    78757 is full of sunshine. Bust on the rain. Try again tonight/tomorrow.

    Any ideas on where in Austin I could find a general 15-15-15 or 13-13-13 granular fertilizer for fruit trees? I am not seeing anything at Lowe’s/Home Depot on their websites. Tractor supply seems to have some but nothing is showing in stock on their website for the Cedar Park store.

    Markets seem to completely ignore what Trump says AND does. This bull market is going to have to see sustained downturn before it gets scared. And as long as Fed doesn’t resume the path of raising interest rates....the party lives on.

    Anything going to make it to the Governor for signature outside of this marijuana? Discussion. Change in property taxes? The education bill ?

    What is actually likely to pass both Houses and be signed by the Governor?

    Bring on the rain overlords. All the way through July. No complaining here.

    Guessing a type of oxalis like oxalis triangularis or oxalis regnellii.

    Wanted to put down an application of lawn fertilizer this past weekend. All the stores around me were sold out of milorganite. So I went with a liquid application of Hasta Gro Lawn by Medina. Never used it before. I am interested to see how it goes.

    Yep this. The girl shouldn’t care about the ring.

    That looks like a shitload of work for just a party barn.

    I generally flit southwest. I flew AA today on a 2 leg trip for the first time in at least 5 years. Both legs were delayed. Yippee.

    Out of curiosity, how is the state paying for this? Will this money he paid directly to the school district by the state? Is it a 1 time annual payment or is it spread out ?

    In following up to my above post, my yard is completely overrun with crabgrass. It’s weird seeing as it’s only February and I put down preemergent in October. I have a St Augustin lawn with large mature pecan trees. I have decided to avoid anything with atrazine as a post emergent herbicide. I am looking at buying Tenacity (Mesotrione) which appears to be one of the few post emergent to control crabgrass in St Augustin. Anyone have experience with Tenacity?

    All right. Let’s see the terms of this negotiated deal. Let’s see both sides of Congress pass the legislation. And then let’s watch Trump sign it.

    If Congress came to a compromise and passed it and then Trump vetoed, sure Trump would own the next shutdown. Congress could fund every department except DHS and then continue to negotiate on DHS. But if they just do nothing, that isn’t a winning position. Hell, just pass another CR to avoid the shutdown.

    Nothing to be gained from another shutdown. If congress can’t pass legislation to keep the government open, that is where the blame will fall.

    ^^ Trump’s base remains intact.

    McConnell isn’t going anywhere.

    Where are our free market supporters? Remove the law and let the market sort it out. We should have laws to boost private enterprise profits. Besides, if I realize I am out of liquor on a Sunday morning, I should be able to buy it. Even better would be if Amazon Prime Now could deliver it within 2 hours.

    Trump's Trade War

    swraith replied to F250's topic in Cloak Room

    It’s clear that China’s trade volumes with the US are shrinking. China’s GDP growth rate is falling and equity valuations are falling. However the article clearly states the US is suffering as well. US exports to China have fallen more than imports so the net value has worsened. It appears US GDP growth rate is also slowing and equity valuations have flat lined. Maybe China does roll over and implements trade reforms to protect US Intellectual property and China also engages in mandatory purchases of US exports to balance the trade deficit (something that we don’t even need). And then maybe we return to GDP growth rates we were producing prior to the trade war. I would posit a more likely outcome is a continued stalemate and escalation of the trade war. This likely would lead to even further economic slowing or even contraction. And maybe China will continue to suffer greater economic loss relative to the US, but that doesn’t mean the US is “winning”.

    Congress will not reach an agreement by Feb 15. The drama will continue for the reality TV star.
  23. swraith
    Maybe so. But why does McConnell want it to continue?

    That video made my day.

    I put down what I thought would be a good fall preemergent in October. Scott’s crabgrass and grassy weed preventer. With the January warm up, my yard has exploded with lush green weeds. Had to break out the lawn mower this past weekend just to keep them at bay. Mostly my issue is with grassy weeds. Last year I had lots of poa and I likely still have it this year but my real problem this year looks more like rescuegrass. Anybody have a different granular preemergent they could recommend for this spring? Should I just let the winter weeds die when it eventually warms up it proactively treat them now? If treat them now, then how?
