PaulinCt, lets see your fine fescue

15 years ago

Hi Paul,

How'd you make out with your fine fescue planting. Mine came in, then struggled with a bit of fungus here and there. I got nervous that it wouldn't survive the shade being so immature but it seems to have strengthened. I planted in early August. Here's a recent pic(Day 62):

Hey Greg,

Looking good! Mine came in well also, except in some spots along the drip lines of two trees that got hammered by my oscillating sprinkler. But even those spots will fill in the spring, I think, so I am feeling pretty good about this year's efforts.

I'll take a photo or two as soon as I can, but I am busy with last minute exterior painting projects right now, and am running out of time, like real fast...

This is an old post, but wondering how your fescue is doing 9 years later?
