Grass seed germination
I live in the Philly area. In late fall I decided to patch some lawn bare
spots using a ryegrass mixture. I seeded bare spots and covered with about 1/4 inch topsoil as I usually do (usually get good results). Howver, I think I did this too close to the cold weather. It turned really cold a week after I seeded, so no germination. My question is: Will the seeds survive through the winter and germinate this spring, or should I reseed all over again? |

It will survive. Just be careful to not apply any crabgrass preventer to those areas in the spring,until they have germinated and been mowed at least 4 times. The pre-emergence will kill new seedlings,and also prevent their germination. -- -------------------- http://NewsReader.Com/ -------------------- 50GB/Month |
