Default Is it too late to water my lawn?

I had surgery about three weeks ago and since then I have not watered my
lawn. For obvious reasons, my lawn is now all yellowed out with a few
patches of green here and there.

I live in Oklahoma and the weather had been very hot lately.

Is there a way to resurrect this grass? I am recovered from surgery and
therefore can go back out there and try to work again if possible to

revive
the grass.

Thanks
Gene


water for 10 -15 minutes every day and you will notice reqrowth in a week

maybe
less


Watering 10 - 15 minutes a day is not the way to water grass in OK for sure.
That much watering would evaporate before it ever got to a grass root. He
needs to put out several containers to catch water and sprinkle until at
least 1/2 inch of water is in the containers if they have straight up sides,
more if tapered sides. I'd say the amount now should be about 1 inch to get
top moisture to meet ground moisture that may be 6 or 8 inches down.
