It's been roughly 2 months since I seeded my lawn from scratch, and I decided it was time to post some updated pictures.

The front yard:


The back yard:


These pictures were taken just after mowing. It was the third mowing I've done since seeding. I started mowing on my highest setting, but have since lowered the mower to the 3-3.5" range.

As you can see in the pictures, it doesn't look too bad. There are quite a few weeds and some thick-bladed grasses growing in there. They grow MUCH faster than the good grass so it doesn't look very good if it hasn't been cut in a while. Some of the patchier areas are filling in a little, which is helping. The combination of rain and mild temperatures have kept it green with very little watering.

I'm still mowing with just a push mower (not even self-propelled) and have yet to tackle the back hill. The weeds and bad grasses are getting pretty tall back there, but it will have to wait at least another week until I can get to it. Surprisingly, the back hill made it through our monsoons pretty well. There is good grass growing in several spots on the hill which will help prevent erosion and washing out when I overseed.

I probably won't have any more updates until the end of August when I start overseeding it. Right now, I'm just letting it survive the summer. Soon, I'll begin preparations for overseeding this fall.
