Leftover flower and
garden seeds can be used
later in the year, or even
next spring, if they are
properly stored; dry
quarters away from any
spray materials (especially
weed killers) is suggested.
They should be stored in the
original containers in order
to keep identity. Also, keep
them away from pets,
children, and livestock.
Crabgrass control con
tinues to be very difficult in
many lawn and turf areas.
This is a very aggressive
weed that takes over during
late summer and fall; in the
spring the plants are dead
and the area needs re
seeding or re-soddmg.
Crabgrass plants grow from
seeds each summer; the best
control method is to treat the
area with a pre-emergence
crabgrass control weed
killer; this can be bought
mixed with fertilizer, or used
as a spray. The time of
application is mid to late
April when the forsythia
blossoms are falling to the
ground. Several applications
may be needed over a period
of years in order to get good
control. Next summer every
effort should be made to
keep the plants from going to
seed. As long as new seeds
are allowed to develop and
blow over the area, control
will be more difficult. Act
now to control crabgrass
later this summer.
