First Frost of Fall 2019!

 This weekend we saw our first heavy frost of the Fall season!  The temperature was 34 degrees, but that was enough for the frost to set.  When this happens to our Bermuda grass it does not kill the grass, but causes it to go dormant for the winter.  Whenever the first good frost happens, this signals the grass that winter is coming.  The grass plant then begins to store carbohydrates and nutrients to use to overwinter in the cold.  We will probably see most of the green grass color turn to brown in the next 7-10 days.  It is never fun to see the green grass leave each year, and we can only hope it comes back early next Spring!
