Only 8 days since our hydro-seeding we have tiny shoots of grass shooting up all over the yard! It’s tough to see them since they are camouflaged in the green color of the hydro-seed mix. Interestingly enough, I also took a closer look at the hydro-seed mixture and I found some print on parts of it… I think it is recycled newspaper. neat! If you think you see $0.25 in the photo, you’re right. I dropped a quarter in there for perspective. The few larger shoots in the picture are not from the seed, they have been growing on their own since we moved in… You can see the new shoots have a darker color base and are greener on the tiny soft tips… I checked out the roots too, they are pretty long already, some over an inch! They say when the grass gets to be 3-4 inches tall it’s time to mow… we’ll see if we get there before it starts snowing. It’s been oh-so-nice to use the sprinkler system to water the yard and keep our new grass happy! It’s funny since even though i don’t have to wake up to turn on the sprinklers at 7:30am, i still like to get out of bed and watch them do their thing.

Nice grass. I thought the quarter was a lid to a tin can.
