Forsythia in bloom! Does that mean CRABGRASS?


Yes, forsythia is in bloom! NO, that does not mean you have crabgrass already! While flowering shrubs do act as indicators for things happening in our landscapes, crabgrass does not sprout until the soil warms. So there is plenty of time for your crabgrass application. In fact putting crabgrass preventer too early without planning a "booster" application can mean having crabgrass break out later in the season. Managing crabgrass and weeds requires working around the weather, proper timing and knowing the way each product works!
