Decided to plant in bare spots of lawn which are area 30+ sq ft instead of starting over since NC soil tracks red mud over everything for months when wet. Dug and broke ground, racked smooth, planted part of the 5 lbs, raked to cover seed, watered daily along with two separate days of steady rain. Soil temps according to NC Environmental station web site is 68°+. Been planted 14 days, no sign of germination. Will let you know more in couple weeks.
