I live in northwestern Illinois. We've had a few frosts so far.
I had some construction done in the backyard, which tore up about
1,000 sq ft of lawn. I just got it all tilled and smoothed.Do I plant grass now, or wait until spring?
If now, do I just spread the seed? Will it germinate yet this Fall, or will it lie dormant until Spring?
In other words, if I do plant it now, do I water it also?
