If I were to sprinkle these seeds around the grass, is there any chance that they would grow/flourish? Would it help if I mowed the grass first? Or would I have to disturb the soil first/remove the grass/go through the normal seed growing routine?

I live in Buckinghamshire and like the rest of England, it is insanely sunny at the moment

Thanks for any feedback!
