Planting the First Seeds of Our Dream

We went up to our property this evening to sow Bermuda grass seeds on the spray zone of our septic system. In order to pass the final inspection, there needs to be evidence of vegetation growing on the spray zone -- we're hoping that we'll get some seeds to germinate. The package says to plant them in the spring while the temperatures are between 70 and 90 degrees. Well, it's spring but the temperature is more than 10 degrees higher than the upper range. Our contractor told us that, even if the seeds don't germinate, we should be able to pass inspection just by sprinkling some seeds on top of the soil -- the idea is to demonstrate that we are attempting to grow vegetation. I hope he's right. . .

Grow grass, grow!
