Yea, quite a bit actually, it's from the hot dry summer we've had.

hot and dry here which is good for the vineyards.

Finally cooling off here, which is good for everything else.

Down to the forties at night, high seventies during the day.
Put the top back on the Bronco last week, timing's perfect.

Hot and dry here also, the pecans aren't filling out. Unless we get
some rain real soon they won't be worth picking.

Did you get much from Rita?

No rain, quite a bit of wind. It went off to the east of us. We were
hoping for a big storm, for much needed rain. I was hoping that the
storm would hit and knock our power out for a few day, good excuse to
stay home. The only real effect from Rita was that everyone that came
up this way emptied out all of the gas stations...

LOL!! My cousin has a 125 gallon cap. on his diesel F350. It took
him some 17 hours to drive from his place in Santa Fe to his ranch in Seguin
on Wednesday, that's messed up.

What are you trying to control, and where do you want to use it?

Since we're on the subject....BROADLEAFS and freakin' clover!!!! My
beautiful bahia was invaded with that ****ty St. Augustine thatch native
Floridians call grass when a new neighbor moved in. I just got done
going round and round with TrueGreen Chemlawn after they ripped me off.
Had their service all spring and summer and it did nothing at all except
slightly burn/singe the edges of the leaves on the broadleaf and weeds
and make them curl a bit, but they didn't die. In fact, they grew hearty
all summer. Had their "manager" come out twice and he wrote down some
things and said it would be corrected. It wasn't. I was then told I
would get a complete refund since the beginning of my service. It never
came. Finally, after having a reporter call the *******s, they sent me a
refund check in 3 days!!. Truegreen sucks and are rip off artists. I was
told the drunk who was spraying my yard was either using the wrong
chemical, watered-down chemicals, or not enough chemicals! A bit more
digging reveals the company employs not only drunks, but criminals, as
many of their employees have multiple police records. The company also
had problems with the Federal Trade Commission regrarding unethical
telemarketing practices and the local BBB banks are chock full of
complaints regarding these scumbags. Whatever you do, avoid
Truegreen/Chemlawn at all costs..at least in Tampa Bay!

Yea, those assholes give the industry a bad name and it's not just in Tampa
Bay either. They've been trying to buy my business for years, that's pretty
much how they grow anymore..buy up the small guys customer lists.

The turf in your growing zone is much different than here in Ohio, so I'm
not sure if the typical three way broadleaf herbicides/mix rates that we
use up here apply to your turfgrasses. Your local county extension agency
should be of some help in choosing the right control products.
