Said It Here

Did I plant my grass seed too early?

Sudden shifts in local weather forecasts after planting can make it feel like you jumped the gun on your lawn. While unexpected temperature drops leave you guessing whether the new growth is in danger, seeds often handle early changes better than expected.
