Is it too late to overseed?

Dissonance
9 years ago

I purchased a house in South Dakota two years ago. Its yard was a wreck! I had the surface removed down to sidewalk level with a skid loader, and then I had sprinklers put in. My grass (Kentucky bluegrass) is now about a year old. The grass along the north side of the house is particularly thin. Beginning in the second week of August, I overseeded. A heavy rain washed the seed away, so I overseeded again. As soon as the grass began to grow, another heavy rain killed it.

It is now September 18, and I have time this weekend to try again. Some leaves just started lightly falling, but the heavy leaf falling is probably at least two weeks away. It sometimes gets as low as the 30s at night although it probably won't freeze until mid-October. My question: Is it too late this year for me to overseed?
