Training camp awaits.

My luscious green grass awaits my grandson... he's not ready to play Safety yet though.

Nice.

How often are you watering now? I noticed a small, brown spot a few days ago so I decided to upgrade with a Rain Bird 360-degree nozzle so that I had full sprinkler coverage in that specific area.

During the height of the heat wave (no rain) we had here, daily, since I have a couple of flower beds sharing the same zones. When it rains hard, as it did yesterday, not at all. Real rain is always better than irrigation. I can't wait a week to mow, however. It's really every three days, maybe four. And I raised mower height to 3 inches, from 2. Can't really cut it short when it's that hot. Also can't cut too much at one time. It'll promote those yellowing spots. While I considered mowing lower, like 1.5 inches, at the end of the day, one needs a level lawn, a reel mower that's not a push mower, and more effort and work. It's just like keeping one's hair short and neat, it's more work than you think.

Well, I wish you would send real rain our way

North Texas' dry heat has been a mofo & we are barely in July. Geesh.

I grew up in South West Texas and we got rain twice a year. We did have plenty of cactus growing that was green instead of grass though. Good lord, it was hot!

Notice the hip movement in the latter part of the video. Help me out Rez .. wasn't that change of direction nasty?

I wonder how many guys are putting in extra off season work now? I'd be charging my batteries and kissing my loved ones before training camp when they are an after thought.

Training camp is almost here!

7 practices will be open to the public.
