After a couple of "sunny Seattle" days I've got the itch for a Green Lush lawn...Any suggestions?

1. Lawn is not as lush and full as I would like/expect
2. Greenish yellow patches in a lot of the lawn

I'm no expert on lawn diseases, but it doesn't look like you have anything to worry about from the photos above. Any yellow/brown bits are more winter-caused than disease issues.

1 and 2 are frequently caused by a shortage of nitrogen, although feeding right now isn't a great idea. Your lawn is trying to build roots during the spring and a heavy feed is going to force that growth up top instead. Ultimately, that weakens the lawn a bit instead of enhancing it.

Sit tight for a bit. If I fed using a processed fertilizer, I wouldn't do so until mid-May here in Pennsylvania. Organics differ and I could feed it right now if I wanted (I did it in January, actually, and I'll use a high carbon, low nitrogen mix in March).

Somebody on here who's local to you might have a better schedule. I can only wing it where you are.

It's a bit late to frost seed for you guys, so reseed in fall if that's required (those of us in the NE still have a small window of opportunity to frost seed).

M,

Thanks for the information.

I would like to stay organic as much as possible...Any reccomendations for this...Also any reccomendations to sop the weeds taht are going to come int eh spring?
