Sowing grass seed in March

Hi all Is it ok to start sowing grass seed now?I am so desperate to start the grass off now.
Thank you for yer help

If it is warmer now in Glos, like here in the southeast,then the soil will be warm and moist, which is the best conditions to sow grass seed.

 

Frost will be very bad news if you sow too soon, Jane - I agree with WOO - wait another few weeks at least.

 

Ooops - I overseeded my lawn last week and we are due another cold snap in a couple of weeks. Ah well, I can always repeat it. :(

 

Well,believe it or not,i actally surrenderd my flower patch over to Mr.fiz at allotments for Valantines day!(it`s a long story and i`m not sure i`ll ever get over it)This patch is in front of his pigeon cree,and he wants to turf it so his birds have somewhere to peck about etc.I`ve been on at him to hurry up and get on with it,before i turn Indian giver and take it back.I read that last month was the ideal time to do it but the whether is so unpredictable it`s probably better to wait a bit longer??...

 

Thanks all.We have decided to wait till end of March now.Here in Tewkesbury all the fields and gardens are waterlogged and flooded.Oh! how I wish the sunshine would stay longer.

 

remember dont sow the seed too thickly or damping off may occur
