    3 weeks. I always find, no matter what it says on the packet, whatever the weather is like, grass takes 3 weeks. and look carefully, it's not green as it comes through, it's brownish til the green pokes out

    It always seems a long time and it's always OH that spots the first shoots and I really have to get down to groundlevel and peer horizontally to see them.

    Good luck! Remember that we still have the odd chilly night / day which will slow down the growth rate as well.
