Looks like rat to me. Watermelon seeds are too small of an incentive for squirrels. Get a cat or two! They are much better than dogs at deterring rodents because they are proactive. I have 3 of them and they spend 90% of their time napping in my garden: squirrels stay at bay, possums also ( except for one that they tolerate on the fence only - not on the ground-) birds do not pick my fruits or vegetables, no rats, no mice = peace of mind. With nectarines, apricots, grapes, plum, pears, tomatoes, cantaloupes, watermelon etc, in my garden, there would be rodents all over the place if it wasn't for them! If you do not want a cat as a pet, associations are giving "barn cats" they are neutered microchipped and vaccinated, they live in barns/sheds and they do their hunter job. But you need to provide a safe place where they can go when it is too cold or too hot, water, food, vaccines, and vet care. Mine are well fed and are spoiled pets so they don't "over hunt" and sleep on our beds. They run after pests but stop the chase as soon as the critters are out of the garden. Good balance. Squirrels are staying high in the trees ( I like squirrels as long as they don't eat my fruits) I keep a stepladder in between my tomato plants, the cat lays on the upper stair and the birds do not even think about my tomatoes: problem solved.

Looks like an ochna. They generally have yellow flowers, followed by the sepals turning bright red (as shown in your photo). The hard, dark center is a seed.

Hi I found these all along Bonita Beach in Southwest Florida (Ft Myers/Naples area) which is along the gulf coast near the bottom tip of Florida, its mid to late September. They were everywhere and they all have small sprouts. Well I brought a couple home and planted them, I'm not sure what they are and was wondering if anyone can identify them / knows what they are! Thanks for all your help

If you want pure fescue, you'd have to renovate. Personally, I don't see any need to do so as that can be a very nice lawn if you work on it a bit. >>What about the yard leads you to believe it's low on resources? I did have the soil pH tested which came out at about 6.8-7. I know the yard was limed a year or so ago. And no doubt it needs feeding from what I understand of the previous owners maintenance routine The slight patchiness, the inconsistent colors, and the differential in growth rates still apparent from late fall. There are more subtle signals like the way the grass' blades spread that point to issues with lesser nutrients and micro-nutrients in your soil. None of that is assured, but it's an indicator that you should have this soil tested and then rebalance it properly--don't blindly throw lime or anything else (other than nitrogen or organic feeding) at a lawn or garden. Improperly balancing the resources is worse than being too low on some as resources compete with each other. Overdoing calcium would, for instance, block absorption of phosphorus, potassium, and most minor elements. >>I was thinking I had a good enough base to overseed with fescue or KBG/fescue mix without having to completely kill off the lawn. Would you agree or disagree if I am wanting to go with that grass choice? Partial disagreement. Everybody tries to get around the soil test, at least until they see photos of lawns that have had them done, fixed any issues, and then used proper care techniques otherwise. Even cheap, builder's grade lawns look fantastic. Properly chosen seed for the locale stops passing cars to admire the greenery. There are few existing lawns that can't be rescued to become extremely impressive. But if you have your heart set on one particular grass type, a full renovation is going to be the only way to achieve that. Since it can't be done until late summer, that gives you the rest of spring and summer to fix any soil problems.
