It doesn’t really matter when you put the seed down other than the likely hood of birds pinching it. What really matter's is the night time soil temps. Once they come up into 60 - 70 F / 15 - 21 C then seed will grow. You should also take in to account that seeding close to a frost is not a good idea. For best results you should seed in around the top cm of your top soil (as the seed will burn energy getting to the surface) and at a time that will optimize the germination such as late September or late march.
Good luck
