Looks good, just like ours last fall. We had beautiful rains for 2 weeks after we planted and I had a great stand of grass and even had to mow once before winter set in. I hope you get the light rains you need and not the downpours we got after my neighbor did his lawn last spring. A year later and his 'lawn' looks terrible and needs to be completely re-done. There's a fine line between enough and too much rain!

WHY would you willingly make that much lawn (to mow)? do you have nothing better to do with our time than MOW? I have about 2 acres to MOW and am trying to think of ways to kill the grass so I spend less time mowing:)

Eric, now I am sure you are going to fertilize it, water it, then have to mow it twice a week. Nice having a great yard.............what a job you have accomplished.

Nice job, i planted 4 acres 2 months ago and it was hard work. I now have a nice green lawn and it was well worth it! Make sure to update with pics.

The grass still has a little filling in to do but in a couple of months there wont be any bare spots at all.
