You might have one more frost. Always best to do your planting after that last one.

Then it's on.

Doubtful.

it's going to be a hot dry summer (least that what old farmers tell me )

I predict 2 hurricanes.

Not my grass. I plant a strand of Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent, and Northern California Sensemilia.

Your grass is too complicated.:boxing_smiley:

The amazing stuff about this is that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night.

I planted grass seeds about 3 weeks ago. It's already about 2.5 " tall. I bet there's only 2 weeks more of this weather before the really hot stuff comes around for good and grass planting season is on hold until fall...

Apparently I need your help. Grass really took off in the back yard and side yard, everything is working great but the front yard which has a really big slope is a bitch. The little bit of grass that actually grew looks like it's dying and i sprayed weed killer and the weeds are still alive and kickin. I think i might hirer the front yard out in the fall because apparently I'm not doing something right. Maybe if i use a spray on fertilizer because the i'm thinking the dry fertlizer might be washing to the bottom of the slope.

There are alot of Mexicans out of work right now. My Brother in law went down to the Latino section of town and picked up two guys, paid them $100 each for the day. He said that they did a fantastic job to his backyard. Alot of those guys are out of work and need the money. They are professionals, and as long as you find one that can speak some English, it would be easy to get them to do what you want.

Yeah, because April is "Support Illegal Immigrants" month.

Show me a landscaper who will do just as good of a job for that price and I'll show you if I give a damn who does it...

So grass is best planted in the hottest months.

Most Bermuda fields are planted in dead of summer.

That makes sense because Bermuda is a hot weather grass. Cool weather fescue should always be planted in the fall when possible. Many people plant it in the spring at it looks great at first, then the summer heat comes and if it is in direct sun and doesn't stay watered it will die off/brown because the root system is not established. It can work in the spring, but fall is much better.

Same with fertilizer and such, everyone always puts down fertilizer in the spring but the they ignore doing it in the fall/winter when it is most important. What you do in to your grass in the fall has more of an affect on how it will be the following year than in the spring.

I tilled my yard, mixed in some topsoil and fertilizer and overseeded it with run of the mill grass seed. I also fenced it off so the dogs couldn't get in it and watered it late in the day around dusk so it could absorb the water without it evaporating off.

one thing I am a little disappointed in...this is the offseason! For a couple cases of beer and maybe some burgers on the grill, the huddle could have tailgated at Cosmo's this weekend and gotten most of this work done in an hour!!!

Where are you brain's sometimes people!

Oh...and AK...you truly are an idiot with comments like that...just wanted to share!

fixed for further truthiness.

How much you want to bet that AK is only going to respond to sunbunny's comments to AK (or mine now that I've gotten into the thread) and not any of the guy's comments? That's just how he rolls.
