Grass Seed Planting
Newly planted grass seed only 4 days post seeding and it is already starting to germinate! On the left is an earlier planting when I first removed my 1766.5 DeBacco plant about 20 days ago and the exposed soil (if you look carefully) has the little grass seedlings that have a “peach fuzz” look. It has not been easy trying to get grass to germinate and grow mid-summer but keeping it well watered has certainly helped. I have even run my overhead impact sprinklers longer to keep the very surface moist.
The drip tapes water time has been reduced since I do not need the total volume of water that a growing pumpkin plant would need. However, the drip lines are helping as it seems germination is starting in the area around the emitters as they are getting just a little bit more water than the surrounding area on the soil surface. In the main root zone the moisture is even but on the very surface there are some slight moisture differences.
