Triple cut, De-Tahtched in both directions, then rolled to get the spring started of right for year 2 in the back yard Reno. Then I hung this beauty my wife found. This is for you @wardconnor

The forsythia and daffodils starting to bloom in lower part of county. Put down 1st preM app (mesotrione). Soil temps anticipated to be in 50s by middle next week along with higher air temps. I would have waited till soil temps were a little higher before putting down preM, but I won't have time for yard work this weekend.
Sunday is looking like a decent day for some cleanup that I've been slacking on like cutting back my ornamental grasses for new growth and tying up branches that I trimmed off the dogwood which is probably heading into its last year
Time to pickup some dimension and order some Magical so I have it when the time comes which also means it's time to clean up the shed
Where are you at, says MD/DMV in your info? I'm in northern MD and the soil temps were looking a little too low still I thought, I was guessing probably 2 or 3 more weeks until the prodiamine goes down for me anyhow.

I'm in MD but close to DC. Mid 40's here. I prefer to hit it early so if I get busy, I don't miss the optimal window. I also do a split app of prodiamine. 2 apps, one now and one in april. Both the 3 mo rate. This way I'm covered for crab which is mid 50's and an extra dose for goose which is mid 60's. Yesterday, my soil temps peaked at low 50's and it's going to be warmer today and tomorrow...
Last year, I timed each app I put down for weather and temps but I ended up spending a ton of time in the yard. While I really enjoyed it, I'm trying to cut back and have time for other things so I'm aiming for 1-2 days a month for fert and squirt.
Thanks! I'm trying the Matt martin approach. Another benefit I think would be if I missed a spot the first round, I have another chance to cover it for round 2.
I was planning on split app's as well, first time using prodiamine and it will be granular. Last year was the first time I had ever put down a pre-emergent (newer to this stuff) and I did the Scott's/tenacity starter first because I wanted to do some seeding, followed up by Dithiopyr in May.
Was kind of thinking around Apr 1 for the first one and May 15 for the 2nd, give or take. Seem reasonable? Trying to think ahead 'in case' I need to seed again this fall and get the second app in early enough so that it doesn't interfere with that.
Got some seed down on my cousins crabgrass plantation of a yard today after a quick raking. I wanted to get it down before one of our mediocre snowfalls but I was too busy. I've got the tenacity ready to go!
Pulled the grass plugs out of my garage (never got around to building racks with growing lamps). Hoping to get them in the ground next week when the sun comes out.
A great feeling when I managed to mow the tops off the grass last night. Got up this morning we had an inch of rain last night, at least I now know where I need to level with sand next time.!!
Friday 03.15 : spray 1st app {of 2} of Pre_M
Saturday 03.16: spring pruning with the wife & some transplanting
Sunday 03.17: local dump of pruned stuff
Dead palm trees! My neighbors palms died 4 years ago with a cold front that lasted for a month. It's an eye sore that he haven't removed them. The area I live in lost 75 percent of its palms that year. My bluegrass/rye mix does great until late August. But then it's Reno time in September. I'd take the one month struggle for soft bluegrass year round.
I'm only 28 degrees away from putting down my preemergent however
