Hard to believe when you walk out and feel the temperature but it is actually fall in South Texas.  I loved the weatherman this morning when he said temperature this weekend would be closer to normal, 85.  85 in the fall, geez, oh well the rain yesterday was really nice.  We got over an inch at our house.  And speaking of rain, as my grass cried out in ecstasy, I realized it was time to do something about that poor brown patch with some green sticking up here and there. 

These are the three things that everyone should do in the fall to have a beautiful lawn in the spring (course this depends on if we get enough rain that we can actually water next year)

1. Reseed to cover bare patches and thicken your grass.  Dense grass resists weeds, so lets make a beautiful carpet of deep soft green grass. 
2. Fertilize now to strengthen it for next spring. 
3. Use a core aerator to loosen compacted soil when the ground is moist.  The loose soil will make your grass have a stronger root system.

So there's your weekend project for you and if you lawn looks really great next year invite us over for BBQ, OK?
