Anyways, we built a house and finished in late November. The yard is nothing but mud. Is there something besides Annual Rye that I could plant that would be good for a temporary basis until the warm season comes around?

The Oklahoma State University Ag Extension here in Tulsa said it would be fine to put down Bermuda as long as you don't allow it to get dry at all until it warms up.

Let me ask you, since this is a new house, we have no trees. Would Zoysia work? I love Zoysia, but a lot of people consider it a shade grass, but I thought it was a grass that likes the sun. The house faces the south. One other question I have is regarding water consumption. Which grass needs more water, Bermuda or Zoysia? The cost of water is almost double the cost at our old house just 10 miles away from our new house. So that is a major concern too. Some of these sod guys seem to be full of smoke...
What would you do???

That is a cool website!
