Grass Seed Planted in front yard (5/15/11)

The front 8 feet of the yard was sodded by the city a few years back when the street was re-done.  It was not taken care of so the grass was dead and full of weeds.  Mike spent some time taking out extra dirt and smoothing it out.  We removed some fake plastic "brick" edging along the front of the house.  There were 2 other spots in the yard that needed grass too.  We finally got the put down seed mid-May.  Mike chose Kentucky blue grass and neglected to tell me how quickly it would come up.....quick is the wrong word I think!  It took about 3 weeks before the grass started to come up.  It filled in great in a small circle section close the sidewalk up front, but the rest turned out really patchy.  Mike put seed down a second time and it came in a little more, but it still patchy.  Apparently it will be much more filled in next year.....I just hate waiting! :)
