Hello,

Was wondering if anyone could help me?? when is the latest I can put grass seed down???

Hi and welcome to the forum. I took the liberty of moving your question about grass seed to the Lawn Care Forum, where a lot more people will see it who might be able to answer your question.

However, I don't think anyone will be able to answer it until you tell us whether you are in Portsmouth Ohio, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Virginia, Oregon, or England (or I'm sure there's some I missed). It makes a big difference. Preferably tell us where you are and what USDA hardiness zone you are in, and/or when your frost usually starts in the fall.

The more info you can give us, the better answers we can give you!

Usually you want to plant grass seed in spring or fall. Summer's usually too hot and winter covered in snow. If you know you're gonna get a good rain you can try, I can never get grass seed to grow without it raining.

It is best to plant it when the soil is about 59 deg. no less than 50Deg. You want the daily air to be no less them 50 deg. If you are from Maine Sept. would be OK. There are cool grasses and warm grasses. Your store should sell the right mix for your area.
If you are not able to water then plant just before it rains.

Thanks for the help!!! oh and its portsmouth england!!

Thanks again.

Now is the time in England and no later than mid-September.

I like to seed my yard in spring and fall, the grass seeds I use recommend that the temperature be between 60f and 80f degrees. this information is usually printed on the bag.
