Kentucky Bluegrass plot planted by last year’s turf class 10 days after this year’s turf class core aerified and fertilized it.

Class solid-tined greens this evening. Slow mo video submitted as proof…

Hmm. Kind of hard to tell where the leak was…🧐

With rain expected tomorrow, the miniature golf course is set up for Thursday’s employee recognition event.

Graduation and Employee Recognition in a couple weeks. Probably the only time you’ll see these diamonds burned in.

It’s probably going to rain on Tuesday, but the bluegrass plot/soccer pitch is looking mint for the “Fitness at the Farm” event regardless. @dtccag

Last semester’s bluegrass seeding project is looking great heading into spring.

@BarenbrugUSA How can I get some Grassquach stickers?

[Delaware Tech Turf Management @DTCC_Turf]

The fall class’ bluegrass seeding project should come out strong this spring.

Checking in on the greenhouses over winter break. Things look and taste delicious.

FFA Bonfire & Cookout.

It’s not without its mistakes and I didn’t get any action shots, but the turf class measured-out this 1/5 scale soccer field this evening on the Kentucky bluegrass plot they planted eight weeks ago.

[Delaware Tech Turf Management @DTCC_Turf]

Students in the Turfgrass Management class planted this plot of @MtnView_Seeds 365ss bluegrass about three and a half weeks ago. It’s coming along great.

Many thanks to @shorebirds Head Groundskeeper Oscar Martinez for spending some time this afternoon to show a group of @delawaretech @dtccag students what being a minor league groundskeeper is like.
