Well, I’m sure we are all seeing it or going to see it. This heat is taking a toll on our grasses and many of you will be seeing damaged turf from it. If you have an irrigation system, make sure it is functional. If you do not, try breaking out the hose and helping your lawn and landscape out a little. This entire week of heat around the 100 mark is going to be a killer. I have found an interesting article I received from K-State on the different grasses to plant in the area, which will be good for when it comes time to aerate, seed, verticut, and fertilize this fall.

I am new to this blogging stuff. If you are not able to simply click on the link, then just copy and paste it. I’m sure over time I’ll figure out how this all works!
