The heat is just too much for it.


wow does it get to 108F in May? it does here and it doesn't get burned
by heat. July 115F and mine is still green.

What kind of fescue do you use? Around here in Texas it is literally spent by
now or at the latest, July. I've tried several times keeping it alive, but the
water it needed was not worth it. Maybe you are using a newer developed fescue?

It would help it y'all would say where you're from!

I did say I'm from Texas, but to be more specific, south central Texas. Not
right up against the coast, but certainly on the dry line up the I-35 corridor.
It can go either way and often does.

I've heard the thing that kills fescue is not only the daytime heat
but the high nighttime temperatures. Around here it can be 72 degrees
at night for a week at a time in the summer.

It usually stays into the 90s over night here in Austin, with possibly a morning
temperature in the 80s. Rarely is there a heat break in summer.

What part of Miss? Gulf coast or more north? I think the Gulf is
more humid, maybe I'm wrong.

East of the "dry line" is considered the humid south. Contrary to what many
people think, a lot of Texas is humid. By humid, I mean 50% humidity with temps
ranging from night temps of 83 to day temps upwards of 97-103 for four months
out of the year.

What part of the country are you in where it is 105 degrees? What is
it like at night?

Tom is in Nevada. Las Vegas, Nevada. The desert.
