How is the soil in those spots? Are they low?

Looks like we are going to have some low/mid 80's for high temperatures over the next few weeks. That should lend itself well to some growth.

I can level the dirt back pretty quickly. May try to take some plugs from the backyard and move them there. That is if I don't head south for damage assessment.

BTW, we moved the date on the training thing I emailed you about. It's now 11/14. I'll send you the info.

fall pre is for winter weeds only , crabgrass isn't in this application , Poa annual rescue grass and many broadleaf weeds are main targets with the fall ( put down by oct 1 for north Texas for best results ) . Spectacle is the best although very expensive prodiamine then pendamethalin for fall herbicides.
Late February application is for crabgrass , goose grass etc , ( summer annuals). Green up doesn't matter for pre emergence, dimension herbicide works best if late in applying as it controls early emergence of crabgrass . I use prodiamine in mid February . Hope this helps.

Do you think fall pre emergent would be safe to use on grass i sodded on may 6?

Yes it will be fine ,
Time to do the fall pre m if you haven't already

recommendations on a pre-m, preferably one that works on johnson grass

[zemog]

prodiamine ( generic barricade ) or pendulum ( pendamethalin) , both are good prodiamine works better on poa anna imo.

Johnson grass is controlled with the February pre emergence application.

Note: both will stain concrete and clothing, make sure and apply when dry and sweep or blow off side walks.

Thanks, I put it down yesterday

[zemog]

what did you apply and what rate did you go out at ?

[Stephen]

pendamethalin

Just followed the broadcast spreader settings on the bag.

Where did you buy it?

Where did you buy it?

Home Depot, it's the active ingredient in "Scotts crabgrass and grassy weed preventer" 1.71%

when is it time to put down post emergent?

When you see the weeds?

[Goku025]

i don't have weeds, i use the Lesco post emergent granules to prevent crap from popping up, but cant remember when to drop it.
