The grass seeds I planted early last week are growing into beautiful little baby grasses. They're just like newborn babies... so small and fragile looking. The weather has been cool and rainy, so not ideal for germination. At least I haven't had to worry about keeping the peet moist to hold the seeds in place while they grow. I'm actually surprised it's done as well as it has considering how cool it's been here. I'm looking forward to some warm weather so it can really take off. We have an auto sprinkler system I can set to moisten them down every few hours, so it's no problem if the weather turns hot. If you click on the image to enlarge, you see the fragile little blades peeking out.
In spite of the new blades, the dead spots in the lawn still look quite tacky, so it's good we have the prolific rose bed to distract attention away from the actual lawn. Since Max is the horticulturist in the family, I haven't done much yard work since we got married (nearly 23 years ago)... but I am enjoying tending the rose garden. Can't say I enjoyed tending the dead grass, although I am proud of my new little baby grasses. Unlike real babies, however, if I'm not happy with the results I can just start over!
