Hi everyone, here is my 1 month update. I'll give you the best first. This is the back yard, not too many problem here.
This is one side of the front. We had some strong winds so lots of leaves. Do you think I should mow? Dear hubby told me I could buy myself a reel mower, but with all the leaves & twigs, I don't know if I'll be able to use it much this fall. I'm not looking forward to driving on it with our garden tractor either.
This is the back again only from the opposite direction.
Ok, now this where I eat humble pie. I've put more seed down on these spots and have been hand watering because I set the irrigation to go every other day. That spot does get hit by 2 zones, I wonder if the sparrows feasted on the seed. They like to sit in that spruce tree. There is grass there, but thin.
Have done pretty much the same here. Put down more seed and hand water 2x day depending on weather. It's coming, but is gonna be way behind. I have to blame myself here. The problem was I used a drop spreader to sow the grass seed, so I wouldn't be flinging it into the street. Well, obviously it wasn't on a high enough setting. There are also a few places where I didn't get up enough of the dead grass, therefore, poor seed to soil contact.
This is the same side only opposite direction.
General public impression.
