Let There Be Lawn, Part II

Sigh, you may remember our previous adventures trying to grow grass in the small plot behind the house that we call a backyard. The sod looked awesome for a couple months, then quickly faded away, even with faithful watering.

This time around, we found seed specifically for dense shade and decided to give it a try. Dad was kind enough to let us borrow the rototiller and he and Doug spent a day churning the soil and putting down fertilizer and seed. It's been just over a week and we're still searching for some sprouts. How long do we wait before giving up hope of a grassy lawn?

You didn't use anything like Scott's Step One fertilizer and weed preventer or Preen to keep the weeds down did you? That kind of stuff is made to stop seeds from germinating (which would be bad).
