Dichondra Seed (Dichondra Repens) 

Dichondra is a perennial ground cover that grows into a low, dense, lush carpet. Dichondra is a warm season plant, and it performs best in mild/warm climates. Dichondra spreads by under ground runners or stolons. The small kidney shaped leaves, about a half inch across, have a tendency to grow somewhat larger, with longer stems, in shade. In its massed effect, dichondra has the appearance of clover, and the resulting thick sod is usually 1.5 - 2 inches high. Dichondra is surprisingly tolerant as far as various types of soil are concerned, and has proved to be successful in both the sun and shade.

Seed Rate: 1.5 to 2 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.
Seed Depth: 1/4 inch
Planting Time: Spring, Summer
Fertilizer: 1/2 to 1 lb. per 1000 sq. ft.
Mowing: 1/2 to 1 inch
pH: 5.5 - 6.2

Planting Directions
Dichondra can be grown from seed very easily.  The recommended seeding rate for coated Dichondra is 3 pounds of seed per 1,000 square feet.  The best time to sow Dichondra is from March through May; midsummer planting will germinate faster but will need careful, frequent waterings.  Planting early will produce sturdy root systems that can take mid-summer heat and some water stress.

For New Lawns:
Prepare the seed bed as you would for a new grass lawn. Dichondra seeds sown in spring do not need mulch; just rake the seed gently and roll it with a light roller.  If you sow in the summer, use just enough of a light mulch of damp peat moss to cover.  This will help keep the seedbed moist.  DO NOT LET THE SEEDBED DRY OUT !!!

Caring for Dichondra Lawns:
Dichondra needs as much care as most grass lawns for a neat appearance.   It needs regular, thorough waterings to maintain a deep root system, especially during hot weather.  It also prefers frequent light fertilizing.  Fertilize with the lightest application recommended, according to label directions, once every 2 to 3 weeks. 

Depending on what you want your Dichondra lawn to look like,  you can mow it frequently, seldom or not at all.  Grown in full sun and given lots of use, Dichondra stays low and even, needing mowing infrequently, if ever.  Dichondra grown in the shade or given little use may need frequent mowing to give it an even appearance.

Mowing to 3/4” height (higher during hot weather to avoid stress) will encourage a small leafed, even Dichondra lawn, but you will need to mow it regularly. You can mow at a 1-1/2 to 2” height more infrequently; this will promote a less consistent texture and leaves of varying sizes.

If you mow Dichondra too close, you’ll get a scalped look; top dress it with a light  mulch to help it come back.

Dichondra flea beetle can devastate Dichondra lawns.  The first signs of the disease are browning leaves with engraved lines where tissue has been gnawed.  To control, apply diazinon as soon as possible, following label directions carefully.

The best weed control is simply to keep you Dichondra lawn growing so luxuriantly that weeds cannot get a root hold.  If you do find weeds, hand pull them before they have a chance to spread.  If you decide to use chemical weed controls, it is very important to purchase a product especially formulated for use on specific Dichondra lawn weeds.  Follow the label directions exactly, as Dichondra can be considered a broad-leafed weed and general broad-leafed weed chemicals would also kill Dichondra.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
