Be happy you're getting grass. All I get is chickweed that I have to fight every year.My entire yard is new (sod in October 2010), and about 2-3 weeks ago some wheat-looking stuff started growing throughout the whole thing, both front and back. My yard people came out and said it was normal, and said it was the grass re-seading itself. I haven't noticed this in my neighbor's yards. What gives?
It's probably annual rye, they use it to establish roots to the soil beneath the sod and as an erosion barrier until the new grass is established. It should only come in for one year.My entire yard is new (sod in October 2010), and about 2-3 weeks ago some wheat-looking stuff started growing throughout the whole thing, both front and back.

Thats how you get thicker prettier grass.
When the grass is freshly cut, you can't see it as much. After a few days it just takes over. Nobody else on my street has it, including the houses that were built and sodded during the same timeframe. All the sod comes from the same place. Just don't understand why my yard is infested with this stuff.Well evidently the wheat field is a much better look.
Oh my!
