Instead of waiting until nights are reliably above 60 before seeding, I'm pretending that the grass seed is in Kansas and experiencing a nice wet spring. I'm watering it every few days, and letting the jute mesh keep it moist. Nights here are starting to be above freezing with days in the 50s and 60s and even 70s, so it should be happy to sprout.

Feb 21) 3+ weeks after scattering seed and upholstering the lawn, a
few days of rain, a couple days of snow, and temps ranging from highs
of 45-75 and lows of 25-45 I have grass sprouting.

Tiny little shoots, but it's grass.
I don't know if this is buffalo grass or blue grama. |
I also have weeds and perhaps some of the wild flower seeds are sprouting. This area will take some time to sort out.
