Graham & Brenda Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Does anyone know roughly how long it should take grass seed to germinate at this time of year. I sowed it 8 days ago and not much seems to be happening. I've sown seed before in the UK and seem to remember it took less time - I don't know whether the type of seed also makes a difference. Either that or maybe I'm just being impatient!Graham (16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantine<br><br><br><br>Susie Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 It might not look as though it's grown but if you get down on your hands and knees with your ear to the ground (really!!) and look across the seed bed from ground level you might see some little green blades poking up. If not, I would expect very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarymary Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Just had to reply to this: We live in the Charente too and sowed a new lawn nine days ago. As I am a very impatient person, I kept going out to check for any signs of growth and today there are definate signs of the seeds sprouting (along with loads of weeds, I hasten to add)! I don't mean to insult you as a gardener, but you did rake it in and water it, didn't you? 'Cos we did have that hot dry spell just before Easter...Anyhow, hope that by the time you read this, your 'green sward' is coming on nicely. Best of luck.

Graham & Brenda Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Yes, did all the usual prep and was relieved to see it appear at about 9 days. It's coming on well now thanks.Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
