My st Augustine grass still holding on, couple small areas that get a lot of the sun are starting to yellow a bit. It does appear that it has slowed down growing a titch

My grass still looks okay better than most in my area but having to pour the water to it to keep it that way. Also I have a drip line buried that is part of the system so foundation getting some water as well. Hoping we get some rain soon but not overly optimistic.

heck with the grass, i'm concerned about my house foundation. i started watering around the foundation this week Same here. Water bill was $310 last month, I bet mine tops $400 this month. Still $400 is better than another $20K to fix the foundation, AGAIN.

I’m going to transition. OMG did I say that out loud? I’m going back to bermuda grass. SA is to sickly and requires way to much water. I’m letting the SA die out and throwing out bermuda seed to replace it. I just started my transition this week.

Hope you have no trees, cause shade kills.

The bright side is that it will go semi dormant and I will only have to mow once every three weeks until October.

Running sprinklers from the well every day. 16 zones spit up and they alternate days.

Grass is dumb.
When I retire, rocks, ground covers, trees. and shrubs.

I am running the sprinklers 3 times per week, yard looking great.
We had rain and heavy every week until just recently.
