Meanwhile, my backyard has checked out. It was nice while it lasted.

Yep, it has been hot with low humidity and breezy in North Raleigh, which is a trifecta of danger for tall fescue.

I live in southern pa. Were going to be high 90s all week. No rain in past 3 weeks.

My tall fescue is barely surviving due to having a lot of shade I just hope it stays green through September.

live in the desert southwest….where we really have zero business growing grass / lawns. It’s been over 100 for several days this late spring….Water is VERY expensive and we also have water restrictions. No watering on Mondays…We are allowed to water every other day before 11 A.M. I don’t have a large lawn and I believe most of the grass I have is Bermuda grass. I have found that “hand watering” is what has kept my grass alive…The built in sprinklers just don’t cut it. Hand watering seems to be the solution…however, it’s more work.

No rain here either. My lawn too is looking ragged. Temps in the 90s all week

Great video - It's gonna be a hot summer!!! I realize that no matter what, in ground irrigation or basic sprinklers...come August EVERYONE'S fescue is fried. Im Ok with fescue season being over and maintaining as best you can at this point until early September overseed. For now, watering is in Gods hands 🙏

We just went under contract on a house. Gonna be refering here for all my lawn tips.

Your yard looks nice

3rd year on GCI TTTF here. This summer is the first summer I've noticed that the yard is able to hold on longer before showing drought stress. I've only watered hot spots and typically those spots will typically bounce back within an hour.

Southern California, no rain in the past two months or so. Hitting 106 this weekend in city. This summer is gonna be record breaking.

We are going thru the same thing here in Eastern Pennsylvania. It drives me a little crazy after all the work we do to keep it. But that’s Lawn Life.

Here is south east Ohio my yard has also chked out. Horrible the last 3 weeks no rain sight.

@Mr. Ferguson Lawn Would you follow Super-Sod fertilizing schedule for a zoysia lawn? I am also in central NC. I'm finally glad to find a channel where the person (you) is located in NC. thanks!

Don't feel bad I got a nice diy irrigation setup and I still have heat stress with me watering each zone 2-3 times a week for 20 to 30 minutes each cycle, starting at 5 am. I will be moving the zones that get twice a week up to 3 times.

I always stop putting stripes in my lawn before it gets hot. It seems to help just a bit. Once we hit those 90 plus days NC it’s a rap regardless.

Be interesting to see if it bounces back... Looks like 40 percent chance of rain this afternoon aka weatherman talk for it ain't gonna rain. Have an awesome day.

The battle has begun for me to my friend ....mid to high 90s all week 105 with heat index no rain in sight

Have you ever thought of harvesting rain? Here in WI the trend is to use IBC Tote Tanks. Small ones are 250 gallons and I have seen some 330 gallon ones for sale.

While im here in Texas with tttf Artimuss blend with a 10 month old lawn shes stressed but still green.
