    Whats your weather like May 2024

    Foggy and overcast, but warmish at 10 degrees with very little wind, key thing is overnight temperatures are not in frost territory.

    Best approach to planting grass seed after removing weeds

    I think your list of what to do sounds pretty good, but I think doing the forking a bit closer together would be better.

    Blueberry plant issues

    they are specialist plant pots so it should have drainage and when i fed them i didnt really look as if the soil in the pot was too wet. I also get the feeling that it may be hard to find a larger pot
