The project of converting my front yard from turf grass with Asian shrubs to all native plants.

Turf Grass Patch

A front yard along a driveway. Most of the yard contains short yellow grass but a roundish area maybe 12 feet in diameter has taller, greener grass.

When I sprayed a grass selective herbicide Clethodim earlier, I missed a few spots. I also purposely avoided the area that was inside the dog fence at the time. I am going to go back and tidy up the missed spots when I spray the areas that had been obscured by logs and branches. But I think I will leave this patch of turf grass for Sophie. She really does like nice soft grass to roll around in. I just mowed it and it took less than 5 minutes.

There won't be any spraying for at least the next 4 days, since we are still having thunderstorms. It needs to be reasonably dry without a chance of rain within the next hour or two after spraying.
