Went in person yesterday, but we’re emailing at this point. Shot over a load of pictures this morning and brought up the spittlebugs. I think you’re dead on with what’s going on. Turf damage descriptions match closer than anything I’ve been able to find. Hope to hear back Monday.

So yes, spittlebugs, but not what is causing the damage. Maybe a slight amount, but nothing to warrant concern. Let 'em ride for now and focus on the real problem: take-all root rot.
Got with my buddy that owns a pro pesticide and herbicide distribution company and he sent me over a 30lb bag of granules with 0.31% Azoxystrobin and 0.75% Propiconazole after working with the horticulture department over at UF. Just finished spreading at about 3.75 lb / 1000 sq ft with a gentle rain coming down as I was finishing up. Perfect application Let's see how she do! |

Soil temps finally below 85 for the past week so applied pre-emergent and pest control to lawn and fertilized it. Also fertilized gardenia and provided them some systemic pest control, probably for the last time in 2020. Palms need to be trimmed soon and was looking at the Live Oaks debating whether I need to get them pruned this year or next. (They are making a big mess with acorns right now.)
In early November, wife and I will probably plant some annuals in pots scattered throughout the beds. Need some color, at least until temps spike and kills them late next Spring.

I got beans, peas, and carrots sprouting. Bok Choy, arugula, and mixed lettuce we are eating from the fall crop already. Last of the beefsteak are hanging from nearly dead vines.

Seeding w/o aerating, yes or no?
Can't find an aerator to rent, all are always rented out. Had the yard aerated this spring.

I have some bare spots along the street and driveway where the grass isn't going to fill in on its own. After mowing a little lower (grass looks like crap now...lol), I raked out dead stuff, fertilized, then threw down some sand in some low spots (to raise them) then top soil. Overseeded by hand and lightly raked the seed into the soil. Afterwards, I covered these areas with a light layer of sphagnum peat moss. The peat will help keep in moisture as well as protect the ungerminated seeds, especially this time if year when a random frost may occur (depending where you live). By that same token, if you expect temps to be cold later in Oct or Nov, you'll want to get cracking. The grass seed will need time to germinate and get strong enough to survive winter (again, depending on where you live).
