Remember that "80% chance" yesterday? We got nothing. Lot of places got bucket loads of rain, but not at my home. Still dry as a bone.

[@brandonleach7632]

Same for us in Davie Co. rain got down the mountain in Wilkesboro and fell apart. Only 3 months and it’s seeding time lol

[@MrJStar4]

Great channel. Enjoy the devotionals.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Thanks! Glad to have you around

[@MrKevinH]

We officially ended up with .019" for the "event", but most of that fell after midnight. It was very spotty and as some might say, it was a lot of bark (thunder) and very little bite (rain).

Another great video, Mr. Ferguson. My family went on vacation two weeks ago, came back and the yard was fried in some areas. Had to ramp up the water but we've a bit of rain over the last week. I'm due to put out fungicide this weekend and it's going to be so hot. Hope you have a great 4th of July! God Bless!

[@jlukasko]

Same here in my area of Maryland. Decent rainfall in areas all around me, but next to nothing here. We’re due man!!

[@tedallen5002]

I applied fungicides on 6/9 and should be about ready to apply again. I am pretty certain I now have rust on areas of the front lawn where I have attempted to keep watered enough to keep it from going white. I have nutsedge coming up all around, but I’m afraid to try to treat for it. I’m also seeing common Bermudan trying to invade from my neighbor’s yard and am debating trying to put glyphosate on it, maybe with one of those foam applicators to try to get it without getting my GCI TTTF/KBG. We finally got some rain Sunday evening here in Concord, NC for the first time in almost a month, but not much. I watched the radar as two different fronts got within a couple miles of me and then split, with one passing less than 1/4 mile of me right along the opposite side of the main road. Glad you had a great trip and thanks for the content as always.

Im in Newport News Va we just got like .5" yesterday ive been watering like crazy it felt good to finally skip 2 30 min 5am irrigation cycles this morning. Im still sitting on a bag of freedom fert from the memorial day sale. Hopefully we get more rain this weekend. One thing i have come to know is you can't trust the weather man.

[@b.hunter3560]

It’s crazy how close we live to each other and the difference in the amount of rain I’ve gotten versus you

[@MrFergusonLawn]

I know it. We got nodda yesterday. Overnight we got .08"

[@dj-dg2wx]

Thanks for sharing. I’m in a similar situation. I’m trying to accept that “cool season” fescue means high heat dormancy. Here in central ca the heat is so high(100-110) even water can’t keep the lawn from stress and dormancy. It will come back and heck, need to remember this is only 2-3 months of a year. So hard to watch though, isn’t it??

[@Dexterlivesinusall]

I’d give nearly anything for that kind of rain you got at the beach here!

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Tell me about it. We got skipped over yet again as well. Hurts my soul.

[@samuelfeguer]

I just mowed the lawn to 4 inches after a month of not cutting it. It's definitely stressed out. Praying for some rain. Too hot to be applying anything to the lawn right now.

[@BossMan_Jerm]

Got 2 inches of rain here in Benson yesterday, thank the Lord

[@davidcrowson4745]

LOL ...peeing on a building on fire 🔥🔥🔥. We got a thunderstorm Sunday afternoon about a 1/4 inc i think that maybe this hurricane maybe bring us something. Have a great day sir 👍.

[@natemoore3841]

I’m in the same boat. Need rain bad and I’m not adding anything to the lawn except water.

[@williamconlon4183]

Guess it figures, go on vacation and it rains a lot and when you return it hasn't rained at all. Hope it rains like hell in the next day or two. The yard is struggling but you're well aware of that. Your next mow should be a lot of fun, you'll probably have to make at least 2 passes', each being a little lower. I don't envy you. Good luck Mr. F, it'll come back, just may take a while.

[@adamhatty426]

Our summer was like that in Iowa last year, this year it’s been good. Only good thing I can see is your saving money on fungicide 😊 your lawn still looks good while it’s sleeping 😴

[@chadcochran4654]

Hopefully you got some of that rain yesterday. I finally got just over 2 inches in Clayton. Edit: Oh so it missed you. If only I read your comment before my post. Anyway, I can feel ya... I have gone many years where the storms come to my house, split, and go around me. My church would get 2-3 inches and I would get 0. But... I do have celebration bermudagrass and it stays green no matter what.

[@G_Grip]

What time of the day are you watering? It just hit me that in the videos that youre watering in its the hottest part of the day. Ideally i try to water at 5 am. I notice if i water in the hottest part of the day it basically evaporates more than soaking in. Especially with the type of sprinklers youre using. The style that i would suggest is the impact style (shhhh-tik-tik-tik 🤷 dont know how else to describe them lol) it forces the water into the ground better than the fan style. The fan style is superior in seeding times because it wont move the seed.

[@aaroncogginslawn]

We not getting no rain in Archdale either. Keeps going around us lol. Same here just staying off of it and putting some water down..

[@CaptainQueue]

After a 10-day vacation last fall my lawn in northern Louisiana looked like this or worse and I thought it was dead. It didn't come back until late spring and it is fine. This year I am putting down less fert and less water. Do we really need our lawns to look like perfect green carpets?

[@edpitcock3344]

Still no rain in south eastern Ohio well we have had pop up showers but not near enough to make a difference.

[@Sir_Mack]

I don't think most of those spots will survive. There's dormancy, and then there's death. The spots will be toast by the end of the summer without significant consistent watering unfortunately. I'd be shocked if fall came along with the rains and voila, all is good again.
