Fall 2020 is here

Fall weather is here, so this means it’s time to add pre-emergent to your lawns. Pre-emergent in the fall prevents winter germinating weeds from growing in the spring. One of the most evasive weeds I’ve seen in the neighborhood is poa-annua (click to read more about this weed).

Fall is the ideal time to get tulips, daffodils, crocus, and other bulbs into the ground when it’s cool but before it freezes. The weather is cool, so get outside and work on your lawn and garden for next year.

Venetian grilled chicken

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (reduce if using dark soy)
  • 1 can pineapple chunks with juice
  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 6-8 boneless skinless chicken breast (more depending on what you need)

Directions

  • In a small bowl, mix the first 5 ingredients. Reserve 1/2 cup for basting; cover and refrigerate. Pour the remaining marinade into a large container. Add chicken; turn to coat. Refrigerate, covered, for 2-4 hours, 8 hours is best or overnight.
  • Drain chicken, discarding marinade.
  • Grill chicken on an oiled grilled grate over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170°; baste occasionally with reserved marinade during the last 5 minutes.
