Final round of gly last night and seed down today. Soil temps cooling and should be favorable moving forward.

Update

Day 14



Day 21



We've had some weird weather with high temps swinging 30 degrees some days so monitoring moisture has been a challenge. I opted to error a little on the wet side. Some areas are moving a little slow especially where I brought in some sand. Weed pressure is minimal as of now.

40 DAS

The last ten days or so have been wet and cool. Temps have been around 55* with not much deviation between the highs and lows. Started to see some poa annua plants which is pretty early for our area. I've also noticed some disease issues which is not surprising based upon the weather we've been having.

46 DAS

Finally dried out enough to get in a mow. HOC @ .75. The area closest to the driveway is obviously the most thin. This area also tends to get hit with poa a so I've been pulling any plants I see.

Looking great Wiley! Happy to look back on your journal and see it's possible to get through the blistering N. Cal heat.

Also stoked to see you go with HGT. I'm trying that in my backyard currently and look forward to seeing your results going forward.

Cheers.

@Jeff_MI84 thanks!

@Natron thanks for looking through the journal. As you know the heat in the summer is no joke, not to mention a drought. One thing that I've embraced is dialing in my irrigation practices. The ET guide in the irrigation sub forum was huge for me. Good luck this fall and moving forward into next season.

 

[Wiley]

Thank you!

Hand pulled some weeds before mowing. Overall minimal weed pressure but I do have some poa a popping up. Formal pre applied.





First mow on a fresh overseed by my 9yr old in the back.

Color looks awesome! Jealous that you are still seeing temps in the 60s every day. Enjoy!

 

[Wiley]

Thanks @jskierko! I've followed your reno's and the picture/date documentation helped me relax a bit as things stalled out or were moving slow. For my area we are in prime time for cool season lawns but things should slow done a bit for the next couple of months here shortly.

2022 is starting to ramp up a little here. Temps are the 60's with lows around freezing so growth is still minimal at best but that should change here shortly. Waiting for soil test results that should be here next week so for now it's just planning and pulling some weeds (mostly poa a). Pumped for this upcoming season and excited to see how the reno progresses.
