A question on grass

YellowSnow

So I recently de-thatched (hi @MikeDamone ) my lawn and have a queer-eye for the landscaping expurts of the bored. It looks like I will need to do a fair bit of re-seeding this season and am wondering what temps are best for doing this in the PNW. It's not supposed to get above the low 50s in the Seattle this week. Is that too cold and is a better to wait for high in the 60s? Any feedback is much appreciated.

If you can wait until April to re-seed do that. You could do it now, but 65 degrees is optimal.

What a dick tease of a thread title.

usually when it is raining on the 4th of July as we await summer to show up is a good time.

just water the shit out of it if the suns pops out. I cover my areas with goat poop/rotting hay. Sheep shit is also real good, no uric acid in goat and sheep shit - won't burn the new growth.

Get the crabgrass preventer down now, before that starts germinating. The preventer will keep the grass you want from sprouting too, so wait 2-3 weeks and then over-seed.

Plant clover. It's expensive, but softer than grass, fixes nitrogen, and doesn't need to be mowed.

Can't you just hire some illegal aliens at Home Depot and install sod?

Not anymore. It's illegal and non essential commerce.

Pretty sure illegal aliens are already illegal.

Ain't no big thang.
