When my ground temps gets close to 0°c, I'll stop watering. It's still at 10° first thing in the morning right now.

My outside thermometer was reading ~5°C this AM but obviously the ground should be holding a little more heat, right?
Digital meat thermometer, it was 6° air temp this morning but 10° an inch into the soil and it's a couple degrees warmer three inches down. Normally I'm not this anal about checking temperatures and watering, but since I overseeded so late I want to give them the best chance.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

That's more than just anal, that's like prolapsed colon from a traffic cone or something
I am still watering but reduced from 30 min to 10 as it's not as hot.
So how much growth is needed? Also, will this thicken up or will I be doing this again next spring? Never seeded before.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Edit: seed down Sept.4th

I touched the meat thermometer on the oven element one year to make it beep so we could eat before 21:00.
Profit.

Looks good. Keep up the routine. Might be tough coming back in the spring if we don’t have a warm fall to get it really established.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I nuked my embarrassing amount of weeds and particularly clover with Killex a few days ago. Today they stuck out like a sore thumb which I assume is because of how the chemical works to cause their hyper growth to explosion... But today I cut the lawn hard and trimmed hard. Now I'm worried that without their leaves out to continue their hyper growth explosion, they will be back with a vengeance next year...
Sigh?
Rain, glorious rain!
My lawn reno is done. Aerate, top dress, overseed. One week later I have germination. Weather continues to be in the mid 20s. West Coast life ain't bad.
Cut down my watering time and frequency last night..5 min every second day just to keep it green a bit longer. Don't know if it's the right way to do it this time of year, but will see how it goes.
That's what I've been doingThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
A bit longer at a couple of the bits underneath the couple small trees I have as the soil was basically dust underneath them when I aerated
