Not a great pic, but it shows the wheat/fescue growth in the background (where I mowed.)
This was all planted late last summer, after the earth moving was completed.
I was up there all last week dumping lime, fertilizer, and more seed. I also cut some cedars for cover. At the end of the week, we had three days in the upper 70s. It seemed to grow an inch each day. I decided to mow Saturday morning, because I knew I'd be gone for a while. My concern was the fescue would receive no sun, if the wheat got too tall. I am probably way off base.
Right where I'm standing, when I took the picture, is where Rainman's boat trailer was parked, so I did not get it seeded very well. The straw mat is visible in the bare dirt though. I put down five of the mats.


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
