Where do you live?

Contact your county extension office.

It's not that simple. You need to make sure that whatever you're putting in its place does not need some sort of scarification. IMO, look for native annuals for now, and work towards perennials.

Or you can join one of the swap groups, and get yourself some free plants.

Well everything is "native" to Pangea if you want to get technical.
It's the most common grass planted in the USA now. No reason to say no.

You want a mix of fescue and blue grass.

I don't think OP is asking about grass.

+1, "seed sprinkling" never works as well as established plants.

These are good suggestions

I know scattering is a bit of a crap shoot, but it can yield results. A few years ago I used a wildflower mix and some butterfly “seed bombs” and we definitely saw results. Some came up the first year and more came up the second.

+1 don't let perfect be the enemy of good. The timing might not be quite right for seedlings, but if you pull out a weed, there's a good hole to be filled. Nature abhors a vacuum. Sprinkle some rudbekia, yarrow, bee balm, etc. and see what comes up
