Over the
last week since putting the 2nd batch of seed down in the paddock
and feeding it with nutrients, the weather has been relatively fine. Trees are
coming out in blossom, crocuses are out and here and there a few Daffodils are
appearing, so spring is on its way. I had a quick look at the paddock on Friday
afternoon and it is still very damp and muddy. There’s no sign of any of the
seeds germinating yet and I expect it’ll be another week or so yet before any
of the shoots appear.
I think
last week I may have mentioned that when I’ve put seed down in the past it
always looks as though it hasn’t taken that well and without any additional
nutrients being put down, it starts to struggle after an initial promising
burst into life. The council have put seed down in the goal-mouths in the
paddock and their grass looked a lot better than mine (The stuff put down in
October). But on Friday when I had a look my grass has burst back into life
again and the council grass is now suffering. My grass got some feed last week
and it’s kicked into action already and the October grass is starting to look
healthy.
I’ve not
put down any additional seed this week, but next weekend I’ll probably get some
put down and I’ll also consider rolling it if it’s not soaked.
