Grass Seed Part III

Ahh - global warming. August 31st and set to be 95 degrees in New England. What's wrong with this picture? Al Gore - help?! On a serious note, the recent heat wave may impact my seed test, and then again it will be interesting to see what the results are during the stress on the newly germinated grass.

So far the Scott's Landscaper's Mix is out to an early lead with the fescues already filling in nicely. Not far behind is the Pennington's Perennial Ryegrass blend mix (which was seeded 3 days after the Scott's & Pearl's). Lastly, Pearl's Premium is just barely showing signs of germination. *The Pearl's blend is a special mix of slow growing/deep root grasses so this isn't a bad sign.

I should have some new updates next week once this hot-stove weather passes.

To Be Continued.....
