Spring Flush

   

Now that it hasn't snowed this week, plants are growing and growing fast. We are seeing trees to start to leaf out and flowers are in bloom. 

We call this the spring flush as plants wake up from their long winters nap. Stress levels for turf have been low now and plants are full and lush. 

This time of year mowers are running on overtime. We are using some growth regulators to limit top growth. 

Our goal now is to encourage a little stress. Healthy stress, kinda like exercising your body. A little wilt will strengthen plants and prepare them for the grind of summer. Wilting plants will take the "thickness" out of the turf and create a better environment for play. 

On a daily basis we watch our moisture levels throughout the property and irrigate accordingly.
