Default RYE grass-

My mom has a neighbor (with a very big house & very big yard) that has mixed
his grass seed. Rye & Fescue and he has a beautiful lawn. I would ask him,
but not to crazy for him, if you know what I mean. I'll just go to Lowe's
and ask them. I've never heard of anyone say that they had a hard time
mowing it though. I guess I'll have to do some more research on it. Thanks!

Anyone from the south want to put their two cents in?

Not familiar with NC, but in our area (TX), Rye is a winter grass and
usually dies off in the heat. We have two kinds of Rye. One doesn't come
back one does. I planted some in the back yard six years ago and am
still
trying to get rid of it. It is a nice green in the winter, but it is very
hard to mow. Seems to contain a lot of moisture and tends to clog up
under
the mower deck.

Frankly, I wouldn't suggest using it.

When is the best time of year to plant RYE grass? I'm in N.C.
I didn't know whether it was a different time of year than other grasses.
