Fall Grass Seed

Fall Grass Seed
For northern lawns, cool-season grass seed is best planted in the autumn so it can grow a strong root system before the next hot summer. Elena Elisseeva

Q: I am a Master Gardener trained through my state university’s extension service. The instructors said during my training that the information was based on research and not marketing. I want to plant a large area of grass seed in my yard, but I am having trouble finding what I need. The Master Gardener training said that for my area, grass seed is best planted in the fall, so why isn’t grass seed sold in the fall? It seems all the stores had plenty in the spring and none or very little now. What is left seems to be left over from spring. Are the seeds still any good at this point?
A: Congratulations on becoming a Master Gardener! It is an excellent program that I recommend to anyone who can take the class. (If you can’t take the class, read my book and watch my videos by going to GreenerView.com.)
