After a couple of weeks the grass has started to grow and now the seed has germinated over nearly all of the green.
With some favourable weather the grass should continue to grow for some time yet giving a good base for establishing the new green in the Spring.
There are six months before the bowling season begins; a lot of time for the grass to get further established.
