Yes, cutting a plant down will stop it from photosynthesis and isn't really "dead" until it's dried out. So basically theoretically speaking if a plant was pollinated around harvest then you could still potentially save the bud by cutting it down and drying it out?? Or does something else happen to the bud, like chemical breakdown etc.. Very curious. The map will help determine when the last frost should be in your area and when temperatures will be optimal to start planting grass.
While grass can grow at almost any time within the growing season, there are a couple of local weather considerations to make. First, look for any storms that may be coming up. However, it you plant the seeds just prior to a down pour or thunderstorm you may literally be washing your seeds down the drain. Some rain will help your seeds germinate. Too much rain will cause the seeds to runoff towards storm drains, especially on virgin or prepared soil.
On the other hand, if you plant seeds during a drought it will be very difficult to keep them irrigated enough to help them establish roots. If you have an opportunity to select the time you plant wait until the day before or the day of a rain shower to sow your seeds. Secondly, do not plant during an extreme cold snap or heat wave.
These abnormal temperatures will make it difficult for the seeds to germinate. After you plant your grass seeds, you should see new sprouts no later than two weeks afterwards.
In some circumstances, you may see them in only a few days. If it has been two weeks and there are no grass sprouts or very few then reseed and make sure you water thoroughly. I have found that the most important factor when planting grass seed is water. So, when you plant seeds be sure to irrigate the grass frequently and make sure you irrigate well. The dirt should remain moist during germination; just make sure that you don't create a lake in your yard as you water.
Finally, to ensure fast germination and to help create a greener lawn, consider these final tips. First, keep feet off the area as much as possible. Grass seed germinates and grows best in dirt that is loose and not compacted.
Stepping on the soil could make it difficult for grass seed to take. Secondly, make sure there is plenty of water during the first few weeks of growing. Finally, to help the grass seed take quicker and grow stronger, faster amend your soil.
This can be done through fertilizers but I recommend a top dressing of good quality compost. The compost adds the necessary nutrients for plants but also helps keep the soil from compacting. Accept and Close.
