Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Provincial flower of Ontario. The Trillium. Bloom early spring and temperamental to habitat.
Most bloom white , some pink.

I got a bunch trillium growing wild out back, wife transplanted some into the landscaped areas.
Quoted from mbwalker:Take a look at Tenacity. It kills by stopping photosynthesis (weeds turn white), not by poison(s). Sounds like you'll be seeding too(?), and this stuff can be applied over seeds. It is both a pre and post emergent.
Pricey at ~$60/8oz, but you barely need any per gallon (1/2 teaspoon), 8oz will last for ages, so really cheaper in the long run. Also, it works slow (i.e. weeks, not days) and you might (will) need a 2nd application. I'm a big fan of it.

"Frequently Asked Questions about Tenacity Herbicide
What is Tenacity Herbicide?
Manufactured by Syngenta, Tenacity is one of the safest and most effective weedkillers on the market. It targets and effectively kills weeds like crabgrass, nutsedge, dandelions, clover, and others, either before they sprout (pre-emergent control) or after you notice patches of weeds on your lawn (post-emergent).
Is Tenacity Herbicide safe for use around children and pets?
Once this weedkiller has dried on your lawn, it is safe and non-toxic for children and pets. The active ingredient is mesotrione, a sulfur compound derived from the bottlebrush plant. Tenacity was granted a ‘reduced-risk’ status by the Environmental Protection Agency and does not contain cancer-causing ingredients.
Is Tenacity Herbicide toxic?
This herbicide is toxic to many kinds of weeds but has been deemed safe to use on lawns where children and pets play.
How does Tenacity Herbicide work?
The compounds in Tenacity disrupt photosynthesis in weeds by blocking enzymes needed for plant growth. You will see the leaves on the weeds turn pale as the weed dies, so healthy grass can take over."

I have to try this or another product called sedge hammer. I have nutsedge that looks like crap when it grows faster than the rest of the grass in the summer.
Can't sleep! Cutting my grass tomorrow with trim.40 volt black and decker battery trimmer charged and ready. Mower blade is sharp and Horney to cut some grass!!
Not exactly lawn related but put this fence up last weekend in 90 degree heat. Still need to add post caps and put a light back on the outside post.
Needed to hide my firewood and misc yard waste repository since it faces the street. Lucked into 6 large Crown Cork & Seal plastic pallets to keep wood off the ground. Will need to burn these two rotted ones.
And yes, the shed needs some attention
PXL_20220522_123847792 (resized).jpgPXL_20220523_123720469 (resized).jpgQuoted from RyanStl:I ordered the Tenacity, surfacant, and sprayer last night. I'll apply this weekend. Hope it works as well as everyone says.
I've had great results with it, but patience is a virtue w/that stuff (and probably a 2nd application). Rather odd seeing white 'weeds' in the yard. 
The other thing you might want to try is some blue dye from a place like Tractor Supply, Rural King, etc. Makes it easy to spot what was sprayed and what was missed. It's not permanent, so if you get some on landscaping/house/whatever...it'll fade after a couple of days. But no doubt, some will end up on your hands!
Here's a pic I took long time ago of something turning white after getting blasted w/Tencaity:

You know how Amazon shows what people also bought when you buy something. I saw that dye and thought it didn't need. I don't care if I hit a spot twice. I'm going whole hog.

Thank you! I'll probably give this a shot.

The pride of my Stihl fleet is a SE61 vacuum cleaner - everybody seems to have a backpack blower and chainsaw but guys do a double take on the vacuum.
Front yard was sod put down a little over a year ago when house was completed. Back yard was field grass that I have been treating and overseeding a tall fescue seed. The back yard will take some time to get sorted out but starting to look good. I have a few yellow/brown areas in the front yard sod. Not sure what is going on there but looks decent. Just purchased a Spartan mower that has a really nice cut.
lawn (1) (resized).jpglawn (2) (resized).jpgAnother beautiful property! Love the deck over looking the pool And backyard. Grass looks fantastic ...like to see the mower
Just found this thread. A few pics of our little patch.
Things a bit messy around the Bali Hut at the moment - i built it 14 years ago and time for a rethatch now. I recently built the steel arch over our entrance, can't wait until the vine climbs all over and the yellow flowers are dangling from the top.
Lawn was all couch, but over the years has transitioned to mainly buffalo - we get around 1 metre of rain per year which the buffalo loves. Not unusual for our whole 2 acres to be 10cm underwater for a few days at a time in heavy rainfall.

need to see that blade a little higher Rob.

I find those to work the best versus the trigger models. Beautiful yard!
I've been enjoying No Mow May for the pollinators. We only have a small patch of lawn over the leach field. The rest is woods.
At one point I had to mow after the dandelions went to seed. I found that if I did half the lawn (small electric corded mower - no fumes, quiet), alternating each week, it would keep enough flowers around for the honeybees.

Rained hard last night the peonies are drooping; but still look amazing .
And pic of zinnias and geraniums.

Was that the same neighbor that absconded with the mower grass catcher or something like that awhile ago?

Amazon won’t ship to me. Wondering if that is because I am residential?

Weird, I got mine thru Amazon. Here's the link of my purchase from the seller: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DUTNF0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title
Is that the same seller as your purchase?
