Should I be worried yet?

This is day 22 of trying to grow Bermuda in a yard full of top soil. 90% of the grass you see is some type of rye grass. Should I be worried yet?

Day 22? That actually looks pretty good, TBH.

Bermuda seed should go down in the hottest heat of summer. Backing that date up into spring extends the wait until the seed sees higher heat numbers. You could put the seed down in February (when they put the seed in the stores :banghead: ), but it isn't going to germinate until the soil gets hot enough. That's what you're running in to here. My buddy in Phoenix put seed down last June and had germination in 3 days. That's how hot it likes it.
