This is year 3 for my new lawn in the back yard. Had a few weeds in the early spring, but I've taken care of those and decided to extend the lawn in the back yard over to the dogs' footpath.
Section 1: Dug and seeded on 5/21/2023
Section 2: Dug and seeded on 6/4/2023; started seeing sprouts in just under one week.
