Chickweed in Bloom
Finding common chickweed in bloom. Along the side of a house. Not a sunny area, but a warm micro-climate between 2 houses.
Chickweeds like damp, moist conditions. This area was quite damp, a lot of bentgrass growing here. Both bentgrass and chickweed like more moisture than some other plants

Moss Patch
Moss can be a visual distraction in lawns and grass. Although at this time of year, it may be the greenest part of your lawn.

Dandee-lion in Wait
Whilst the sunshine lingers, the sap flows upwards. Blooms lay ready to dot the lawns with their own special editions of golden petals.

It's Beginning to Look like Irish Spring
Yesterday, I talked about patches of lawns that were itching to start growing.
Here's a patch that (even though the the photo doesn't do it justice) is not only itching, it's growing. It's got its own patch of global warming micro-climate.
Up against a south facing brick wall. And a 3 storey brick wall. So all the sunshine and warm weather gets bounced back and accumulates in the soil. I suppose some heat escapes from the building itself as well.
As the soil starts to warm up, the grass starts to get active. The turf closest to the building is the tallest, because it has started to grow the most. (also because it is quack grass rather than Kentucky bluegrass)
South facing lawns will green up faster than north facing lawns. (all other factors being equal of course.)
I did drive past a north facing lawn that was greener than the south facing lawns on the opposite side. But the lawns on the opposite side were city boulevards that are not generally well kept or nourished.
The north facing lawn was on a well groomed, well landscaped yard. Unfortunately, I was unable to take a photo for you.

Early Spring or Global Warming?
All that rain. . . . What happened to April Showers? This is only the first half of March. Is this a harbinger of an early spring? Or is this a symptom of Climate Change and Global Warming.
This weekend saw a March record for rainfall broken here in Hamilton. 150 people called City Hall to report flooded basements. Some homeowners reported 36 inches of water in their homes.
I'm sorry for all those who are suffering due to the intense rain and to the wandering water drops, but I'm just glad that all that rain came as rain and not as snow. That would have been a huge blizzard of shoveling. And it would have put spring on the back burner for a week or two.
The lawns are glad. Here and there, one can see signs (not of green, yet) but some kind of activity. I swear the grass in not the same colour it used to be a few weeks, maybe even days ago. Any bit of warmth, and the turf will start to send some of that warmth up from the soil and into the roots and up into the blades. "Hang on," spring is around the corner.
It's trying its best to be green by St. Patrick's Day for a change. Now, that may be old hat to some parts south of here, but a green lawn on March 17 is not a common site in this neck of the woods. Not even if you give it a lot of green beer to drink.
Here at Turf King Lawn Care, we're trying our best to be Green, too. New products, new applications, new methods, new ideas . . . all part of the process to make your lawn "greener and green." Or you could also say "green and greener", which is slightly different from "greener and greener."
