Thank you. I moved this to the Clematis Form.

Looks like St Augustine to me, but it could be the altitude and sunnyness of the photo. If you could take a picture in the shade with a dime in the picture and taken from an altitude of 3 inches, I could do better. The bad news is your cookie cutter lawn in Dallas will never look like a colonial estate in Virginia. But you absolutely don't have to have lawn envy. What Scott's will do to your yard will likely not hurt anything. What you do yourself could kill it post haste, and then you could blame it on Scott's. Our issues with national brand lawn services like Scott's is they don't have your best interest at heart. They have boat payments to make all year, so they will continue to bleed your wallet as long as you let them. Also they don't hire lawn experts. They have a training pamphlet of what to tell clients about their lawn. They are not trained to diagnose the lawns, they are only trained what to say. I know because I worked with one of them after he left the job. His own lawn was dead. Anyway, here's what's involved with caring for St Augustine: Water deeply and infrequently. I realized Mother Nature has thrown you a huge curve ball on this for 2015, but the rains will eventually stop. When they do you will be watering once per week but water a full inch at a time. Time how long it takes your sprinkler system to fill several cat food or tuna cans place around the yard. Use that time every time you water. Once per week should be all you need for the summer until it cools off. Then go to once every 2 weeks. The soil surface must dry completely between watering. Mulch mow at your mower's highest setting ALWAYS. Unless this grass is really bermuda, then you will mulch mow at the mower's lowest setting. So it's important to get the grass identified. Assuming it's St Aug, fertilize now with an organic fertilizer like corn meal, corn gluten meal, alfalfa pellets (rabbit chow), cottonseed meal, or Milorganite. The app rate is 15-20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Apply now and again about Labor Day. You can apply on 4th of July if you want to hit all the holidays. And hit it again around Thanksgiving. That is really all there is to growing grass. The number 1 important thing is deep and infrequent watering. You can mess up any of the rest, but if you get the watering wrong you'll have weeds and other issues that you'll never see if you're doing it right. Sounds simple, huh! It really is. You won't have to reseed anything and should not need herbicide. There is a slight possibility of insect damage even in a healthy lawn, but those are rare enough. I used to have snails, but once I got rid of those and went organic and learned how to water, I have not had any insect issues.

I would add root crops like beets, radishes, onions, and carrots. A judgement you'll have to make is when you can put in summer vegetables in the spring. You'll want the winter ones to be done by then. For me, summer veggies go out in early March, so the window of opportunity for winter veggies is a bit narrow.

Hi Vladimir I've had my greenhouse for about 15 years. It's a lean-to off of my living room! The frame is made from angle iron and the cross beams are unistrut. The covering is corrugated clear panels that is sold at homedepot/lowes. Long story short last couple of years I've been growing inside the greenhouse over the summer and through the winter. I live in south jersey so i am zone 6b-7a. I have two box fans that run Constantly. I have a screen door on one side and window on the other side. It usually gets up to 110F-112F topp in summer. I have no shade cloth on the roof and my tomatoes never have a problem with the direct sunlight or heat. I do have a sprinkler that comes on automatically( cools temp a bit) and a bathroom exhaust fan that I connected to a temperature controller to pull out the extra heat. I usually do tomatoes in summer because the fans will pollinate the flowers and the deer/rabbits won't eat the plants. Cucumbers did really well last year where they actually took over the entire greenhouse and I had cucumbers into November. They just have to be pollinated by hand. any question s let me know steve
