A cool guide to when you should plant grass seed (most people are 3 weeks late)
u/seedblender — 6 days ago

Eastern MA, (zone 6b) last week’s heat wave. I didn’t water at all.
The grass browned out and went dormant. The white and microclover I overseeded into it stayed green the whole time. (Working on transitioning to more and more clover over time). Deeper taproot, plus it fixes nitrogen for the grass.
Less water, less fertilizer, never looks fully dead in the worst week of summer.
Happy to answer questions about the blend or the seeding.
I’ve noticed an uptick in rabbits in my yard that has a lot of clover (both white and micro) mixed with grass. Anyone else have rabbits eating your clover? Are rabbits attracted to it?
