Thanks Darius. I could kick myself for not taking a photo of it before I planted anything. Oh well. I have a photo of what it looked like on July 15th though. What a difference! The thing about Dichondra is that it takes about 3 weeks to germinate in our hot dry climate even with daily watering. And when it does come out of the ground it's just teensy tiny. So you feel like it will just NEVER really start to take off and cover the ground. But the growth is exponential and suddenly ZOOM it just seems to cover huge patches overnight. :-) And even though our grass can get scorching hot during the heat of the afternoon, the Dichondra is always cool and soft to the touch. I love the stuff. :-)
