Default Lawn weed and feed

It has been a strange year.
It seems only a short time ago that everywhere was waterlogged and now we
seem to be in a drought (in East Anglia).

It is time to weed and feed but there is no significant rain forecast for
the next week.

I don't really want to have to water the weed and feed in with a hosepipe
if it doesn't rain.


Just musing, really.

Rain, never there when you want it, always there when you don't.

Cheers

Sorry, I caused the East Anglia drought by sowing grass seed two weeks ago!

Wait for the weather to turn. The UK has plenty of it.

Forecast is suggesting rain Monday morning.

I think I will do some spreading this evening then hope.

Rain forecast here over Sunday night, so I spread my 4 in 1 weed & feed
yesterday afternoon. And my it did rain for a bit last night.

This orning my front grass/moss patch (not really recognisable as a
lawn! ) had already started to turn black. Hoping the daisies et al will
now start to die off as well.


Promised rain didn't materialise so I had to spray the grass to water the
treatment in.

It may need another go tomorrow as the ground is so hard the water barely
soaked in.

Some of the moss is going black, though.


Cheers

Strange.

Yesterday morning I noticed that there was a lot of dew on the
"lawn". In the evening it was still there! On closer inspection
a lot of the grass has aquired a little white tip, presumably
due to the weed & feed I put on. Never noticed it before and I
wonder if it is because the stuff I used was fro last year? It
is working fine on everything else, black oss, sickly looking
daisies and dandelions and the grass is picking up.
