I must say though that there are only a few corner pieces were the sod is easily picked up. It seems to be taking root just fine. Even the second pallet, which was on the back of my truck for a week(long story) seems to be taking root. And boy has it greened up! Zoysia must be more sturdy than I thought! I know KBG, where I'd water every other day for a week (if it doesn't rain), and not to the point of saturation. Then every third day for a week, etc, until I got down to once a week, or twice in very hot weather. If the soil's damp when you go to water, I'd skip it. Cloudy weather for days means you may not be watering much. Fortunately, it's hard to make a severe mistake with sod. It wilts, you water it a bit more. :-) My next question is in RE: to mowing. Am I right in thinking that the sod should be [b][i]WELL[/i][/b] rooted before a mower goes near it? The last thing I want to do is muck it up by getting over anxious to see that carpeted green. Well, you don't want to pull it up in the mower deck and shear it apart, no. Fortunately, you're already rooting and it sounds like you could mow as necessary. Sod's so heavy that pulling it up with the minor suction of a mower isn't likely, but I still wouldn't chance it.

No problem - glad I could help. These guys probably wouldn't be affected by the presence of Cubans as they are terrestrial and subterranean, so intraspecific encounters wouldn't be common enough to affect their populations (but who knows...these things are complex...I sense a research project..haha). You might be able to collect the cubans and sell them to biology supply warehouses (Carolina Bio or Wards) - it'd be better for them to use those for classroom dissections than native leopard frogs which usually get the brunt of it. Since they are a nonnative, invasive species I don't think there should be regulations against it, but you might want to check. I don't know if it'd do anything to their populations but perhaps if you kept removing them from your property it would allow other species a small refuge from them. This is a perfect example of why I'm so adamant against people posting threads on here asking others to send them frogs and tadpoles for their ponds - just one nonnative species can cripple your local ecosystem. ~Mike

We love frogs any way we can get them! :o) Including Bro Daves and Michaels!

Jesse, sometimes 2 blooms are joined together, so it has all the parts of 2 blooms. It usually blooms like a regular 6-petaled bloom. This is an older bulb...and it has been normal in the past and will likely be normal in the future.
