Rain , Rain , Rain .

 
   Will the rain ever end ? We have seen lots of rain this year. Temperatures other than one week have been average at best, with few days in the 90's. This all adds up to the turf growing almost all summer with fertilizer usage up. 
   As turf managers we expect unirrigated turf to be dormant in some weeks over the summer . Sometimes up to a month. That may not happen this year. We still have some time left to get hot and dry but not much.
   We are expecting to do some additional cutting as well as additional fertilization this year. If not the overall color and health of the grass may suffer.
