Kay, I absolutely agree with you and I'd be upset too. I'd think that people should know better than to trade seeds for plants, but... Cathy

Hi everyone - first time poster in the Lawncare forum. Great stuff on here from people who obviously love their lawns. My lawn is very small in comparison to most people with yards, however, it's very big compared to many people in S. Philadelphia, at over 1200 sq. ft, where many people around here have concrete or patios for yards. The lawn is one-year-old mostly TTTF (Tall Fescue?), that is from sod. As the sod was expensive and I'm determined to have a nice-looking lawn, I've been doing my best to take care of it. I aerated in the spring, after which I used corn meal gluten as weed preventer/fertilizer. I aerated again this fall and decided to do my first overseed project based on what I've learned here. I dethatched, and then aerated, and then used Scotts Tall Fescue premium blend, 14 days ago, and had been watering 3x now down to 2x and will switch to 1x daily tomorrow (oscillating sprinklers that unfortunately get stuck when I'm not monitoring them). Now the lawn looks lush and green, and the sprouts are about 3 inches high. Can I mow it yet? I don't want to smother my seedlings or squash them with my walking and my Black and Decker electric push mower (very lightweight). Can someone give advice to a new lawn afficionado? I will try to take a picture later this week. Thanks.

My plan is to separate the planter in the Spring. Personally I wouldn't have put a succulent in this arrangement. As you mentioned the watering requirements are so different at least one of the plants will be unhappy. Plus, because they wanted the planter to look full immediately they have over filled it, not allowing for any real growth. I have treated the arrangement and will give it a little time to acclimate to its new environment then repot it into a better arrangement with better soil.
