Not who you asked, but here is another one:
Planted by my septuagenarian father with just seeds and water. This is three six weeks in. He had to water a bunch at first while it was taking root, but it should need less water than grass. The grass prior was pretty toast, but he took the time to remove crabgrass.
I will take a nap on it next time I visit and let you know :)
EDIT: MB, not three weeks-- six weeks! Apparently, I have experienced a time warp (again) 🙄 SOZ!!
I feel ya. When I find them in the garden, where one expects to find a multitude of bugs, it gives me the heebie jeebies soo bad. It’s def the zillions of legs going mach 9 for me.
