I don’t know much about grass or pay much attention to it but I assume ours dies. I’m not very much help am I?
It’s normal for grass to turn brown in the winter. Just leave it alone and it should green up again in the spring. Zoe is right about fertilizing...but I do nothing with my grass except mow it in the summer, and it’s fine. It will get brown again if it’s very hot and dry in the summer--in that case water it early in the morning or in the evening so you don’t cook it under the sun.
Good to know! Thanks guys (you to Robin, heh). I was curious, but obviously not concerned enough to research it myself, since it will soon be someone else’s dead grass.
It’s not dead, it’s dormant. It’ll grow back.
What they said. Our grass always freezes in the winter, and we’ve never yet had to do anything about it in the spring - it comes back on its own.
I have NO clue how some people keep it green though. Never seen that happening here.
Um, yeah, grass dies. LOL
Actually, I think it must technically go “dormant” or something because it comes back in the spring every year without having to do anything to it.
you’ve got your answers.. dormant is correct.
even in a drought (tho i think you water ...correct?) grass will go dormant and spring back once the weather moistens up.
Depending on what variety of grass it is, it should come back in the spring. I would doubt that you would have to overseed it in the spring, but I don’t know for certain.
If you do still have a lawn in the spring, you may want to fertilize it to give it a little help coming back. I’d check out http://www.yardcare.com/, they have advice for different regions of the country.
