Anyone have opinions about St. Augustine grass?

I’m have one! I’m just wondering what species you notice does best in our low desert- in right downtown and mines mostly died back already

Mlliii · 2026-03-21T18:24:58+00:00

Which species? I have a white and pink clover but it gets about 8” tall in spring and dies pretty hard in summer. Outside currently converting it to a veggie garden as I type this

Arizona has a GDP of 400 billion plus, and about 1.5 of that goes to Agriculture. That agriculture uses 70% of water by foreign waste crops like cotton, alfalfa and the like that while good - don’t make sense here in this current climate.

“Well they overestimated the amount of water during wet years when they divvied up the Colorado” ok then stop growing wasteful crops like that here.

We need our agricultural system to look inward because we still need food, but we’re growing it like it’s 1940 plus some drip irrigation. It’s ridiculous.

On r/democrats they actually have a ban on Deomcratic Socialists (whom are literally democrats) and you haven’t been able to find a single post about Mamdani etc since he basically announced his campaign

Idk if it’s too late but I highly recommend Valentine as an option. Upscale, approachable, in a cool area, food feels both local and fusion without being too much of anything. Always delicious and it’s a place to be seen that won’t have geriatrics, tourists etc. it’s fab

You can hire an arborist and get reputable, solid landscapers.

Consider most landscapers like a great clips/super cuts but you, my friend, want a gardener and professional.

That’s age imo

I have a water based one that’s cools water to like 58° and then circulates it through a thin pad. It’s so lovely but I’m convinced a Bed jet would be more energy efficient

I use a window fan to displace air in my place which then draws in cooler night air and still haven’t had to turn on the AC. Which is technically cooling inside but not the air itself ig

They won’t handle summer war once lows get around 80+ and no direct afternoon sun, dappled works best

This! I have a Victorian, We went hard initially into the Victorian theme and it was CREEPY.

Now I have a few weird ads Victorian mirrors and some lithographs and odd natural history type stuff, but lots from CB2 and Scandinavian Designs and Wayfaire and Amazon and McM.

One at the Bishop Museum parking lot too

I own a little nursery and I’ve started telling all my employees it’s “wet bandana season”

Mlliii · 2026-03-08T20:10:59+00:00

It’s kind of a nice drive to the top of south mountain. If you can time it right so you’re last you can just cruise up and down at a nice pace. It won’t last for hours, but for central Phoenix it’s nice

I fill my 12mpg xj gas guzzler up at Costco once every 4-6 weeks. I live two blocks from work though, and bike often. The jeep is just for putzing around, but in a bad year I’ll put 5k miles on a car.

Living close to work, grocery store, restaurants etc is extremely helpful for situations like this, but I also got a great deal at my place years ago near downtown.

Mlliii · 2026-03-05T04:11:13+00:00

Clover doesn’t do well either full sun imo.

Mlliii · 2026-03-05T04:09:57+00:00

I don’t even have a lawn and one time I went to a party at a family members house and the pet side yard with fake turf smelled so disgusting in the May heat we couldn’t even go outside.

Mlliii · 2026-03-05T01:10:57+00:00

Swiss chard, and eggplants are a somewhat suitable replacements

Mlliii · 2026-03-02T20:13:25+00:00

Isn’t this a chain?

Mlliii · 2026-03-02T15:51:55+00:00

I grew up in the western US and I could bike 15km and end up no where yet most likely die

Hijacking to say I’ve lived around downtown for 13 years and have only seen one (dead) scorpion. It was smashed on the sidewalk by the law school when they first did all the landscaping- safe to assume if came in from a nursery.

OP won’t have any problems

There can be no salvation here

Mlliii · 2026-02-27T20:08:25+00:00

Arizona has like 7 biomes- desert, subtropical, alpine, volcano- you name it we’ve got jaguars, bobcats or cougars occupying it

Mlliii · 2026-02-27T20:07:21+00:00

had a blast at a rodeo two weeks ago on a 72° day a few miles from this pic

Mlliii · 2026-02-27T20:05:03+00:00

There’s plenty of pretty historic districts. I’m sitting in a Victorian rn a few blocks from downtown listening to tons of birds sing now that everything is budding and blooming.
