Crappy Night shots. Happy with the germination though. This is probably 8 square feet in different spots of the lawn *can I call it a lawn yet*

I'm at the sprout and pout and wonder if this was a wise decision. I did not have this many bare spots on last year's renovation.

It is KBG so it will look great a year from now once it establishes and spreads regardless. That is why people love KBG!

How old is your KBG renovation? I think your a few days ahead of me. I seeded on 8/15. Just wondering when you are giving it a feeding. I'm doing my back today which is overdue at day 30!

Day 56:

Did not mow or do anything last weekend. Had my first significant rain fall during the renovation the last few days.. (From mid July until end of September we received 2.25 inches of rain. Received 1.75 inches since.) Mowed down to 2.5 inches today and moved the sprinklers around....recalbribrated the timer down to 2x a day. Put some seed in the 2 corners which are hard to water.
