Jobs for May
Mow regularly while the lawn is growing
MowingMow often enough that you never take off more than a third of the leaf at once. Keep shaded areas a little higher than sunny ones, and keep the blade sharp so it cuts cleanly.
Remind meWatch for brown patch
Disease watchRoughly circular yellow or brown patches in mild, humid weather can be brown patch. Water in the morning so leaves dry during the day, and avoid overwatering.
Remind meComing up in June
- Deal with winter weeds while they are small
