Yes .No drought at all but with more than half my lawn newly seeded in spring , it has to stay moist . I’ve got a guy coming next week for over seed/ slit seed . It’s gotten dry short term and for lawns , that’s no bueno
Had to break out the sprinkler for the lawn today . Stein last 7 days and Mon- Fri upcoming . Hopefully screamer rips wind and good rain next weekend. My fear is it cuts too far west for much rain . But would be better for wind . We’ll see
Yes on reseeding. You’ll never get rid of it in one season . You’ve got to get all of the seeds . You really need to spray it now to kill it . Do not use any weed killer on seed or new seedlings . Then reseed and hope the grass comes in thick enough and establishes a strong enough root system to choke it out next summer. And apply the pre - emergent when the forsythia are blooming in Napril.
