Thanks this is helpful and definitely gives us a lot to think about.

Now I’m wondering if we should give up a day/night in Paris to get over that way. Curious if anyone has any opinions, as we’ve never been to Paris before. I know there’s a lot to do, but is 6 days in just Paris too much? That’s why we were considering the day trip.

Super helpful as always guys, thank you !

I’m having a similar issue all the sudden. At first I thought it was the result of the heat and drought, but with the way it is spreading I’m guessing it is something else.

See attached pictures. St Aug, NOLA area

Does this look like the effects of cinch bugs? Any remediation recs?

Sorry, does this work? The picture you provided looks like it. Is it okay to apply sedgehammer in this heat?

Thanks all of that is helpful advice. Since I’m going after it with the Celcius pretty good, will I have a window for pre-emergent this Fall? Or would I be applying to much stress on the grass in a small period of time?

If that’s not your speed, Marriott actually has several day trips with pick up/drop off from Florence. 2-3 wineries and schedules everything for you. But you are in a group of people so cheaper but not private. Rome by Limo is private

I should clarify we are trying to do this as part of the Florence portion of the trip

Going to try our hand at international travel this year with a trip to Italy early October. Looking at an itinerary of Rome - Florence - Venice. We've got a lot of the trip ironed out (thanks to the TD Travel Board), but one thing we are having trouble pinning down is the best way in which to do a day trip to some of the vineyards in the Tuscany region.

I've spent some time sorting through some of the old threads on here looking for ideas, but having a hard time finding consensus on the way of doing it. My wife and I are going for our anniversary, open to any recs. Looking to make a day of it. Is it better to book direct with a vineyard and find a way to organize travel? Anyone had any luck with a specific tour group that organizes the trip and provides transportation? Preferably small group. we don't want to spend all day travelling on a bus. 1 or 2 spots would be plenty. seen some good talk about pairing it with cooking class or horse back riding.

first timers here so forgive any ignorance! Appreciate any and all advice you all may have! :cheers: :cheers:

After this past storm season and being without power on multiple extended occasions, I find myself looking to purchase a generator for my home. I am not looking for a whole home generator (young, not in our forever home), but rather something to maybe run a couple house hold items during an extended outage. Things like tv/internet, fridge, and maybe some fans and lighting.

Doing some light reading, I’ve gotten a bit of a grasp on wattages and load. With that being said, I figured I’d come here and ask those with experience. Does anyone have any recommendations on wattage and brand when looking at just running the essentials, such as mentioned above? Any dos and don’ts? I realize it all varies by appliance etc. but just looking for some general direction, especially on brand/quality. Any advice appreciated

looking for some guidance on what appears to be large/brown patch spreading through my front lawn. Some background: it’s a St Augustine lawn in NOLA. Neighbor is an open lot, they have stopped doing lot work in the last 3 months or so and the large patch started on their property and has since spread to our joined lawn in the front.

Can large patch effectively kill my front lawn? Is there a way to remediate at this time of year? Any product recommendations?

Any and all advice appreciated!

Thanks! I think unfortunately the pics present a better pic than what I saw yesterday. To answer question, Believe it or not...Coyotes. Every couple nights or so, they’ve left presents from time to time. Maybe that’s the cause?
