You can mix tall fescue and KBG, it's done all the time. When planting a TF/KBG lawn the general recommendation is 10% KBG by weight of the total seed mix. Many people have a lawn that is commonly called a "northern mix" which is a mix of KBG, PR (perennial rye), and FF (fine fescues). I guess it all depends on what you want for your lawn, and what your lawn will support. Fungal diseases are a fact of life for most people with nice lawns. Even the best cultural practices aren't enough stave off all fungus. As a lawn ages it generally becomes more resistant, but in stressful times you have to be very vigilent. There are fungicides you can use at the first sign of infection that do a pretty good job. Once the grass is killed by fungus nothing will bring those blades back unless the roots and crowns are still alive. Your plan is pretty good, but keep in mind that you can only apply weed killers below a certain temperature, or else it can kill your grass, so always read the label. Also if you plan on overseeding certain weed killers can inhibit germination if applied a short time before you lay the seeds. Again, check the label. Water when the grass needs it. Usually you can tell if grass needs water, by it's color and generally appearance. If you aren't getting rain then your plan is pretty good. If it's really hot and sunny then a quick midday watering helps cool the grass and supplies a bit to the actual grass. After I aerate I like to rake the lawn to remove the dead grass and break up the cores. Yes, use starter fertilizer when you seed. I like to use half the recommended rate at seeding, and the rest after the first or second mowing. Perennial rye and fine fescues have fine blades. Some KBG is very fine bladed as well. Not sure what you are looking at, some pics would really help.

I try to live organicly and am curretnly evolving into a vegetarian again. Dont know if I could ever give up butter though, at least I eat organic butter if I do. My gardens are organic and I feed my farm animals organic feed or allow them to free range on walks with me to eat untreated grass or shrubs on my property. I avoid processed foods and dont use chemicals in general on my body. Fortunately I dont stink too bad and if I do I live on a farm and the animals just dont really care. When I go to the city I am always amazed how many people wear heavy scented smells of cigarettes, deoderants and perfumes etc air fresheners in car and have asthma at the same time?! In an elevator I can almost gasp for air with all the chemicals and it seems nobody else seems to mind. I dont use bleach, or actually have no reason to use bleach. I dont use it in my wash and my clothes look clean and fine. I was raised by a military officer who was a strong republican and the family was very typical, microwave ovens, allumiumn foil, artifical sweetners, sodas, lots of candy and processed foods, deet sprayed all over our face and arms and legs every summer, flouride treatments, nail polish, weed and feed, pre emergents on the lawns, raid when there were insect pests, new carpet shag with lots of formaldehyde and decks with pressure treated wood that is now illegal, Heck I even siphoned gasoline with our garden hose for the lawn mower using my mouth to create the suction and draw the gas out of the tank. Then I attended an environmental college and I went cold turkey and became more natural and in step with nature. It means different things to different people. But nurturing yourself and your family with organic methods is what I try to do. Once enlightened about what risks I am actually taking with my choices it becomes easier to be more responsible as a organic gardener. For me it doenst just stop in the garden, for the intent is more than just growing the food, its how its prepared, is it being counteracted by wrapping it in alluminium?! or plastics?! Its a bit and a lot of what everyone else has said, its just p[lain respecting yourself enough to become as responsible as you can and still live life.

Dotty, that will work. I have overwintered PFG 3 or 4 years now. We bring the pots into a lightly heated garage. The garage has west facing garage door windows. We water about every 10-14 days and cut them back in the spring like other grasses. I don't have room for them in the GH right now, but I thought about bringing them out into the GH the first of March to see if I could get them going a little earlier this year. (Probably won't have any more room then either!) - SB

Cindy has some great ideas. I also like to start with bulbs. Some tulips can be planted so that you have some blooming early,mi and late spring. Maybe some of the repeat blooming fragrant iris. They bloom 2 or 3 times, spring, mid summer and fall. Not many nurseries carry them. I order mine on the net. I love the little dwarf iris...they bloom with the crocus and are adorable. There are also repeat blooming fragrant daylilies in all heights and colors. Again, these usually aren't found in most nurseries. I get mine on the net. The autumn sedum that Joe suggested is beautiful in the fall, and great sage green foliage in spring and summer. Sedum is so hardy...and I take clumps off mine and put it in spots that won't grow anything else! Peonies are a great idea. They need quite a bit os sun and tend to spread, but can be controlled. A couple roses would also be nice. What type of roses do you like? I wouldn't mess with a hybrid tea rose at this point...you will be busy with all the other new babies and the T's can be fussy at times. A nice, small David Austen old english rose bush would be nice. I love the new "Golden Zest"; yellow, old english. OMG it smells good! Also, a trellis with a climbing rose in a color that would compliment your house color. If you post on the "antique rose" or the "rose" forum you would get some great advice. I also have a fountain. I have perennial herbs around it. I keep them trimmed so they don't go to seed until late summer. I buy a couple products that keep the fountain free of algae and also soften the water. I have lost a pump due to mineral build up. Also, then the birdies can bathe and not be harmed. Maybe anchor the garden on one end with a small dwarf lilac bush? Keep in mind that nothing is permanent and plants grow differently in each garden. Plants can be moved. Keep us posted!
