KBG growing seeds (seeding early)

I don't know what the process is called but I just mowed my lawn last weekend and noticed the KBG is already growing seeds. Is this early? Is this bad? I have it on a watering schedule every three days and use Revive once per month. The grass is looking great so don't know if the seeding thing is helpful or harmful.
Thanks! |

| Are you sure that the seed heads are coming from the KBG and not from something else? Could you post a picture of what you are describing? |

| I'll take a picture tonight but I'm sure they are seed heads (at least I think I'm sure....). |
RE: KBG growing seeds (seeding early)

| I'm sure you are correct that they are seedheads. What I was implying is if these seedheads are from annual bluegrass (Poa annua) instead of KBG. |

| Oh, I thought Poa annua was a weed or something. I didn't intially plant the grass and was under the assumption it was KBG, didn't know there was another type of bluegrass. So this is normal? |
RE: KBG growing seeds (seeding early)

| Yes, if you have a desirable lawn of KBG, and you also have Poa annua that is undesirable in your KBG lawn, then Poa annua is a weed. The reason I say it like that is because in some parts of the country (pacific northwest, northern california coast), Poa annua is a desirable turf. I will need to see a picture of the seedheads to know if it is Poa annua or not. And yes, there are other types of bluegrass. |
