Anyone else feel their lawn looks terrible in full sun? I've never totally figured out why it is...if it's heat stress, or the way the light hits from directly overhead that does it. Of course, terrible is relative...but what I mean is, you see a lot of brown that you don't normally see later in the day when the sun is blasting straight down.

That's why I only take my pictures that go on here at night :lol:

Exactly, I hate my lawn in full sun. Come evenings, I think it looks good.

Full sun means more uv light and more heat in the soil too. All of this stresses a plant that wants to be at 68F.

I think its the full sun washing out the greens you see. Professional photographers don't *like to* shoot in full sun, they use screens and filters to make the light less harsh.

So true, during the day I second guess what I've done (not enough Iron, water, N, etc). Come evening all is good.

It's just not dark green enough. This is what I strive for. https://aroundtheyard.com/forums2/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1129

That link didn't work for me...it got blocked.

@Green Hmmm...worked fine for me. FYI.
I was unable to keep myself from checking out the dark green grass.

That's weird. It was Morpheus's Iron thread. Here's a link to his flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/morpheuspa/3915406427/

@llO0DQLE, that's really dark. I guess it would tend to camouflage the effect that I'm seeing.

Plenty of time to plan for a fall reno.

The link worked for me, but it might not work outside the USA. Aroundthyard is blocked outside the USA. And yes MorpheousPa lawn and garden is really nice.

He keeps a blogs. I enjoy looking at his year end fertilizer application totals. http://thegreengreengrassofhome.blogspot.com/

I'm in Canada. ATY has a few Canadian members. I think there was also one in Japan.

Morphs lawn and garden is amazing. Also wish he'd come join us here.
