Hey Mope.....
 
Got some strange tree action happening here. Aspens dumping their
leaves while still green, maples dropping their seed pods before
they're mature, Virginia Creeper turning colors before the berries are
ripe, etc. Anything like that happening in your neck of the woods?

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

Interesting. This summer has been cooler than normal over here. And a
little wetter, too. Maybe the plants simply don't like abnormal
weather......

That would be my guess, especially when it's happening to different plant
species. May be an early fall leaf drop this year..

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

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...

Well at least you didn't get mowed down or flooded, but it would have been
nice to get some rain. Katrina brought around 3 inches up here when it hit,
and now it looks like Rita will dump some on us too next week. Hope you get
some soon.

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.

Grass or broadleaf weeds? In the lawn? Where do you live?

driveway.

Round-up, you can add a soil sterilant like primatol to prevent re-growth.

Most definitely. One cousin lives in Santa Fe with a second
home in Seguin. His brother lives outside of Austin, in Jonestown.
Their father lives in Dallas.
Haven't been down since last year at this time (Austin has grown
like wildflowers), but try to visit them once every couple of years.
