thedoctor Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 i planted some grass seed on some spots in my yard a few weeks ago (i used the grass seed/mulch mix) when it got warm. since then it's gotten cold again (dropped below freezing two or three times). anyhow, my question is is the seed still good. some folks have told me that the seed won't grow since it got real cold, while others have told me it's fine and will be good to go as soon as the weather turns for good. any insight would be appreciated.

mr_genius Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 i did the same thing a couple years ago, the seed was fine even after freezing temps. when the weather warmed up the grass started growing real nice and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact of the matter some of that seed was dead when it's tossed on the ground, some will never germinate, and some will only germinate under ideal circumstances. And the majority will germinate just fine no matter how you abuse it. Only time will tell. There are a lot of people like that. And I'll bet Grandma FlaSoxxJim has a sayin' . . .

That she did - but it involved penises, pundendae and pumpkins, but no grass. Your explanation sounds like something out of Matthew 13. Dirty rotten atheist that I am, I still used that parable and it's implicit recognition of the existence of habitat heterogeneity to introduce my dissertation seminar. You can take the heathen out of the church but you can't take teh church out of the heathen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
