Just an update on the color of the grass.  It's improving but still not where we would like it to be.  Monday night the temp was 46º and last night it was 51º which is not conducive to greening up.  The grass really needs temperatures consistently above 60º at night to continue to gain color and sustain growth.  But we're getting there. You can see in the bottom two pictures that even though that grass is pretty green, it's still too thin to harvest.  We have a lot of that right now; grass not quite ready to harvest.  And if you walk out in the field there's still a lot of brown from the winter kill we had so the grass isn't even quite as green as it looks in these pictures. ...

A few pictures to show the color of the grass in our field right now. The grass is greening up but we're definitely not all the way there yet so don't be surprised to have some brown in your grass over the next few weeks. Our fields take a little longer to green up than most peoples yards because our fields have no protection from the frosts we've had and the cold nights.  But we're getting there so just be patient with us please!  ...
