehouse parties that go on in skid row and the fashion district. it’s a tale as old as time for the artists to go where it’s cheap and grimey but the discrepancy felt too great and it felt wrong to stand on the rooftop where cool kids were hanging out and smoking cigarettes and looking out from the tower onto the rough and deeply dangerous and deeply unwell street. as we left a man staggered in our direction from the mouth of the alleyway and we went in the other direction.

at another warehouse party i attended in skid row the streets were alive with homeless people, there was no sidewalk because the tents took up the sidewalk and so the people that lived there and hung around there took to the street. the streets were filled with people like a slow-motion bedlam. a woman sitting on a broken stool saw us first, getting out of the lyft, looking lost. she told us to come and told us exactly where the rave was. we said thank you and were grateful for her kindness because we were afraid. she offered us weed or meth and said had we got anything and we said no, she asked if we had money and my friend max who is wonderful this way gave her twenty dollars. we should have left then but had stayed too long and four or five others came over and they asked for money too. we didn’t know what to do because we all wanted to be kind to homeless people in that naive way and we just stood there and began to catch the attention of others who began coming over from the farther reaches. the first woman asked us all how old we were and at this point i hostilely lied. max told her the truth. then a tired-looking black man with glasses came down from somewhere and told the original woman that it was time for us to go and to leave us alone. he said it like he knew her, like they were family and they listened and they all went back.

we went into the rave guarded by a big strong man and the walls were 10 feet high and made of cement with barbed wire on top. inside was plasticky neon basic EDM music and lots of people. and it was so loud no one could have slept next the building. it made me think about rising waters and tension and the possibility of riots. us safe in our cement barbed wire and the oceans of suffering outside. i think of someone saying “just let me look at you” and spreading them apart with a magnifying glass, a rape of the city. brandon and i are obsessed or at least very interested in these insanely tough neighborhoods and i can’t think of why it’s not poverty tourism. i think it’s okay but you have to talk to people and not treat them like animals and you have to understand that this isn’t an aesthetic. it’s hard because i aestheticize everything especially the dark parts of life but increasingly when i come home after experiences like this i feel stressed. it makes me feel precarious. i feel like i’m doing some kind of duty if i do it right but i’m also afraid i might die. LA isn’t providence. if i was ever scared or worried in providence, LA is the big dogs it’s the major leagues it’s where all this shit gets ever more concentrated and ever more stark. i get scared when we get home at night. i don’t know how many people, poor people have to tell me that this life fucking sucks and i should never wish it on anyone so why would i even go here. it’s so not normal and it’s twisted. but i can’t stop because i feel like there’s something i have to do, maybe, and i just have to be careful that i don’t become another arm of the culture-raping gentrifying cycle but for this to actually be it.

anyway when i start talking about my privilege i just end up in this endless cycle thought machine so i’ll tell you what we did and what else happened.

after that night we went to the la river and i parked the car in the arts district and we started looking for a weak spot into the river. i thought it’d be a kind of safe tunnel through the city because there’s a bike path i’d biked along at some point as a kid. but there was no sidewalk next to the river here and it was all fenced off to get there in the parking lots of factories and warehouses and restaurants, well fenced or gated, and there were people around. so we walked and walked and found a place at maybe baby 667 took a right. brandon kept saying maybe baby maybe baby and we walked into the back of a wholesale truck place where the cargo crate attaches to the wall of the building like the tunnel between an airport and airplane. nothing there, no way in. we went the other direction towards a construction site and there was a way in there, it was a sunday so construction was halted. there was a fence we could easily have crawled under into what looked like a tunnel down into the river next to a metro building, but we weren’t sure if a ticket person was sitting in the booth in the parking lot and we walked nother 40 feet past a man in an orange and yellow reflective vest who looked at us a little funny.

for the life of us we couldn’t find an opening, it must have been an hour. i was surprised. into the arts district through hennesy and ingalls it felt like we were being directed. or protected. it got super rich and gentrified, turns out after verve coffee roasters skid row was .2 miles to the left, but we were being directed along this long shaped metal outside-tunnel wall thing through the safe parts and we started getting frustrated thinking we were losing the river because there’d never be a weak spot here.

we reached a bridge that would bring us across the river to the other side and thus into east la. i knew we had to ascend the stairs, i just knew for some reason. next to another or the same metro building with crabgrass we took one last look at a possibility -- a weakly fenced crack between two buildings. in front of the fence was a stinky pile of waste and i lifted my pants and hopped across it afraid to touch it even with my feet as brandon held back behind. it was truly a crevasse, about four feet across and it looked like there were people in or recently had been. brandon sort of wanted to go but i said it looked strange, something wrong, claustrophobic. when we ascended the stairs of the bridge and looked down the crack ended in a dead end. somebody had lived there like a snake in the rock. trapped themselves but banking on the idea that no one else would want to take the risk and enter either. jon said it was like literally being backed into a corner, no other place to go. he said it was sad.

we crossed the bridge and saw a man that startled brandon but more on that later. we took a left to keep going north up along the river but almost immediately i took a breath. there was writing on the wall that looked strange. it looked like it had been written by a white crusty. it had this bloody dripping quality, scrawled and was almost a paragraph, some sentence i dont remember about the water rising perhaps. and when it distracted me or sort of spoke to me i suddenly realized that that was it: the opening.

we went through the space between the bridge and the building and suddenly we were there. a big gravel parking lot with rusted traincars parked and empty. to our left under the bridge a homeless encampment. a latina woman walked in the opposite direction of us between tent and sink or something like someone just going about their fucking day in the glare of sunlight and public and the hunched stress of poverty, but also just a young woman living. i didn’t feel unsafe much at all near them. people form tent cities often to feel more safe. community and protection behind cloth walls and the neverending threat of having to move and leave a lot of what you’ve got behind and stake out another place in unknown territory on the street.

the parking lot had a surprising amount of cars in it. i actually dont know how cars drove in there. a lot of the cars were kind of nice and some were driving kind of weirdly, backing up and making U turns or just circling a little bit. not like they were waiting to make a drug deal though. just this weird collision of privacy out in the public. a man and wife and two little kids got out of the car and started taking pictures with their iphones. of the la river and the train tracks. there were a number of people like that. brandon and i were both in ponytails and loose and dark clothes, tucked so nothing was sticking out, comfortable clothes you could move in, dark in the heat. we walked right past the family who looked at us almost like we could be the dangerous ones. we walked past them along the tracks, under the bridge and into a new sort of zone. not directly into the la river because it is remarkably visible and vulnerable, wash of sunbaked gray cement through the whole city -- could see us from a mile. we walked along it though we did see a tunnel going from the riverside into the underground of the city.

a sign said no trespassing no dumping though we saw many putrid piles of homelessness that brandon said were very much like the ones he saw at the border. people have to leave their stuff behind and he called them artifacts, photos of family and religious items, which was beautiful to me because many of these items were so disposable and transient. and the stink of displacement, the stink of stress on people’s backs. we saw many of them and heard voices in the shadows the way you heard animals and i had to remind myself that this was not the apocalypse, every man for himself, these were people living behind cloth walls in the back alley we traversed in the heat. we tried to walk quietly on the tracks themselves. a tent under the bridge solemn and silent like a shrine.

we walked quietly on the tracks themselves so our feet wouldnt rattle the gravel of slag and asphalt. actually i told brandon to do that. i think he’s street smart but sometimes he surprises me -- he doesnt slip or sneak. i sneak like a cat when im in places like this. i dont know if he’s right to be unafraid to me he’s being a dope. brandon had brought the weed without me realizing and it was time to smoke. we sat to the side of the train tracks back out from under the bridge in the yellow heat of sun and dried out los angeles plant weeds waiting to be revived by rain which grew thick here unlike other places where they just die. he lit the joint and the trouble started.

we heard a train whistle in the distance and we were both like shit active train tracks. railside traffic lights had turned green and we thought the train was coming just as the no trespassing sign became obvious in front of us. usually trespassing isn’t a big deal but sometimes it is. once in a park a sheriff found us with his flashlight off way in the hedges and wrote us all up.

plus we were high. so we ran to the opposite end of the track where we could crouch behind a low wall and kept sipping on the joint which almost caught fire to my hair and the weeds lol. then brandon looked at his watch and it was time to go so he could make it to work on time. so we went up the hill behind the wall because we heard traffic and thought it might be just a street. plus we found a modest footpath made by a person. industrial relics, old rusted things with many pieces lodged in the side of the hill we passed. brandon said this was the same at the border too, these little paths. he followed me because i’m good at scrambling. and we slowly poked our heads up and it was...

a construction site. another empty one. the traffic right beyond. i felt vulnerable out in the open like that -- we were even visible to some of the road, and it looked like someone could come out from one of the bulldozers or cranes at any minute. we edged along the shadow in the perimeter and i feigned confidence that i could get us out but my legs felt shakey and brandon was quickly losing confidence in me. i wished i could have been a better leader. there were many places we could just scale and jump out to the sidewalk but i didn’t know what we were jumping into. the way there was crawling with cop cars, and, i dont know. the spaces between chainlink fences were too small and we watched a guy about our age bike by without noticing us. that’s a funny feeling that’s happened a few times in places like this. everyday life just beyond the fence.

it’s a nightmarish feeling, to be trapped at a dead end. the flow of your movement cut off. i don’t know how to explain it. it’s not the fear that some big scary person is going to come after you right then. it’s the fear of being trapped. i’ve, yeah, had dreams about it and it’s happened to me a couple times. you have to go back the way you came. eventually brandon made the call to just walk the way back. we walked back and being high we managed to really freak each other out.

first there was a sound behind us. looked up. police helicopter. they regularly patrol los angeles particularly downtown. or maybe it was on a mission who knows. they patrol the border too, and fly low to terrify people. this one flew right above our heads. why here, at the riverside? i imagined organized executions, shootings going on here in this overgrown alleyway walled off from the street. visible only from that other dimension. being high we both flipped that the helicopter was going to say something to us. i just stood up straight, moved to the shadows and kept walking like business as usual. police bluff. we didn’t turn around.

then we heard the craziest fucking thing. it was like a bird, loud and low by our ears. a big bird, a bird with big windpipes. and i swear to you there was something deliberate in its call. though the notes were many the way it was played had none of the wild animalness of a bird, none of the changes in dynamic, none of the rhythms beyond humans. it sounded like it was being played...on some kind of flute or whistle. it was going on behind us mixing with the helicopter blades. it, too, felt like it was about us. i think it was some kind of signal but brandon insists it was just a bird. but he didn’t say that then. i fucking swear it wasn’t a bird. i don’t know what it was. the signal idea’s beautiful but the melody was rather complex (and did not repeat). to know what that meant would really be a whole language. maybe it was just someone trying to attract a bird. whatever it was it played at our backs as we beat it.

that’s all i want to say for today peace out

Tips To Control Weeds In Your Lawn

"Weeds are really plants that are delegated grow by nature uncontrolled in its natural environment. Depending on its location, there are varied groups of weeds that grow in different climates and settings. If delegated grow wild, weeds can overcrowd other landscaping shrubs, turfs and other ornamental plants.Weeds are categorized primarily according to the shape of the foliage, its manner of growth, and the time when it grows.

According to Development:

Crabgrass - when this grassy weed has actually started to inhabit a location in your garden it can be very tough to remove it. This type is yearly and it sprouts by seeds dispersed throughout the previous year. Sunshine is the very best buddy of crabgrass where it assists it to grow. With this kind of weed, it's practical for one to prevent it from growing rather of controlling it once it has actually sprung. The weed starts to germinate once warmer temperature levels comes (15 C) typically middle of May and then continuing through spring and summer. Apply mulch on areas where there are wanted plants so regarding stop crabgrass from sprouting.

Wild Onion - A close cousin of the cultured onion (Allium cepa), wild onion resembles like a yard at a look. Close assessment will expose triangular leaf configuration contrary to a lance or linear-shaped blade that one notices on a yard turf. It can grow from its small buried bulb as much as 2 feet when it flowers in late summer season. One will see a distinctive onion fragrance when near this weed. Ways to avoid this wild onion from sprouting is to cover the soil with mulch or either use ""Solarization"" so that weed seeds will be eliminated. This procedure ought to be carried out in the spring where weed seeds start to germinate.

According to kind of Leaf:

Broad-leafed weed- This kind of weed is easily identified since of its broad foliage which normally are in sets or in clusters, composed of flat, large leaves connected to the stem. Examples are:

Dandelion - You recognize them particularly when you see its seeds blown by the wind. They start to grow during hot summer weather condition where thousands of seeds are spread by breeze or by grazing animals. It is practically difficult to prevent dandelions from spreading when it begins to flower and seed. Prior to this weed reaches its blooming phase, dig it out from the ground, roots, stems and all to control its population. Any part of the root left, will mature to another plant. If there are seed heads, cover it with a paper bag bewaring not to disturb the seeds.

Plantain - This weed is extremely typical in gardens. It is a seasonal that prospers in cooler seasons and is discovered nearly everywhere. The foliage are rosette-shaped and have obvious veins. Leaves might appear parallel-veined, dark green to purple and might be hairy or smooth. Seed heads resembling rats' tails is the difference of this weed. The flowers are white and arranged in a spike. Flowering starts in June to September. Plantains can be eliminated by pulling them out if in little amounts. Others utilize broad-leaf herbicides however be careful for herbicides do not extra other broad-leafed plants.

According to Time of Development

Cooler Season Annuals and Perennials - As the names say, these are weeds that prosper when temperature is at a lower level such as start of spring or late winter season never returning/returning every year.

Henbit - This annual weed has purple flowers which initially look you would believe that it's one of the flowers in your. Identification of this pest of a plant is through the plan of its foliage.

It is practically difficult to prevent dandelions from spreading out when it begins to flower and seed. Before this weed reaches its blooming stage, dig it out from the ground, roots, stems and all to control its population. Any part of the root left, will mature to another plant. If there are seed heads, cover it with a paper bag taking care not to disrupt the seeds.

Plantain - This weed is extremely common in gardens. It is a seasonal that prospers in cooler seasons and is discovered almost all over. The foliage are rosette-shaped and have obvious veins. Leaves may appear parallel-veined, dark green to purple and may be hairy or smooth. Seed heads looking like rats' tails is the distinction of this weed. The flowers are white and arranged in a spike. Blooming starts in June to September. Plantains can be removed by pulling them out if in small amounts. Others utilize broad-leaf herbicides but be careful for herbicides do not extra other broad-leafed plants.

According to Time of Growth

Cooler Season Annuals and Perennials - As the names say, these are weeds that prosper when temperature level is at a lower level such as start of spring or late winter never returning/returning every year.

Henbit - This annual weed has purplish blooms which in the beginning glimpse you would think that it's one of the flowers in your. Identification of this insect of a plant is through the arrangement of its foliage. Henbit has leaves that are linked straight to the stem without petioles. You will observe it in early spring/late fall when temperature level is at its low. The finest control for this nasty weed is to utilize pre-emergent control herbicides. But for me as an advocate of organic gardening, I would attempt to nip it at the bud pointers to stop it from growing further. Another thing is to mulch and mulch! Mulch covers the soil and avoids the sun from helping exposed weed seeds sprout from the top soil. Mulch will also lock in moisture which is useful to the plants.

- Actions to control the spread of these weeds is to avoid fertilizing cool season yards and warm season lawns beginning of spring and winter.

- Mow the cooler season yards at high levels in spring and the warm season ones both spring and winter season. Rake the creeping weeds in summer season time.

- For perennials, utilize a rake during spring to raise the creeping stems. Then, cut the exposed stems and dispose of all the clippings to get rid of the stems that will propagate when left on the ground.

Warmer Season Annuals/Perennials- They flourish best throughout summer season. Crabgrass is one in addition to wood sorrel.

- A 'no fertilization during summer season guideline' will fare well with the culling of these weeds. Mowing at suggested height and using a gathering bag to gather clippings are other cool methods of keeping the weed seeds checked.

- When it comes to the seasonal weeds that thrive when temperatures are warm, removing all clumps, roots and rhizomes will remove the population. Cutting at a high level will likewise prevent wanted turfs from getting cut.

I hope I have imparted a handful of concepts that will help you handle pesky weeds in your backyard. There may be other solutions aside from what I shared. It is alright. Keep in mind, that if you know when a weed grows ... flowers ... seeds ... then you know when to eliminate it."

What you should know about crabgrass

Shaggy summer annual In most cases, crabgrass makes its appearance when soil temperatures are sustained above 55 degrees F. (Photo: FMC)

It’s everywhere: According to Jim Brosnan, Ph.D., associate professor at the University of Tennessee, a 2017 survey by the Weed Science Society of America found that it is the No. 1 most common turfgrass weed.

It follows forsythia: This weed is a summer annual (typically — there are some species that are considered perennials), and its germination occurs when soil temperatures are sustained above 55 degrees F. Don’t have the tools — or the time — to track soil temps? Watch for the forsythia to bloom. This event often coincides with soil temperatures warm enough to sustain this weed’s germination.

It needs a shave: A couple types of this weed have hairy leaf sheaths. One type of this weed can grow up to three feet tall if left unmowed.

It preys on the weak: It favors sandy, sunny locations with weakened turfgrass, says Michael Sisti, golf and lawn care market manager for FMC. Areas damaged by insects or along sidewalks and driveways are prime targets for this weed.

It is prolific: A single plant can produce 150-700 tillers and 150,000 seeds, according to Sisti. Primary reproduction for this weed is through seeds, so it is important to remove seedheads or apply a preemergent herbicide for control.

Did you guess crabgrass? If you did, you’re right. And while knowing about it is great, the real question is how do you deal with it?

There are several species of crabgrass, but among the most common found in lawns are smooth crabgrass and large crabgrass, according to Brosnan. Large crabgrass is more commonly found in the south and smooth crabgrass in the north, but both can be found in the Transition Zone.

The best defense against crabgrass is a healthy, thick lawn and root system. Cutting the lawn at the recommended height will encourage a healthy root system to develop and will also remove seedheads. But be careful. Cutting the lawn too short can lead to poor turf density, which will make the lawn more susceptible to crabgrass.

“Because crabgrass is such a prolific seeder, anything that can be done to reduce seed production will help alleviate the occurrence of this weed,” Sisti says.

Another benefit of keeping the lawn lush and healthy? Increased mowing height can improve the efficacy of several preemergent herbicides used for crabgrass control, according to Brosnan. Data regularly show that preemergent herbicide applications are the most effective way to control crabgrass in the landscape, he says.

Finally, don’t forget to keep an eye on your equipment, Sisti adds.

“It’s important to note the calibration of your application equipment, both sprayers and spreaders, is essential to ensure you’re delivering the proper amount of active ingredient,” he says. “Any type of soil disruption, like dethatching or heavy raking, can nullify the crabgrass barrier.”
