My mind immediately went to the Monty Python live-organ-transplant scene from Meaning of Life.
It's almost more shocking to me that, if it's actually true, some people actually agreed to be tested.
Here's the thing - if the boss asked for volunteers, and I worked there, I would volunteer in a heartbeat. I believe THAT strongly in organ donation. Two of my nieces had liver transplants for biliary atresia when they were toddlers. One is now in her mid 30s with three kids. Her sister was less of a fighter and succumbed to a slow rejection.
But demanding it or threatening to fire me if I refuse? Hello unemployment, and lawsuit...
Cooler, keep track of those thistle spots. There are annual and perennial thistles. The perennial ones will have rhizomes that will tiller underground and regrow. You either have to completely dig them out or use herbicides to kill them. Pulling them just makes them tough and angry.
I've ready horror stories about that stuff. We had a good amount of crabgrass late summer last year as well and I was worried that would make an appearance. Not much so far, it would seem. We also have more dock than I would like to see, but it sounds like regular mowing (which we did not do last year) will help take that out.
Put it down a crabgrass preventer and fertilizer this spring, very soon if you haven't already. Then mow your lawn fairly high. Spray for broad leaves in the fall and a couple years after seeding you will have a decent lawn. Unless you want sod.
I doubt they will unless more development happens around us and they want to connect us in. We're kind of isolated from the rest of the neighborhoods and there's no real through traffic, which is nice.
Crabgrass doesn't generally show up until the middle of summer. I use crabgrass preventer along the road and driveway in the spring (it still shows up, just not as bad). You could probably still put it down but I'm not sure how it would affect your somewhat newly seeded grass.
Notice she didn't deny the 9 kids thing? It's going to be like a less rapey Duggar household for CG.
we were specifically told not to do a crabgrass preventer this spring because of the amount of lawn seed still germinating from our last seeding in Nov. We did fertilize.
don't destroy my dreams! Hopefully enough of the lawn will be established that it won't be like it was last year. The areas we had a good amount last year are filling in well at this point.
Well that wasn't the news I wanted to hear. It's no trouble keeping track of the thistle spots. It pretty much includes anything that wasn't paved.
Thanks for the heads-up though.
