Sally has been very helpful to me with my yard/plants.
As for grass, WalMart sells a proprietary brand of seed, "Perfect Seed". This stuff is GREAT. Darn near idiot proof (in other words, I can grow it). For the completely bare area, get some builder grade seed. It'll be a combination of annual rye and fescue seed. The annual rye will come in fast and get some grass growing to keep your dirt in place and provide some "cover" for the fescue while waiting for the fescue to come in and get established. This is generally a relatively inexpensive seed. Put it down and then put a good tall fescue down over it. Use a starter fertilizer when you do the seeding. Grass is not a quick fix when dealing with 2 acres. It's going to take time to get it like you want it. I seed my entire yard every year and then focus on a particular area for extra attention each year. I now have grass over most of my yard, but it has taken 5 years to get there. My problem is I have to deal with hills, and the water runoff washed away the seed until the grass could fill in and hold it further and further up the hill.
