I messed up. In an attempt to kill tough winter weeds that seem to enjoy Weed-B-Gone, I used Round-Up in January. It did a pretty good job on the weeds, but it was risky, because unless the Bermuda grass is completely dormant, Round-Up will kill/damage unseen green under the brown. This tactic had worked the prior year, but I don’t think this past winter got cold enough to make the Bermuda go totally dormant. Result? I ended up with a bunch of spots where weeds once had been that did not green up.

But, the Bermuda is tough, and filling in the bare spots. I’m hoping to have the entire yard as nice as the pictured section by October. Won’t do the Round-Up thing again.
