+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

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


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


Uh no...


Oh come on, I bet you say "no" to everything don't you?
