OT Yard question

[fishboy1]

Figured someone here would know.

The weeds in my yard are blooming and seem very happy. Sprayed weed B gone yesterday.

When Should I overseed fescue to try and have an actual lawn this year instead of the multi colored weed patch I normally have?

Fescue is a cool season grass and should be overseeded in the Fall. September or October.

You can overseed in the Spring but I prefer to use this time applying preemergent and weed killer which would affect young grass.

Uh oh...
Does that mean that I need to plant a different type of grass?

If I kill all the weeds my yard is going to look like the infield of a baseball diamond. Gotta get some kind of grass going.

Yeah, fescue planted in spring won't make it through the summer heat.

you can plant bermuda in may. sunlight permitting.

you can plant bermuda in may. sunlight permitting.

However Bermuda is a creeping grass and will take over everything. It is also dormant in the fall/winter = brown/dead.

Positive is its drought tolerant.

Im just trying to get the yard looking good to help sell the house.

SO would Bermuda be good to seed now for a nice spring/summer lawn?

Thanks for the help. I dont know what grows well in your yard here, except for weeds that is!
