Planting Grass Seeds For Best Results It is a well known fact that the best time to seed your lawn is autumn, after the hottest weather. People must forget this fact though, because most grass seed is sold in the spring. If you do have to seed in the spring, you should do so as soon as the ground thaws. The roots need time to gain strength before the weather gets too hot. In the summer, grass has do deal with dry conditions, hot weather, and competition with weeds. It is tough for it to try to begin growing in these conditions. If you don't seed in the fall, and miss the early spring window, you should make a temporary lawn out of rye grass until you can make your permanent lawn in the fall.
