Bad choice of grass seed

[stcroixman]

i like fescue. thick bladed grass and its very durable for foot traffic.

By nature Kentucky blue has a chemical in it that prevents it
from germinating until it is washed out by the summer rains.

Because it goes to seed in June it would die if it germinated
in the hot July and August sun, but it will germinate in September
after the chemical is washed out and the weather is cooler.

If you keep it wet, not let it dry out, by watering 3-4 times a day until
the water puddles up it should germinate in 14 days, or like Stcroixman said use
one of the Fescues or improved rye grasses now and overseed with
the Kentucky blue in September.
