After walking around the lawn this morning in my slippers, I have come to the conclusion that this is grass self-seeding season. It’s amazing…everywhere I look the grass is growing with shoots full of seeds. I am hoping that somehow this makes the lawn thicker.

Generally, I like to mow the lawn at about 3.5″ to 4″ in height. This gives the grass a nice healthy look and offers the soil some shade so it doesn’t dry out as fast as it would with shorter grass. The higher mowing height also lets the grass self seed.

When I first started noticing that the existing grass was producing seeds, I went inside to grab the camera. I then strolled around the lawn looking for those perfect shots of self-seeding grass. Believe it or not, it’s not easy to take these types of pictures. I did manage to get three decent shots of what I believe to be self-seeding Tall Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass and Kentucky Bluegrass. Please, don’t hold me to what I identify these grasses as. My descriptions are just my best guess. If you know for sure of what they are, please leave a comment.
