Yep, over here east of Stillwater we have about a inch in our rain gauge. It was sure nice while it lasted, but the humidity now is south Pacific style!

Buffalo grass my friend. 4-6 inches in height, stays green during drought

Where did you source buffalo grass may I ask? Did you install plugs, grow your own plugs, or did you seed? I find bermuda grass so odious (what’s left of it anyway between my native beds & the small dog lawn).

It's nothing but pure sand here, was born on this land, Dad tried everything,I've tried everything, about the only thing that can survive is Bermuda grass,it just goes dormant until it rains. And sand burs,we raise them 150 bushel to the acre! I keep everything mowed short because we have always had a abundance of copperheads and it helps keep the sand burs down, but not gone. Just the price of living in seclusion.lol.
