Brown grass

[MyFriendFlicker]

I'm just slightly concerned that it will never grow back again. It's gone brown before in dry summer spells but nothing quite like this. It's not just brown it's crispy .

I'm not watering anything but veg. We had one hour of rain last week and that's been it since early May.

It will grow back. Then you'll be moaning about having to cut it. 😂. Watch this space!

Mine too is very crunchy, make a lovey noise walking across it!

I think it will recover.

Grass always recovers. It's very hardy

I remember the grass in 1976. It will recover incredibly quickly once it rains.

If you water a small patch of it you'll see what we mean.

There are patches of green next to the tap and the veg patch. It's just that the rest of it feels deader than I've ever known in 30 years of gardening. Like walking on Weetabix.........

It will come back. We've just harvested our hay. Fields are full of nothing but dust and stubble. Give it a bit of rain and it will be back.

It will grow back

I went to Tanzania on safari a few years back
they have no rain for 5 months (every year)
and the grass grows back within days (every year)

Cover it up for a day or two it will turn green

The grass will benefit because the roots will be growing deeper into the ground to find water.

Only the aerial part of the plant has gone dormant to protect the crown. If you keep off it when possible it will suffer less damage, and recover more quickly.
