Hi Everyone,

I live in Calgary, Alberta and just moved into this house, and found in the spring that the lawn looks like it's been neglected for years. I just spread weed and feed on my lawn about a week ago, so it's too early yet to reseed. If I reseed in late October, will the seeds stay viable in our climate over the winter and grow in spring? Or would it be better if I did it in the spring instead? It would be nice if I could do it before winter so I don't have to worry about it in spring...

Also, the soil in my lawn is pretty much just clay and medium size rocks (1" to 3" sized rocks near or just below the surface). It's pretty lush in the shady areas, and gets more sparse and weedy in the sunny areas (weeds are clover, black medic and dandelion). Do you have any other suggestions to help me recover this lawn as fast as possible?

Thanks!
