Overseeding Fescue in Cool Weather: Perfect Timing

With warm soil but cooling air, now is ideal for fescue overseeding. Fescue is a cool-season grass; it does most of its growing between now and April. Fertilize at seeding, then again in late November, mid-February, and early April for a thick, healthy lawn.
