spring grass seeding #930776

Asked May 06, 2026, 8:25 AM EDT

Hi, I have to reseed a large bare portion of my lawn. I was wondering if it's too early (or too late??) to do so. I was thinking that soil temps are still too cool, but I could use any input. Thank you!

It's not too late.  Early to mid-May is the preferred seeding time in the Twin Cities area.

A minimum 50° soil temperature is recommended.
