Tree maintenance is necessary on a golf course. So many spruces have reached their life expectancy and are defoliating. And numerous maples are failing and rotted/breaking apart. 32 dead/dying trees removed in the last 3 weeks. – at Michigan, USA

Oh how I miss in person teaching. This was 2018 and I was getting ready for Lawn and Landscape Weed class. It seems so long ago. Not to mention I have new loud tropical shirts for class that no one has seen yet. #NebExt

Take advantage of the warm weather and water. This is our number one call/email today. Check with a screwdriver before watering to make sure the ground is not frozen. Don't forget to take the hose off the spigot when done. #NebExt #NeWX
