Might as well post a picture... Too cold to go outside, so here's one from inside!

 

Very nice!

I just don't understand why there are people who hate the look of dormant bermuda. I think it's beautiful, and heck, it makes the evergreens in your landscaping pop!

 

We like the look of dormant bermuda....it just signifies a different season of the year.

 

 

Wow, I know it's been a mild winter so far, but green bermuda on Jan 2? Nice.

lol. Yeah had me baffled. But from suggestions here and a bit of research I'm chalking it up to Latitude 36 being far more cold tolerant than others. If it would stop raining I can get a mow in!

 

Sortta regretting my decision to plant rye grass. The lighter green circle is from it getting to tall where my Christmas tree was at.





Backyard looks really bad

Ikr?!! What is up with all the rain? :? My Yukon was hit pretty hard by fungus the second half of the season, and I hadn't prepared for it enough because I really didn't have a problem before.

And now I'm sort of wishing I would have put down Lat 36 also, being that I'm in S Ohio. My local golf course replaced all their fairways with Lat 36 and it is incredible. Oh well, I checked the NTEP trials again and Yukon is still #2 for winterkill rating. I'll stick with it.

Front looks pretty awesome to me! But yeah, maybe you should just embrace the golden tan

 

Tifsport Bermuda, did a minor overseed with PRG. Temps in So cal haven't gone under 60 during the day, about 40 is the lowest we've had. I probably didn't even need to overseed and would still have green grass.

 

 

@Killbuzz very nice! What kind of bermuda is that?

 

My backyard Centipede after mulching some leaves. Surprised it is still this green...

 

Gotta love dormant stripes!!

 

@Aawickham78 , looks great! Are you actually cutting some or just running the roller over it?

I am cutting just a little bit, I adjusted the reel down 1 mm. I got the Accu-guage for Christmas from my wife and wanted to try it out..lol

 

Seeing how it was around 80 degrees today in SoCal plus the fact that it's going to be in the upper 70s the next 10 days and no lower than 50 at night I decided to set my McLane to the lowest setting and scalp my lawn, all the old green looked like prg and maybe some Bermuda popping up, in any case let's hope I get a quick greenup. Big plans to level a few times this year as the lawn feels way to lumpy now that things have settled from last year. Did about 3 passes and filled up my green waste trash can. Might be time for a prodiamine application.

 

@erdons Nice! I miss SoCal weather! And some in-n-out, and a good California burrito! Don't miss the crazy taxes, traffic, and crime though :lol:

I'm jealous! I want to scalp so bad. :sad:

Luckily my drive to work is only about 14 min, taxes are up, I live in the city with the highest sales tax rate in the USA, so that kinda sucks but gotta put up with it, crime hasn't been too bad around me. Gotta love in n out!

 

...I live in the city with the highest sales tax rate in the USA, so that kinda sucks...

Dare I ask what the rate is?

Dare I ask what the rate is?

10.25%.

Is that the total (city and state) rate? If so, that's not too bad. Ours is the same.

Only sales tax, income tax rate is around 9% I believe. 😫

Sales tax is only a small portion. The property tax where we lived was 2.2%, here it's 1%. Income tax there is based on what you earn, so for us it was double NC income tax rate. Gas tax makes gas there an average $1 per gallon more. Our tax burden there vs here was considerably higher. Then the stupid CRV on milk jugs, bottles, and cans, .10¢ per plastic bag at the grocery store, now the new one .25¢For disposal cups at fast food/coffee shops... Its all crazy.
