I will do. Shall I water it everyday for the next couple of weeks? Obviously not the days that it rains which doesn't seem that often at the moment down in the South East!
Give it a good soaking rather than lots of little sprinklings. If you have one of those automated sprinkler doo dahs, leave it on an area for half an hour, then move it round the whole area. That will keep it right for a few days. Then repeat until you get regular rainfall, which should be in anothe rmonth or so. Or send it up here - we have enough rain to spare for everyone
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Okay thank you. I'll get home tonight and give it a good soaking all over! No we're good thanks just the odd rain cloud will do...shame summer is over!
Two weeks doesn't seem very long, but the simple answer is you can cut it when it's firmly rooted into the ground and growing strongly. give it a little tug in a few places and if it doesn't lift at all, it's probably OK to cut. Don't go too short though, put the mower on a high setting.

Grass seems to be taking well apart from one small corner. It's been 2 and a bit weeks. When can I give it a cut?
