How to keep your grass from dying with this warm weather and no rain.

 

Some grass is in the beginning stages of showing signs of hot spots.   It is recommended, and where to water as late at night as possible  (recommended 10 pm – 6 am) and not watering after sunrise so that the water will go into the soil and not evaporate or transpire before the plants, flowers and turf can soak up as much water as possible.  With this heat, it does feel like we are battling everyday to keep everything alive. Without water turf can go into stress quickly.

                      
If you’re an avid gardener, now is the time to consider these suggestions:
• Now is a great time to consider topdressing (or sand) warm season turf to level the lawns
• Don’t put rocks in the bottom of houseplant pots. They actually decrease drainage and aeration for the plant roots.
• Plants need an inch of water per week. What’s an inch of water? If rainfall or irrigation fills an empty Tuna Can, that’s just what plants need.
• Get in the habit of wearing a hat and sunscreen whenever you work in the sun. Skin cancer cases are on the rise.
