The heat and wind are killing my garden.
With the price we pay for water I cannot maintain our grass and it is turning yellow. I feel like crying. Up to a month ago the grass was still green and soft. Now it look like it is going to die…
We try to save water wherever we can so that I can at least water the garden properly once a week. But with the scorching days and the warm wind that is not enough.
If anybody have some advice, how I can save our grass I would love to hear from you.
Thank you for your ongoing support and taking the time to look at my post.

Here in Florida where the sun can be pretty intense, a lot of people are trying to eliminate their grass yard. More heat resistant plants in groups, or landscaping with rocks/stones instead of grass. Maybe some landscapers can help with more/better ideas.
Thank you, I have been thinking in that direction. But I love grass…
I know…..
My advice is to ditch the lawn, which is a temperate-climate fashion choice unsuited to your climate. It can be done beautifully, trust me! Kris Peterson lives in S.California, a climate similar to yours and after years of drought, dug up her lawn and replaced it with a xerophytic garden. She did it in stages and I’m sure would be happy to advise you. https://krispgarden.blogspot.com
