Insanely slow seedling growth!

I've also had a germination quandry, in grass seed. A bare spot of 6' in length and only 3' wide. I added bagged soil to the existing soil raking it in ti incorporate. Using Scotts bare patch mix and some straight bluegrass seed and with plenty of rain there was nothing.
So I shook out the entire shaker of grass seed, which should have covered 3 x the area I had, then using the rest of the bag of older bluegrass seed I went for broke. Still nodda.
So I'm watering with a water can with kelp and Wa-Lah! just today I see grass seedlings. This after 5 weeks, way more seed than necessary and rain, rain, rain. Crazy year...
