Coming back from our little hiatus to update you on the big, fall lawn project.
After a couple of months of dethatching and aerating, I overseeded a couple of weeks ago, set the sprinkler timer to water three times a day at ten minutes each time, and left for Tennessee.
Gone for eleven days, I was anxious as to how the lawn would look when we returned.
As you can see from the picture above, the seeds have sprouted. They're not quite established to the point where I feel comfortable mowing them yet, so I will let them go another week or two before trimming.
It's looking promising. Here's the before picture...
...and here's the after picture.

Really coming on ... always a dilemma though, knowing the right time to mow. Too soon and the young shoots are damaged, yet mowing helps to thicken it up ...
