Hi Laura, yes I watered it three times a day and I had to be really patient. Last time we used grass seed, it didn’t work either. I think the difference was “planting it” this time, using the fertilizer, and then watering it often but not soaking it. This time it actually grew! Good luck with your lawn. If you can, try a local place for grass seed because they will know the soil well. At our farm supply place there were lots of options and they helped us pick something for the climate. I hope it grows in a little more dense, but I’m just amazed it grew at all haha. I’m rooting for you (haha).
