A few years ago (before the Internet), I heard that overseeding a lawn here
in the DC area in January was a good thing to do. The idea was that the
seed would work itself into the soil during the daily freeze/thaw cycles,
and by spring it would germinate and thicken the lawn.

I can't find any references to this practice. Did I dream this, or is this
still practiced? Thanks.



For your area fall is best, around mid-late September.

The variety I bought said to brocast the seeds at the end of Oct. after
the first big frost! Nov. was so warm that they all sprouted!
