Hi John thanks for note. I think I can pretty much assure you that it was less me and more the seed. (it is also nice having support directly from experts at the manufacturer.) I haven’t seen the lawn for about 10 days, but I do hear that it is filling in; hope to get another pic on progress soon. The concrete dude was Mr. Paul’s and for whatever reason he kept putting it off. Funny enough, we found our guy because he had stuck a flyer in our fence. This time it worked out, and I think we may go to him when we have patio work later this summer/fall. good one John. ~jb

Hey, jb.

Thanks for this how-to account of re-seeding. And congratulations on your success with it. The fact that you got great results under adverse conditions is a testament to your own skill and perseverance, and the resilience of Pennington’s seed.

Believe me, I’m no stranger to time drains, schedule slips, doing things well outside of manufacturer recommended temperature/humidity ranges, and using date supplies (like your fertilizer).

It can be very frustrating, and often causes me to ask “Why am I doing this NOW?” You must’ve been asking yourself the same thing. But you kept on it, and made what seemed like the most sensible adjustments on your part, and it all paid off. So congrats, my friend, on the good results.

One things I was curious about: What did you end up doing with the lead pavers?

Thanks! And have a great rest of the weekend.

~John
