10 days ago I removed all the winter bedding plants from my 4 flower beds.
The bedding plants were yet another spectacular failure.
I've had enough of the flower beds and the wife sneering at me - so:
I forked the soil in the flower beds, sprinkled grass seed and covered with
top soil. The depth was about 4 inches. I gave it a good walking on.
I've kept the soil moist.
The packet of the grass seed states that I should see something like grass
popping up in 5 days.
The weather has not been too bad, plenty of sunshine and a few showers.
It's been 10 days, nothing is popping up and the wife is sneering at me.
Again.
I have chicken fire over the flower beds to keep the birds and the f****ng
cats off.
Is 5 days optimistic for the grass to start to grow?

With sub zero or near temperatures, yes. Grass only gets going at +5C IIRC.

PS the best fertilizer for new grass, ever, is...

Walking on the soil is what you are supposed to do.
Even a thick spark should know that.

I see that I've hit a nerve.
Did you really buy that hovel on that sink council estate?
