Update on Grass Renovation Project 11/14

Rye grass looking North from our back porch door
I am happy to report that the Rye grass has taken hold and is looking very lush.   The view above is looking north towards the bare spot that was shown in the first post I made on the project.  ( see: http://candbscene.blogspot.com/2014/11/our-grass-renovation-project-1114.html) You can clearly  see the difference between where our seeding stopped and the baren areas beyond begin.

Looking North  from our next door neighbors porch.
 The photo above was taken from almost the same spot as the first photo in  the Nov 20th post.  Look how much the grass  has filled in.  Once the Rye seed germinated it grew unbelievable fast.. almost and inch a day.  We've already had to mow it once.  Yes I said we had to mow it.  It seems that the HOA also forgot to mention that the yard maintenance crew are not going to be mowing the lawns during the winter. Actually that is probably a blessing in disguise as they would probably just rip the Rye up driving their heavy equipment over it.  By the time the maintenance people begin mowing the weather will be warming up and the annual grass dying back.  By that time we will be able to by a perennial sod to replace any missing in the  original lawn.
