Parts of the back yard are growing really well (though some aren’t). In my impatience, I decided to try an experiment. I dug 12" diameter plugs of grass (about 20) and transplanted them to the front yard.
I imagine these holes will self-heal and grow over pretty quickly.
There’s still a lot of bare space, but you can definitely see the St. Augustine stolens spreading. Definitely in growing season now.
And remember last month, when I showed the picture of the stolens growing over a large bare spot? Here’s that spot today.
