     It appears that our very first attempt at producing a thick,
green lawn has not happened. At the recommendation of the professional
landscaper across the street, we used an annual rye with the mixture
of blue grass seed. It appears that the rye, which came up first,
(it was supposed to protect the longer germinating blue grass) has
met the end of its "annual" period. That was supposed to happen. But
it also appears that the blue never got started. So now the lawn is
becoming straw.

     We have consulted the gardening books in our home but they do not
cover the subject of lawn replacement. Therefore, I would like to here
from anyone that has had to do this type of work on their yard. 

     Please mail me any help you care to give.


     Thanks.
