Outsidepride is an amazing company with very good products. I recently purchased some Fireball and Hattrick perennial rye. Soil temperatures are not where I want them to be quite yet however, I did purchase some Royal TDX Bermuda seed a few months ago and was very happy. Fast germination, the majority of the seeds germinated, and low weed pressure. I was very pleased and super excited about my upcoming overseed project. Highly recommended for your grass seed needs.

We ordered 250 lbs. of Hattrick-Fireball rye grass seed per the recommendation of a dear friend, just crossing our fingers that it would work as well for us as it did for her. The seed germinated within a few days and just a week later, we now have a lush green lawn! Fantastic!

Good and fast shipping. Hattrick/Fireball rye is tough to beat. Waiting on the Midnight to germinate & mature, but I suspect it will do well.
