Yesterday, I got ambitious and thought I would try to remove the brown dead crab grass
patches from my lawn out front. You can just see the areas where the crab grass grew--
ugly, dry and brown patches.
Got my long-handled cultivator and hatched away. Pulled up as much as i could.
In a way, it is probably a lost cause....but I thought I would do it anyway.
Leaf-rake cleaned up some of the smaller clumps left.

Why am I telling you this? Because--every dead clump of crab grass had small
new green leaves growing from it. So much for all this warm weather....
Maybe I should use a weed-killer on them? Nice, fresh, new growths....BAM!

77 degrees predicted today!!!! New record!
Those early frost-nights a month ago sure messed everything up.

Look!
