We have a giant bald spot on our lawn from a plumbing snafu last fall. I don't understand why there's so much science involved in reseeding it. In first grade you take a styrofoam cup, fill it with dirt and grass seed, draw a stupid face on the side of it, and you're giving it haircuts by the end of the week.
I seeded nine days ago. Every day since, I've imagined my neighbors peering through their shutters and saying, "Ma, look! That son of a bucket is out watering the dirt pile again!" After spending $30 on the seed, I would've been better off planting three tens and hoping for a money tree to sprout.
"Use fertilizer," you'll say, you smug so-and-so. Yeah, well the genius at Bachman's said no need. Grass makes its own fertilizer or some such nonsense.
My dad did most of the lawn mowing when I was a kid. It's a fatherly activity: gets you away for awhile, pleases the wife. I feel like the ugly spot in our lawn is costing me dad points every day. Maybe I should just sod it.

She found her toes!!!
We're having our whole back yard sodded. If we have any extra, I'll give you a call : )
Holy crap, is that her FOOT?! Ha!
Grandpa John says keep it moist with wet burlap...apparently grass wants to be wet!! Oh, and did you spend your $30 on a shade/sun mixture?? If not, you're screwed!!
