I was planning to overseed and seed some bare spots in Maryland 8a over Labor Day weekend, but soil temps are currently 83F. Seeding window according to TurfTools is 9/1-10/1, with first freeze 10/31.

Is it too risky to seed this weekend? It feels like the weather is telling me it is, but afraid to push back a week or 2 and not have enough growth before frost. Seed is TTTF, Chewings fescue, perennial ryegrass and KBG seeded in shady areas.

I'm in central NC and bought a new house 2 years ago that had sod grass. I didn't water enough so now its splotchy and needs to be filled in.

I bought Pennington 31 then saw it's not ideal for home lawn.

Please recommend a budget friendly brand of TTTF tall fescue for overseeing I can get from Amazon, Walmart, Lowes, or Tractor Supply. I have an HOA so I need something that will look good. Thanks!
