yes...more simply put I was asking if you had a roll bar of sorts on your mower or if the grass naturally leans over. I did get my height down to around 1.5in before overseeding but the rest of the turf has really taken off from all the watering I've done. I'd rather wait as long as possible considering that I checked the new seedlings and although they are roughly 1-2in tall, they pull right up when I applied just a slight amount of "tug" to them. As for the rest of the lawn (the original sod was laid last spring), the blades are nearing 4in. I did purchase a reel mower which I've read helps reduce damage to seedlings but the reel mower did not come with a bag attachment and the longer I wait, the more thatch I could create with the clippings. The mower I bought also only adjusted to a max 2.25in. (the only one I could find was a "task force" reel mower and I actually plan on returning it once I'm done as I've heard these aren't the best long term) Just feels as though I'm in a catch 22 here. How do you post pics on this forum? I tried with my initial thread but typing out the image brackets b/w my url but it didn't work ( [img][/img] )

As far as management goes, which at this point I can really 'see' the color difference and it is growing faster than the fescue, and also I've been seeing some seedheads low to the ground. This make me think that it is poa, and if not, it still does not look real good. As far as fixing the problem, I have two situations: The backyard has only a few spots and they are small. Thinking of cutting them out, down to the topsoil, and filling in with....new topsoil? mulch? Basically something there to hold the shape until I can re-sod the patches in the spring. The frontyard, I'm afraid, has the poa more dispersed. A lot of it upon closer inspection. I figure I can just let it be, and if it is poa then it will take over. Either way the front lawn will be redone in the spring. If it is not poa, then I have a nice yard come springtime. Any thoughts? Anything I am missing? Thanks again all !

No, it's not triangular. It's more like a little flatter and taller than the boat shape kbg. I asked the lady at the nursery if it's anything to worry. She said it's probably just new grass that was mixed in with the seed. But what kind of kentucky bluegrass would look this bright green? I've patched up partial renovation on another part of my lawn and it came in much darker than that and did not sprout that fast. The bag I used had some wildhorse kbg, would that be a bright green at first and eventually turn darker as it matures? I attached another picture, and I will pull some out from the root and get a closer shot. Its actually in a few other places in the lawn in very small patches. I really don't know. The only reason I was inquiring was because my lawn is finally an okay looking lawn. It's uniform, no big dead spots or anything, some weeds, this is the worst spot of my lawn behind the tree. I just don't want this patch taking over half the lawn. It seems to have spread fast. The pictures really do not show the true lawn. The color looks very washed out. The lawn looks much darker green 95% of it with a slight blue hue, and that bright spot looks brighter green in person. Should I maybe spray this with a selective herbicide and see what happens? It's sort of hidden behind the tree, so even if it kills it, I could always try a late reseed of more kgb in that whole spot. This post was edited by ligrass on Sun, Sep 22, 13 at 20:26

There ya go Siam, a new project!! I think I had tried to look up how long they take to bloom from seed, and had no luck on finding any info. If you find out, please let us know. I rcvd my seeds from Karyn, and also had just about 100% germination. lmao Karyn, I KNOW!! I didnt expect so many to take, I prob have about a dozen seedlings, maybe a lil more, lol. I shared some seeds with Brenda Sipher up in NY. Karyn, the Mock Orange and Mimosa germinated very well too. No luck on any of the Yellow Allamanda yet, it's been months..did yours germinate? Of course that's what I was MOST excited about growing, lol. They are outside and I am hoping if this crazy weather ever warms up and stays that way, they'll sprout. I soaked them..but was I supposed to peel them or something?
