You may remember that ten days ago Bruce and I started a project to renovate the grass behind out condo For details see http://candbscene.blogspot.com/2014/11/our-grass-renovation-project-1114.html

| Looking North at the newly sprouted annual rye |
Surprise! surprise! After anxiously days of waiting the Rye grass is starting to germinate. We weren't at all sure it would even germinate. . Ideally we would have aerated the soil before putting down the seed, but we got started so late in the season, that we had little time to prep the area. All we had time to do was to rake up the leaves and put down a thin coat of mulch to provide the seed with some nutrients and protection from drying out... And, oh yes.. the HOA forgot to mention that they were turning off all water to the gardens for the winter months (starting the day we set the seed out). so we also had to water it by hand twice a day. Now we just have to wait to see if it will set in well enough to survive until spring.
