It will grow, don't fret! I planted 96K (full sun) this spring with no underground system and I wasn't about to drag hoses around. We had 2.5 weeks of no rain as soon as I planted and then a batch of heavy thunderstorms that washed 1/3 of my seed away. It came in semi thin with loads of crabgrass and other weeds. I hit it with Bayer advanced weed killer this summer and that killed off most of the weeds and slowed the crabgrass. I haven't fertilized at all. I just overseeded it during the last week of August and I have sprouts everywhere. I'm going to apply a winterizer next month and a very thorough pre-emergent in the spring and I'm quite certain I will have a beautiful 5 blend tall fescue lawn next year. It already looks very nice (tall fescue = super deep green...even in drought) but nowhere near what it will be. I'm guilty of abuse by most standards and recklessness by some but my yard is coming in fine and getting better by the week. Just relax a little and enjoy the new growth.

I wasn't going to participate in this forum anymore, I probably will still maintain my self-imposed exile. I will post, however, that I have recently had some success with hardy cyclamen seeds. I purchased 20 seed, of which 18 successfully germinated. (1 of which died within days of germination, however) I recieved the seeds in mid Feb, I took tap water, allowed it to sit out overnight (to eliminate chlorine) and then soaked the seeds for 12 hours. I planted the seeds into four-pack cells (1-2 seed per cell). I placed the 4-packs into a tray and covered with a humidity cover. I kept the mix (a mixture of Miracle Grow potting mix and sand). I placed the tray into a cold room in my basement. The room was a cold putting-up storage room, when such things were necessary. I began to see sprouts within about 3 weeks (I removed the humidity cover as soon as the first seedlings were about an inch tall)with 17 up by the end of week 5. At that time I moved the seedlings into the warmth and light of an unused bedroom. Currently the seedlings are on a table, in my garage. About a third of them are pushing up their second leaves. At this point my biggest problem is trying to refrain from babying them. I have just recently taken 3 multi-day trips and after unpacking and the wife and kids are taken care of, I will admit to checking on my cyclamen. silly, but I feel like I've invested a lot of time... ~Chills
