More seed or more patience?
I seeded this lawn from scratch a couple weeks ago using a tall fescue blend from a local sod company. Beginning the day after I put seed down we got about a week long stretch of pretty heavy rain. I did cover the seed with peat but I think I didn’t cover it deep enough so it all kinda got washed around. Some areas are coming in thinker than others with patches that seem to have zero germination. Should I put more seed down now? Wait a couples weeks for it to thicken more and reassess? Or just ride it out until the fall and then reapply? I’m in MD zone 7B. This photo is 9 days since sprouts started to emerge.
