Well that lawn got watered today.

[mr2mike]

Jesus' Landscape crew finally watered my lawn.

Price was right.

[suntan]

Mowed and put down fertilizer before the rains started.

Same here, first thing I did after getting home from work with the amount of rain it was showing..couldn't miss the opportunity to fertilize

It’s been so hot I think I have mowed my lawn like twice this year. Maybe 3 times.

No growth.

I took advantage in the break in the rain this aft to overseed the areas my dogs killed over the winter. Threw down some costco seed and mixed with Scotts Turf Builder soil. FYI, if you choose to use that turf builder enriched soil, pick it up in a truck. I got my wife to get it, and her SUV smells like shit inside now. Like literal manure. It's pretty gross.

Is this a cinch bug or just a young one of those bigger cunts that likes to come out in fall?

[ThePenIsMightier]

I can't tell, but the other Autumn bug you're talking about is called a Box Elder Bug.

[firebane]

Still a ways to go but first mow today.

[andyg16]

Ended up ripping out everything in the front flower bed last month mostly bushes and plants. Replaced it with a larger raised flower bed that you can see it in the background, first time ever doing anything landscaping related and I'm very happy with the results. Wrapped up the front yard yesterday with adding edging around the tree area in the middle. That's probably it for this year.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Whoa! That looks incredible!

[arcticcat522]

Glad the battle is almost over. Full mud pit last year, half was mud this year. Now just some spots from the dog.

[littledan]

there is a way you can turn multiple dog spots into just 1, larger spot.

She is 15, so I imagine I won't have the same problem next year. Seems in good shape most days though

[16hypen3sp]

Ah, nothing like some freshly laid sod. Now what do I need to do to keep it looking this way other than increase my water bill?

[ThePenIsMightier]

Phosphorus from a Turf Starter fertilizer.

Yep. I'd just buy a hand "Whirl" spreader if you don't already have a big cumbersome spreader.
And maybe it's just me, but I'd probably only put about half the amount they recommend just to be overly cautious about burning brand new turf. I think that means you use the same hole setting on the spreader, but walk faster.
Use a kitchen scale and go by mass.

Any fertilizer is better than nothing, but fucking up and burning things is so demoralizing.

I cant my grass green for the life of me
