Is June Grass the stuff that looks like spinach and stinks to high heaven?

The June Grass looks more like split pea green colored wet long dog hair than spinach, but I think we are talking about the same stuff. Some people say it stinks, but I think Blue Cheese smells terrible. I have never noticed the smell of decomposing June Grass or Sargassum Grass, but many people say it stinks. I would be more concerned with Deer and Dog Flies which can run you off the beach, unless you have sj's Bug Juice. (just trying it on for size. Peapod has agreed to be my Guinee Pig -- right, Pea to the Pod? I need honest feedback before taking it to market. Oh, BTW, my Bug Juice is testing on animals and people, so if you have a problem with that, you may not be interested in this product. :rotfl: Feedback from my dogs is that one seems to worry greatly about the painful Deer Flies, but they both smell great. Funny that he doesn't mind eating Bumble Bees but he runs like a scared cat from Deer Flies.

We had two trips to Seaside back in the '90's where you could smell the stuff rotting on the beaches all the way up on the road. I love nature, but it was disgusting!

That does kind of look like what was so thick in the water. Very difficult to walk through. It was yucky! Haven't really seen that much of it since. Never have just seen that light green all over the beach though. Oh well, still can't wait until the end of August and being at the beach. Might not get to enjoy the beach anyway for the flies. Since my husband and I both know we were never bothered with those flies at all on our recent trips to the beach except for last year, is it not possible that they could have been stirred up due to the increase in hurricanes and all that damage in New Orleans and carried over the direction of the Panhandle?

Smiling Joe, my husband and I would love to be a guinea pig for your repellant. Couldn't even take a walk for the flies. That June grass does look like split pea color. Yuck!
Yes, the June Grass looks like a funky green color, but when you walk on it, you will think you have died and gone to heaven. It feels like you are walking on a thickly padded carpet of plush velvet. Yummy to the feet!

It looks like the shag carpet I had in my first apartment...just add a lava lamp a beanbag chair and an 8-track player to complete the look.
