Too WARM

What is going on?????????This weather from Spokane through Pasco and into Boise has been way too warm for this time of year. What does this mean to our yards?
Well I was on a property two weeks ago in Richland that had all the pear trees in full bud. I haven't been back to see if they were nipped by the cold last week but this is going to change a lot of our typical maintenance practices.
I think the key things to be thinking about are doing drenches on your trees so they systemically pick up the imidicloprid ai and I if you had crab grass problems around your walk ways last year...it would be a good idea to treat that with a pre-emergent just 12 inches off the cement. The reason why is the cement will warm up the ambient temperature in the soil and we could see weed break though earlier than normal.
as always, email me if you have any questions tedasmith001@gmail.com
