You are my sunshine,my only sunshine

Well it looks like the rain will cease for a few days. The good news is the temps will return to normal and get these plants moving. Just like last April we have been very chilly and it has taken longer than expected for the greens to fully heal. Bentgrass needs soil temps of 55-65 degrees to really start moving and the average during April was 52. Considering cool season grasses usually start going dormant around 50 it has been a slow recovery. We definitely needed the moisture after a three week stretch with less than .2" but temperatures are now what is most important. With these upcoming temps we should see a surge of growth this week.
