Seeding lawn in Fall?
I learned the hard way you can't drop fescue seed in the summer. My question
is, when can I? Does it have to be spring, or a particular temperature range? I'm in the SF Valley (LA) and want to re-seed some parts of my fescue lawn. The part of my lawn gets a lot of sun Thanks |

Most grasses like to start in cool weather. So choose whichever month is the
coolest with the most rainfall in your area and plant the lawn then. -- Jayel "Me" wrote in message ink.net... I learned the hard way you can't drop fescue seed in the summer.

Planting in the fall has the advantage of letting the grass establish a vigorous root system before it has to go into leaf production. When you overseed, remember to water lightly daily until the new grass is well-established.
