It’s very normal, especially at the high rate. I experienced a bit of this with Bermuda a few weeks ago. I watered, mowed, and fertilized my way through it. But Bermuda is a champ, so… St Aug? The rain should help. Keep mowing even if you cut just a little bit off. Not sure if you should f...

[quote]Thanks everyone! I’ll take yalls advice and lay Rye seed then RiverOak. [/quote] No chance for Rye to germinate before late September to mid October. Too hot. Make sure you get Perennial Rye and not Annual, which will die more easily in the heat. If your area is shaded enough and you g...
