It's 2017 Seed-Down Day 1 !!!!!

Post by andy10917 » August 12th, 2017, 8:17 am

It's finally here - Seed-Down Day for 2017.

Best wishes and may the rains be gentle and frequent, for all who have spent so many days prepping to get to this day...

The only posts to this thread should be a pic or two of the lawn when you've completed the seeding - other posts will be removed.

Seed down 8/13, early here in NC. Fortunately 2 days in the upper 80s/low 90s before it looks like we cool down.

Yesterday I grabbed the extra supplies I had from the backyard and did the shaded hells strips in the front of the house. I planted SSS shade mix here, this is it for me for the year...

Aerated, amended compost, overseed tall fescue with hybrid bluegrass, and put down starter fertilizer on a one year old new home construction. Front yard turf needed more attention than the back.
