Turf going ragged almost overnight?

Fall armyworms can strip a lawn in a few days. The free field card shows the caterpillar, the inverted Y on the head, the frass, and the damage — and reminds you to find live larvae before you treat.

Muhlenbergia capillaris — commonly known as Muhly grass. This native plant is a workhorse in the landscape, thriving in many conditions and resisting almost anything it encounters. One of the few ornamental grasses grown for its flowers, Muhly grass blooms with lacy pink flowers in the fall when most other grasses are turning down for the year. Muhly grass does well in sun or part shade, handles wet and dry soils, and is just plain adaptable. Hardy throughout the state, Muhly grass can grow 3 to 4 feet tall and spread 3 to 4 feet wide, which can be enjoyed as a single specimen or planted in bunches. Muhly grass is low maintenance, has year-round landscape appeal, and is one of the most drought-tolerant grass species available.

Oklahoma received about 4.3 TRILLION fewer gallons of rain than normal over the last 60 days. The statewide average was just 2.10 inches, a deficit of 3.6".

Rain is in the forecast! We have a lot of catching up to do. https://ticker.mesonet.org/

The ground feels warm through your shoes before breakfast and another week of triple digits is coming, but the water you pour on your trees may never reach the roots that keep them alive. Deep watering the wrong way soaks the top few inches and leaves the thirsty roots dry underneath...

Wise Watering in Oklahoma’s High Heat and Drought
1.Check your local water provider for current restrictions (every other day, twice a week, etc.) Most providers allow for hand watering without restrictions.
2.Use a deep, soaking method for trees, shrubs and perennials. An in-ground system won’t be enough. Take special care with newly established plants.
3. Water early in the day.
4. Put down mulch to retain moisture and moderate soil temps.
5.Bermuda grass needs 1 inch of water per week (under normal summer conditions.)
6.Consider moving container plants to a shaded location until temperatures moderate. More watering may be needed.
7. Be patient- it can’t last forever!

‼️Just wanted to share a quick clarification for my local friends and clients!

Our family has a very long history of professional service in Bartlesville. To keep things transparent, I want to confirm that we are not related to or affiliated with any other 'Sutterfield' landscaping or lawn service ventures currently popping up in town.

We appreciate the community’s loyalty to the work we’ve been doing here for decades.
