How do you kill pennyroyal in my field?
not sure if this helps but pennyroyal here seems to like dry ground, hence i have had a annual problem over summer...if you are able to irrigate/drown those areas mid spring/early summer you not only make it undisiarble for pennyroyal but also your grass (with urea fert) will help choke it out...other wise a good glysophate based weed killer and re-sow paddock in autumn.

Why is the temperature higher in the summer months?
Note: This response is for the northern hemisphere.... In the summer, even though the earth is slightly farther away from the sun, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. This means that the amount of time that the sun is shining on the surface in a 24 hour period is longer (longer days), and it also means that the sun's rays and energy are coming more "Straight down" at us instead of coming at an angle. The combination of the longer days (meaning the sun is warming the earth for a longer time) as well as the more direct sunlight (it doesn't have to go through as much atmosphere to get to the ground) makes the temperature higher in the summer.
Ten examples to show evaporation cause cooling?
1.During hot summers,the water is usually kept in the earthern pot to keep it cool.Water is cooled in the pot since the surface of the pot contains large pores and water seeps via these pores to outside of pot. This water evaporates and takes the latent heat for vaporisation hence retaining the water inside pot to be cooled. 2.Especially in villages,people often sprinkle water on the ground in front of their homes during hot summers. 3.Water vaporisation from leaves of trees also cools the surroundings. 4.A desert cooler cools better on a hot and dry day. 5.It is a common observation that we are able to sip hot tea(or milk) faster from a saucer than from a cup. 6.Wearing cotton clothes in summer days to keep the body cool and comfortable. 7.Put a little of spirit on your hand and wave around, the spirit evaporates rapidly and our hands feels cooler.
