The allergist who did my skin-panel test also gave me a very helpful which-species-which-month chart... which I can't find right now. Closest I can find quickly is this one:

That's what I was wondering, too. Has anyone sprayed off their porch/furniture? Is most of the yellow gone?

I don’t see the yellow pollen cones any more. So unless another pine species kicks in I’m betting it’s almost over. The next warm up will tell for sure.

When the males cones (look like caterpillars) fall you will know pine pollen season is done for sure.

Hopefully todays wind will knock off any remaining bit left. I hose off the tops of my trash bins when I do my plant watering every day. This seems to be a really good gauge on which to measure the pollen. The last two days only a tiny trace has reappeared. My porch will be reassembled this week most likely! It seemed like a shorter than normal pollengeddon this year.

Me too. I washed, vacuumed and detailed both my cars yesterday. That was a lot of work, but they (especially one of them) were so dirty I had to do it, regardless if they get some more pollen on them or not.

With that being said, I'm holding off at least until Friday on putting on my furniture back in place on my screened-in porch. I've got everything under cover right now. I took the seat cushion covers off the couch cushions and washed them before covering everything up a few weeks back. I cant wait to hose down the porch and enjoy it again.
