I think Oak leaves would survive a nuclear winter the way they reman on the trees all winter.

When people said Summer's back was broken.

Not very UHI for a city of 60K, where I live. More trees than pavement/buildings.

Where most people live

E MA 1-2F above normal MTD.

I'm with Scott. I like a dry house, so I'll run my central air for that if not the temp. Love my house to be 70F with RH just at or below 50%.

Stepped down for sure. But back not broken in my mind.

But it wasn't 90F+ everyday. We had a period of torch for about 4 days towards end of August. The entire month was not like that but had above normal temps and dews overall. The month ended above solidly above normal, but not a torch. All I'm saying it's its right back to that solidly above normal regime over last several days and we are now above normal on the month, so not much of a change in my book.

Broke back summer to me would mean an extended period of average to below average temps. A few days does not an extended period make in my world.

One night in the 40s here. Mid/upper 50s and 60s for lows.

And what was it like yesterday?

Above normal temps and dews.

We were told back was broken 2 weeks ago, yet here we stand mid-month and in the same boat.

Mid 70s for highs and low 50s for lows are the norms mid-Sept here. So those numbers would yield +3-4F. Solidly above normal.

+1.0F MTD now.

CMC and tropics, 'nuff said.

The swamps and low lying stream areas have already changed around me.

Torchy AM

50% Turf-type perennial Ryegrass, 20% Kentucky Bluegrass, 15% creeping red fescue, 15% Chewings fescue 34% Turf - Type Perennial Ryegrass, 33% Fine Fescues, 33% Shamrock KBG So the Rye, will likely be the first to germinate. The Bluegrass may take 2-3 weeks. The Fescue will be a little less than that.

Depending upon seed mix used, it could be 5-10 days.

Yeah, it takes longer but the results should be better. I'll probably do another overseed next year. I still have the other parts of my lawn that will need to be done next year once the contractors are all done. I still don't have a game plan on what will be lawn vs what will be garden beds.

Overseed now. You need ~45 days for the roots to establish before frost/freeze. That puts you into mid-Oct now, which is probably after your 1st frost. Dethatching is a must for overseeding. You want to clear as much debris as you can to expose the soil below. Without good soil contact/cover, you risk the seed washing/blowing away and taking longer to germinate. The dethatchers you rent are scarifiers, that will also open up the soil for the seed to drop into. I also recommend running the dethatcher after seeding to cover the seed. Make sure to use a new seed fertilizer. And lastly, water, water, water the new seed. 2-3 times a day lightly at first to keep soil/seed moist. After it's germinated you can go longer/deeper and further between with watering.

I'll be closing our pool up probably next weekend.
