Answer
Hi Mike,

Sure you can.  A lot of the seed will begin to sprout in the spring as temperatures rise.

Go a little heavier than you otherwise would though, as some of the seed might not make it.  Make sure to till the seed down into the top 1/2 inch of the soil otherwise it will be too exposed to make it through the winter effectively.

Good luck!
