Observations of Seaside

[Beach Runner]

Seaside has been a ghost town this evening.

is the Airstream the same one that Jorn had?

Seaside has an obligation to it's guests to forwarn people about the COUNTY ROAD that runs thru Seaside.

how so? most towns/resorts have a main street running through them. and they pretty much have know about it as it's the only way in or out.

Went by there this morning and my husband's diagnosis was that the grass had been cut very short and will return green as it grows.

Ah...they scalped it. That 'splains it. Very common this time of year.

Doesn't that stop the seeding?

Yikes...thats terrible! I hope that bikers are careful of cars too...... not saying your daughters manager did this, but people on vacation think they have the right-of-way in Seaside. They think it is yuppie Disney and walk in the street and get pizzed that you almost hit them. I had a man push a baby stroller with a baby in it, right out in front of me and I almost hit it! And boy...was he mad AT ME!!!! Not even at a crosswalk or the 3 way stop. Sorry, I had to vent this.....Seaside has an obligation to it's guests to forwarn people about the COUNTY ROAD that runs thru Seaside. I stop for people most of the time and am courteous.....but it is extremely dangerous and crowded and an absolute free for all at times.

This has been going on for ages. I can't believe any responsible parent would use a baby stroller as a traffic device.

Warm season grasses (like bermuda) only seed when they're really tall. You don't want them to get really tall--they will develop serious fungus problems. You also don't overseed bermuda like you do with fescue--it spreads underground.

After bermuda (and other warm season grasses) break dormancy and start to grow, the lower part of the blades brown out. Only the top part is green. You can't cut the grass lower than the green part later in the season, so if you let it get tall you have to leave it tall. So early in the season as it is first breaking dormancy, it's best to scalp the grass--cut it really low to cut all the brown off the top so that it literally has room to grow.
