Answer to Question 1

After 7 to 10 days without rain, grasses will wilt and should be watered to a 4- to 6-inch
depth to prevent permanent damage to the lawn.

Answer to Question 2

For cool season turfgrasses, fertilizer applications should be made four times per year.
The first application should be made in early spring to break dormancy, heal injuries,
and prevent the invasion of summer and annual weeds. The second application should
be made in the spring to help turf survive heat encountered later in the season. The
third application should be in late summer to stimulate new tillers and rhizomes for
the following year and also to help maintain a vigorous and green turf until the fall.
The fourth application should be made in the late fall to promote root growth until the
ground freezes and to aid in early spring greening.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
