I've been housesitting for my parents, taking care of their house and their pets as well as my own house and pets.
My house is small, with a small yard, so I don't normally bother with watering my lawn (I figure, the dead-er it is, the less it needs to be cut). Their yard and front lawn is big.
San Antonio had been under water restrictions, so the folks in my parents' neighborhood could only water their lawns on Fridays, I think. My parents have one of those underground sprinkler systems (and I'm not entirely sure how to turn it on).
So, I've been busy getting ready to start teaching again, and I FORGOT to water the lawn AT ALL!!! SO, today, I noticed the lawn is a bit brown and crunchy.... My question:
Is it too late? Have I killed it? If I water it this coming Friday, and let get really, really, REALLY soaked, is there any possibility of reviving it????
Please, some gardening expert, give me some good advice to save the lawn.
Or else, just give me the bad news gently.
