Earlier this spring I rented an over-seeding machine and over-seeded most of our pastures.
It then becomes very hard to tell what the new grass is going to look like and if and when it has germinated.

Well, today I noticed a spot in our car park where there was a patch of grass.



I then realised that is where I had cleaned off the over-seeding machine before returning it to the rental company. Now if this seed can germinate and grow in a barren car park. Made of built up 3/4 minus stones, then the stuff can grow anywhere.



I was starting to lose confidence but will now keep a sharp eye out in the pastures to see if I can spot any new growth.

The next time I overseed I will sow some into a seed tray so I know exactly what it looks like at each stage of its development.
