I guess the kids want us to have a nice yard too. Both cooperated again this afternoon and i got a couple hours in. First off I put the fertilizer Ethan picked up for me on the lawn. package said 1.5lb per 100sf. I estimated 300sf of lawn ready so I used the neighbor's seed spreader and sprinkled away. Then I read the seed bag and was relieved to see the seed spreader was a Scotts, just like the seeds and the make was on the bag. I even figured out the whole setting adjustment. Was supposed to be 30.5 for existing lawns and 32 for new. well, there were lots of "new patches" so I went with 31. Another confusing thing was the fertilizer instructions. Only had for NEW lawns with the amount to put on. Again, ours is mostly existing and a bunch of patches. I assumed Ethan told the guys at the store what we were doing and they recommended this stuff so.... hope I don't burn out the lawn... Moss, ok, burn away, just leave the few blades of grass alone.
Now that quadrant of lawn has been seeded and watered. I added some "Alyssum" seeds to the front flower beds and watered those too. Those are about the only flowers I could find for partial shade. (Even though that area is pretty much ALL shade, hopefully these will grow. Supposed to smell nice to boot! Watering the garden now and waiting to see sprouts all around.
Next task is to record all my plantings and figure out my thinning schedule for everything.
