It’s been awhile since I posted. Life has been busy with a new job and house. In case you all don’t remember me, here’s my old lawn

Oh boy that is a lot of shade! Where are you located?

What type of trees are those planted thick across the back? Some type of Poplar?

Thanks! My property is surrounded by oak. The shade is definitely going to be a challenge, but we the right cultivar it shouldn't be a problem.

Nope, should be doable. Honestly doesn't look TERRIBLE right now. Where are you planning on getting seed from?

I think I’m going to go with Seed Superstore’s ss6000. Here’s a quick updated pic after a lil tlc.

Looks good! I think I'm going to go with Twin Cities Seed this fall if the weather cooperates. They seem pretty well regarded and local. Check them out, might be worth looking into.
