The window is late May thru late August to sprout bermuda seed. Bermuda won't sprout in the spring because it needs warm soil. Another issue is that rye grass makes too much shade for bermuda to thrive. Wait for summer heat, scalp it down, and scatter your seed.

Dchall,

I follow everything on Bermuda. Whats the min. soil temp for Bermuda to germinate?
In the Southern bahamas we hardly have temps below 70-75 of is it ALWAYS better to seed in higher temps for Bermuda?

Thanks. I'll do that. I was wondering what bermuda seed is better Princess 77 or Riviera ? They're about the same price or is Yukon better than both ?

Riviera or Yukon either is good. Should look into ordering it now. They always run out early. March might be to late so the sooner the better

Thanks I ordered 6 lbs of Riviera December 30. Just waiting for it to arrive. I'll post pics after I get it growing.
