The best forum on the net. I couldn’t get my own going on this site, so this is where I hang my hat when no posting on here.
Alot of useful information about a variety of plants. Also seems to be a fellow independent lawn/garden lover.
Girl, transplanted fro CA to IN, gardens and tries to figure out her little world. Excellent pictures on her site and she’s in Indiana so that gets a thumbs up from me.
Landscape and Garden Weed Control (.pdf format) 
A great weed control paper. Talks about safety when spraying, talks about almost all the major chemicals (and brand names) and what pest plants they effect. This is provided by the Utah State University Extension Office.
Purdue Turfgrass Extension Publications (html and .pdf format)
A great collection of Turf How-To’s. These are from the Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN.
Info on the emerald ash borer
The Texas A&M University System
A collection of wood boring insect information. Focuses on wood borers native to Texas, but the information is valid for most regions.
Organic Lawn Care For the Cheap and Lazy
I am in no way an “Organic” believer, however, this site does have some great advice on “cultural” practices.
Best tip for Summer Lawn Care: Take A Vacation!
Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences has it right.
Managing Adult Japanese Beetles
University of Kentucky Entomolgy department has some great tips on this nasty pest.

Do you know of an “online rain gauge” - meaning, a site where I plug in my zip code & it tells me how much rain a specific area has received over a set time period?

Unfortunately Mike I do not know of such a site. Although it would be very nice to know, especially with the drought like conditions some areas are experiencing right now.

I wish I had the time, and more know-how on fixing some little things on this wordpress layout.
All you have to do is right click and copy link location, then paste in address bar of browser and add zipcode to the end. Worked for me. Thanks art and MikeN
