"Is your lawn starting to look like this? The grass, which at once point was green, is now showing brown spots throughout? I took this picture of my yard Sunday evening.As I drove through the neighborhood, I saw many other lawns looking a lot like mine. I then remembered, Bermuda grass is now getting ready to go into hibernation mode, and the weather is to blame.Bermuda grass is a warm-weather grass. It handles the drought well, and it handles hot temperatures well. It does not, however, handle cool or cold weather well. When that cold snap came in over a week ago and brought the earliest freeze on record to Oklahoma City, I knew there would be a price to pay for it. In this case, our lawns are paying that price.I'd say throw in the towel.The cooler the air, the cooler the ground becomes, which in turn slows down the growth of Bermuda grass. Fortunately the temperatures for the next two weeks appear to be fairly warm, which will keep the grass somewhat green. Once soil temperatures dip below 60 degrees, it becomes nearly impossible to keep an Oklahoma lawn with Bermuda grass looking green.For many, I see one, perhaps two more lawn mowings this month before we can pack up the lawnmower for a few months. Talk about a tough year to be a lawn. Drought, water restrictions and earliest freeze on record.Here's hoping for a better year next year!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
