I removed all weeds, tilled the soil. Planted seed and watered until they ppped and started to grow grass. It was nice and beautifully green. Then my husband purchased a lawn mower when it ws high enlugh to cut and he not only cut the grass damp, but also I believe too ,low. It started to turn yellow and dry and brttle after about a week and now it has all turned sort of straw like (hay,, if you will) and I am totally deviistated. I can't understand what happened. everyone was complimenting us, now nobudy says a work. I'm sure their all wondering what happened to the grass ----- and so am I. Please I'm desperate. I've been on line trying to find the reason. Then discouvered this Garden Guides.com and I immediately joned. Here is hoping to a long and lasting connection with green thumbers and wish to be greenthumbers (like me). Though, I luv this gardening, plants and flowers. I am disheartened and can't bare to think about starting over. Will the grass regrow from underneath the hard yellowed grass. Sincerely eyeluvgrass2 Quote \| Reply \| Report

I just wish everyone were around who's usually here, you'd get a better idea of how much fun this can be. Great advice, too by the way. Quote \| Reply \| Report

Grass needs a lot of water to survive the hot summer, at least an inch a week. Water deeply once or twice a week so it really soaks down to the roots. Cut grass 2 1/2-3 inches tall to help shade the roots. Never cut off more than 1/3 of the grass blade at one time as it stresses the plant. At this point it's probably gone dormant for the summer. Pray for some good thunderstorms! Quote \| Reply \| Report
