What a difference a day makes!
A check of the weather on Wednesday showed a week or more ahead of dry weather. Also on Wednesday this week, the Dedham Westwood Water District announced the imposition of a water ban on any lawn watering. It noted a low water supply and no forseeable opportunity to replenish it with rain.
Today, the forecast includes a 30 to 40 percent chance of heavy rain on Thursday afternoon and evening. There's also a chance of rain on Friday and Saturday. For the sake of green lawns and our water supply, let's hope we get it!

We used to spray our lawn with a company that said they used non-toxic chemicals. The loss of bees, frogs, pollinators and birds in our garden was dramatic.
Great topic! I'd love to see more from the environmental action committee on encouraging less use of pesticides/weed killers/fertilizers in town.
what a great way to encourage people to plant native, it gives me so much pleasure to see who is visiting my plants.
