This spring James and I have spent a boat load of $, time and effort working on improvements to the hayfield.
The w/e of April 25/26 we finished the dirt work at the hayfield and seeded those areas with Cheyenne II berumuda seed. Approx. $800 just in seed.
Then the rain started. It has rained and stormed several times a week since we planted the seed. I really thought we had lost at least 75% of it. Since the seed is about the size of pepper, if it gets covered any deeper the 1/4 inch, the seed won't come up.
I had been dreading going to the hayfield to check on the grass because I thought the rain had washed the majority of it away. We finally went over to the hayfield Saturday afternoon and checked the areas we had planted. I was very excited to see that we only had maybe a 25% washout. Where the areas didn't get washed out, the grass was coming up nicely, about 3/8 tall.
I was thrilled! Now, just wish we had taken the camera. I'll get some pics this weekend and post them.
