What is the latest that one should plant winter rye in Austin? I'm
considering overseeding my St. Augustine lawn.

You did not mention how big your yard is, or what your plans for the
winter are, but be prepared, _very prepared_ to mow your winter rye.
I'm being sarcastic here, but does your mower, if a riding type, have a
good heater? I made the mistake of "winteryezing" my lawn some time
back (1 acre) and spent every other week on my riding mower.

Good luck,

I have the standard small suburban lot. So not that big of a deal to
get some extra exercise mowing it (except with the recent cold weather -
brrr). I seeded a couple of weeks ago and it is coming up, especially
in some bare areas where the Augustine won't grow under the trees.
Thanks! -C
