And so it begins. We had about 13 inches of rain last month and the grass just took off, so I guess the sustained temps in the 20's couldn't kill it.

There goes my Saturday mornings.

I'm a tad north of you and the St Augustine is still dormant. Monday night is supposed to dip into the 30s, but it looks like Spring is off to the races starting Wed.

Pre-emergent herbicide is being applied this afternoon (probably should've been applied a week ago), and plan to apply my early spring green up fast release fertilizer application either next weekend or the weekend after that.

Yeah, probably may at least for us. Maybe late April if it's really growing & green.

Hmmm...looking out my office window, I can see some small patches of green in the courtyard between units (I live in a townhome community). Overall, it looks like everything is still in its winter brown, but I'm sure our landscape contractors have a schedule. However, I do need to call my personal landscaper to tend to my plant/flower beds and broadcast his super-duper grass killer in my side rock yard.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Youngest mowed for us last week, but it was more to knock down some left-over leaves that were building up than actual lawn growth.

And so it begins, I stopped at HEB an picked up some black mulch to freshen up the grayish mulch from last year. Such is the cycle of life.
