Rick,

Good to get up and see the area.

As we discussed while walking the disturbed area, the newly seeded areas are coming up pretty well overall. I see very little soil erosion and the hydraulic mulch is still present in most areas, especially the steeper hillside sections.  This layer should persist through a second winter here as it slowly biodegrades, but is still providing soil & seed protection as advertised.

As far as the grasses growing, I see great planting success overall, with the exception of a few thin spots. I did bring some extra seed for these thin spots and hopefully this kickstarts these areas.
Overall, we can see the planted rows of grasses that have germinated and are growing. They are slower and smaller than everything else around because it is growing from seed and because of the extended wet and chilly spring we had. We did discuss the tall blue grass species, and it is doing its job well. This is a single season sterile cover crop and should not come back next year with everything else.

Overall, the area looks good and should work on filling in here better this fall as the grasses go to seed and into the next year or two.

Thanks,
Brian
