Plant some tomatoes this week. I dare you.

Only a fool would do that.


Any ideas on when the last big frost of the year will be? I've never been much of a lawn person but I'm starting to get a little more invovled this year. I want to put down some milorganite in the yard and the bag says wait til Easter which is over a week into April this year. I know that right now we're not out of the woods weather/cold wise but I mean would mid-March be ok you think?

I know what it says on the bag and on their website. Beyond that I don't know what answer you're looking for.

If you're in Atlanta mid March is probably a tad too early. Atlanta is split into zone 7b/8a depending on where you are.

You could probably get away with planting the last week of March in 8a. I would wait until 2nd week in April if I lived in Atlanta, but I'm sure some people plant earlier. Rarely frosts in April obviously, but every once in a while there's a shitty surprise.

If your lawn looks like shite and you had a pro come by and tell you to use milorganite, then proceed. If you are choosing it because the internet, think twice.

Assuming bermudagrass right? Let's start there.

frick it. I'm going to assume it is bermudagrass.


Simple.

1: Eliminate weeds with a pre-emergent used twice a year, I say three times, the bag says twice, I say three.

2: Water it during dry spells. The forecast in the summer will have a 20% chance of rain every day but it will somehow not rain at your house. Water the lawn in the summer. If it rains later that day, wink back at God.

3: Give it high nitrogen fertilizer as soon as it greens up, usually late may or early june. Apply at half the recommended rate, in vertical stripes, then go back across it horizontally for the other half. You can repeat this in late July if you aren't tired of cutting grass yet.

4: Cut your grass twice a week. If you want to be a weekend warrior, accept that it won't be the best in the neighborhood. When it is popping off and growing like the dickens and fertilized and watered, you can't just mow it once a week or it will outrun you.

5: Any shady areas where the grass is weak should be converted to flower beds. Full sun is key for Lawn Of The Month grass.

6: Pressure wash your driveway so your beautiful lawn doesn't make your infrastructure look like East Berlin.

7: Don't forget to wipe down that mailbox and make it shine.

8: Keep your pit bulls chained up behind the house instead of the front yard because their foot traffic will tamp down even the most resilient turf grass.

9: Don't mow your grass when it is wet.

10: It's OK to waste a little pre-emergent on the borders to accidentally make sure your neighbor's weeds don't start to violate your perimeter.

Same thing that is happening now happened last year. Evrything started waking up in late February and people like deeprig got spring fever and planted some overpriced bonnie plants seedlings. And then the entire state got temps down in the 20s for about 8 hours in late March when a typical cold front blew through.

You can still get those fronts in April, but it is much more rare. I cant remember it dipping below freezing in April for more than an hour or two in the last ten years or so.

The file is eternal. So I took a wrong turn on youtube recently and ended up going down a terrifying rabbit hole going on two days now and feel compelled to make other’s experience this.

Disclaimer: If you are easily rattled or are prone to nightmares or panic attacks, do not read any further. At times, I would actually have to quit reading/watching and walk around to shake off the physical dread that would creep in on me when imagining what this fellow suffered through. Because this is one of the worst situations imaginable

So, if you really think you want to know about something like that, please look up John Edward Jones and the Nutty Putty Cave and let me know what you think. Theres plenty of videos, articles, etc on it. He was a med student with a young family and another child on the way that went to explore a cave with his friends the day before Thanksgiving. And tragically took a very wrong turn

The reason ive been obsessed for two days is because there are so damn many of these similiar stories. I dont understand the draw taht pulls people into these places. Maybe someone on here does.

Damn, I hope that you are okay. I never meant to cause pain and discomfort.

I'm unaware of dark places on YouTube. I merely Googled TCU Georgia torrent and found light and salvation.

The tiny passageway had narrowed to only 10 inches wide. He was already in so far that it was impossible to move backwards. He thought his only option was to keep going thinking and hoping it would widen into a chamber where he could turn around. Continuing further also meant that he would be nearly upside down now, but he drew in his breath to make himself skinnier and inched forward. When he exhaled and his body expanded, he was now completely stuck and unable to move. His arms completely pinned, one under his chest, the other between his body and the tunnel. Head first upside down. Hundreds of feet below the surface. In the pitch black ink darkness. Thousands of feet down a narrow winding cave tunnel that takes over an hour to traverse.

The tunnel he took was the wrong tunnel. It was just a random fissure he mistook for an entrance. It was a dead end.

FUUUCK THAT

When the rescue team arrived, the narrow area of the cave that John had entered meant that only a handfull of the rescuers were even small and skinny enough to get to him. And then only one person at a time could fit. Several of the rescuers themselves also got stuck and had to be pulled out. When the first rescuer did get to him, all they could see were his running shoes and calves. At times he would go into fits of uncontrollable sheer panic kicking his calves and feet around uselessly and screaming wildly. They eventually figured out that getting him to talk about his wife and daughter had a calming effect and at one point had a radio where he was able to briefly communicate with his wife. Another one of the rescuers bonded quickly with him over their shared faith, and they would softly sing religious songs together as he worked to get a harness to him and pouring gatorade down the tunnel hoping he may be able to trap a few drops. Each one commented about how apologetic John was that anyone had to risk going down there for him and how concerned he was for everyone trying to help.

Several of the highly experienced caver rescuers have never entered a cave again since that night

No. Is it about caves?

Its funny that you mention that phrase though which is of importance to a lot of the secret societies and such. Because one of the creepy arse caves Ive learned about on this 2 day youtube rabbit hole obsession is on private property in Oregon thats owned by a masonic lodge. Many people have snuck in it and explored and and filmed it, so now the Masons built a fortress gate across the entrance to keep people out

This is a large lava cave with about an 6 to 8 foot ceiling that goes on for miles. Where it gets creepy is that about a mile or so in, in the complete ink black dead arse quiet still dank creepiness of this perpetually dark narrow cave, it widens into an area where wooden bleachers have been built on either side of the cave facing each other. Theres probably a space of about 15 or so feet between the bleachers.

What the hell happens in front of the people sitting in those bleachers deep inside a cave beyond sight or sound in bum frick eqypt Oregon?






Heres the new gate. Which of course has to include creepy symbology. As above, so below..

Not caves but it's set in the catacombs in paris so you're underground most of it which kind of leads to that sense of impending dread. It was a decent flik, some of it was a bit hokey for my liking but overall it was alright. I was just thinking about it because of the caves.
