Indeed yes; summer is the highest stress time for grass, worse than
winter. If you live in the North, you want to give your lawn the
maximum time to get rooted before summer, by seeding it in fall when
things are relatively moist again; if you live in the south, you can
get away with seeding in early spring.


This is nonsense. Seeding in the fall almost always results in lots of
dead grass.


September 15 is the best time of year for seeding turfgrass here in N Ohio.
