Thanks for your reply.. Im in the NYC area (Long island)... One part of
the lawn starting coming up this week.. i just seeded the second part
this weekend.. I will cross my fingers it will take..


Not starting a new lawn, but fixing dead spots. I have to say this is
a great time of year to seed. The wet cool weather has done wonders.

Good luck,

Depends where in NY you are. For NYC area, while it's getting late and
past optimum, I'd say you still have a week left, especially if you use
a seed that is faster germinating, (fescue, rye, instead of blue
grass). It's definitely warm enough to get the seed germinated, what
you are dealing with then is how much time it has left to get
established before it gets really cold. And that of course depends on
the weather.

If you're talking about Niagra Falls, that's another story.
