Rained again last night! Neil walking a few miles and losing a few pounds using the walk behind mower - we are resrticting heavy equipment on the grass due to all the rain.

Fun Facts on the Weather This Spring, 5/12/11

Poa annua

The Poa annua on the grass courts is in the flowering stage right now. See this post for an explanation:

Also a little bit of fungus has popped up. We used the "don't do anything and wait" fungicide and it worked well. The brown ring spot was gone in a few days as the grass grew out of the damage - no action needed.

Grass Courts

Layout of the grass courts has started early this year.
