^same in ILM, but not really much of a problem since nothing’s been planted since Thanksgiving…
bought some seed and some transplants Saturday, but it’s supposed to get down around 40* tonight, so I’m gonna wait ONE more day…

Stick… your original pH was 5.3 and we put lime out when you did the bed prep for your turfgrass — one more bag of Dolomitic Line ain’t gonna hurt anything…
That said, lime, or lack thereof, doesn’t have anything directly to do with dormancy….
Typically, that’s primarily a function of soil temps — in yards and urban farming, you got a lot of variance in direct sunlight, wind, closeness to brick walls that absorb heat… all of which, will lead to some differences in how the grass comes out of dormancy…
The same is true in reverse during the growing season as there’s some difference is how the grass grows in different spots…
Remember, zoysia does not like shade…
In the summer, morning sun ain’t the same as afternoon sun…
And typically the hottest places in the summer are the coldest places in the winter…
The fun part of all this is that the ‘hot and cold spots’ are constantly moving around the yard as the sun moves relative to the wobbly rotation of the earth…
just ask SqlWolf…
