I am hoping yesterday's warmish rain and the sunny 70* we had here today gives it a growth spurt. Although I had been watering the seed and sprouts, my unscientific theory is that our cold 55* spring fed well water doesn't promote growth as well as a warm rain.
The same affect can be seen with the tomato plants and the flower beds. Hose watering will keep them alive, but once they are hit with a warm rain they grow like they are on steroids.
