Mercy Me and Me Oh My

These parts have enjoyed a wet cool season. But that's over now. The first half of April was rain free. Thus, with little hope for rain on-going, the Druids declare this growing season over for these parts. It was nice while it lasted.

Si. While the rain lasted, three of the big 4 cool season perennial grasses at the CB managed to produce plenty of florets. The cool season grasses are the new dominants among the Poaceae here. They are Texas wintergrass, Texas bluegrass and three-flower melic. The fourth important cool season perennial, that the wise call creek oats, has not seeded out yet, but better anon if it wants to reproduce sexually this year.

The warm season perennial grasses are screwed. If you are managing for them, you are seriously out of luck. Ask the Goddess for mercy.
