No, you really need to go back to square one. Use your un-edited image of the 'shadowed' area, open the 'grass' as a new layer File -> Open as Layers. Then change the mode of that layer - hard light might work.
If you used a pattern for the grass, make a new transparent layer, use a selection or layer mask and fill on that layer. Then same as before.
But that might not be the best or only method. If you cannot post the whole 2922 wide image, cut a representative portion out of the original, say 800 x 800 pix (if it is that high) and post that. The grass texture you posted earlier will suffice.
