*Based on not having any extra watering. If you have decent soil and access to water for the first 4 weeks of growth you can plant almost anytime. Never plant during a drought though.
It occurred to me that you might like to see a lawn that was planted and maintained using the some of the products from this site.
The pictures here are of my old lawn at 6 Dog Team Road in early spring after the first mowing. You may be surprised to know that I let the Clover, Creeping Charlie and other, so called weeds, participate in the community of plants that is a lawn. they're green and sioft under your feet and last even when there is a shortage of rain or too much rain.
Clover, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Alfalfa, Creeping Charlie or Ground Ivy, all contribute nitrogen to the soil and reduce the need for fertilizer inputs.
Control of these plants is done by proper mowing methods. I try to get the dandelions before they go to seed heads but, don't worry too much as, the bees need them in the early spring when nothing else is flowering and the winter stores at the hive are used up.
During the growing season, I fertilize using the Neptune's Harvest products and the occasionl broken bag of organic fertilizer that pops up here sometimes.
In the spring, I sometimes I had to mow more than once a week.
