The mother of all lawn weeds, crabgrass, is easy to control and even eradicate. A healthy and vigorous lawn will choke it out and any rogue plants that are spotted can be hand pulled before they go to seed. This single crabgrass plant, if left to flower and seed, can produce hundreds of new plants that will germinate and establish next year. ANDREW MESSINGER

A Day of Quiet

November 27, Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. Morning: I hear the screech owl, the great-horned owl, the Cooper’s hawk, Carolina wren, white-throated sparrow, chirps of the cardinal, red-breasted nuthatch, the cooo of the mourning dove; songs of rooster, flicker, dark-eyed junco. Titmouse, blue jay. Wind, barely a breeze, whispers haaaaaaaa in wind language, lovingly. Tranquility. Peace. I’m alive — ping of chill in the air, my skin zings. This sacred silence is why I moved here 40 years ago. But it’s completely gone now. And why? Was our designation of “green community” just a photo-op? A lie?
