Tall Fescue Dying?
I planted some Marathon Tall Fescue seeds in April and my lawn seemed to be doing well but now they're all brown. Is my lawn dead? If they're just dormant will they green back up without me re-seeding?

I'm not a lawn person, so I really don't know that much about lawn and grasses. But I think you could help keep your fescue green by pouring enough water on it very consistently. But 1) water is a precious resource and pouring a whole ton of it on your lawn seems very wasteful and 2) if you manage to keep it green through heat of summer, you are stressing it and making it more vulnerable to disease and other problems. Summer dormancy is a protective mechanism.
