That's stunning!

Dude, this weather is nuts!

Lawn looks amazing though and those stripes are gonna POP before sunset. Make sure to get out and get some more pics

That looks great. It sure got hot quick! I'm running my irrigation now during the heat of the day to try and cool the blades down and limit the stress this week.

Love that overhead shot. Nice checkerboard action.

Thanks guys!
@shadowlawnjutsu - half of your lawn is BlueBank - I think we made the right choice!

@OnTheLawn - weather is definitely wild right now. We went out to dinner so I'll have to wait for either early AM shots now or tomorrow. They still won't look this fresh just darker.

@dleonard11122 - I just ran a full cycle on mine. Checked my doorbell camera and said screw it...let's irrigate.

@bf7 - purely accidental. I've been burning in stripes N-to-S so the ones from today made a little checkerboard action.

@OnTheLawn - here you go. I guess my reno has officially passed the, "take pictures only in the AM, or sunset" phase. :lol:

Burning stripes (literally since it's 95F)

 

[gravely G20 pro]

Awesome stripes!!!

 

[bf7]

Stripes are popping! Mid-day pics are the best for stripes when the sun is behind you.

 

[ericgautier]

Looks amazing!

 

[JerseyGreens]

Thanks @ericgautier and @gravely G20 pro!

Applied:
2oz per K Propi
1G per K carrier
Wanted to include 0.15 lbs N via AMS for the soil but it's already 80F outside.

Watered in as fast as possible but I did have to hit pause as two showers were happening at once inside...not happy about that but lets see what happens given the high temps.

Haven't really checked in on the forum much since selling my house but checked out your journal today. Everything is looking amazing! Nice work!

Thanks man - my offer is still on the table. you are absolutely more than welcome to take the Allett out and reel mow this whenever you want.

If you get the itch and miss your JD!

Ha! Thanks man. I've been taking care of my parents' lawn and even did a renovation on half of their lawn to take care of Poa T and bentgrass. I'm satisfying my itch for lawn care but, truthfully, I don't miss reel mowing all that much. My body thanks me for no longer reel mowing as well!

Good stuff man on that reno!

Tell me about it - the results after the fact are great but while cutting back and forth....back again..."oh, that stripe is crooked, back again..." its a bit cumbersome yet rewarding.

 

[JerseyGreens]

Any takers?

Haven't used herbicide on the reno since Tenacity at seed down.

The time has come...these look some gnarly grassy weeds though.

 

[JerseyGreens]

This looks great:



When I open up the turf canopy I'm seeing lots of what I believe to be melting out. Clearly the new shoots are coming in green but I'll have to keep an eye on it.

This is why most folks here say seed at 2-3lbs per K when going full KBG...overcrowding is a hassle to correct after the fact.

 

[OnTheLawn]

Sure it's melting out and not just old clippings breaking down?

Pretty sure of it. I tugged on some blades and pulled out a bunch of different colors.

I'm not complaining as it's fighting it without much issue. Fingers crossed.

Azoxy + Clearys tank mix (a very expensive one albeit) will be my next fungicide application.

 

[JerseyGreens]

Got in a lovely mow - 0.75inches. Single pass. I see stragglers. Will get em next time.

I'm definitely dealing with fungus in my overcrowded areas but it's not spreading.

Most can't see this (except us nuts) but I'm thinking the overall yellowing I see is from lack of N/plants fighting for food (had this in the Fall as well).

I guess my options are to continue ET watering and just stress out the weaklings or just keep pumping this full of nutrients all summer and thin it out like crazy late August...love to hear ideas!
