Giving the Green One More Try
About a month and a half ago, we overseeded the front lawn with a new heat-tolerant strain of grass seed.
Winter rains have been coming in regularly at a rate of about 1 storm every week and a half. This provideds a great soaking and the first one came right after I seeded the lawy.
I've added my own water, via a ten minute sprinkler session, about once in between each storm.
This is how the new grass is looking now, I think it will be ready for its first mowing this weekend.
I haven't started my lawn mower since September, since the grass went completely dormant after I stopped watering due to our water rationing restrictions. I just hope it will still start.
After that, I'll need to work on de-thatching those brown spots of St. Augustine grass.
