If you plant buffalo it needs to be in the hottest part of the summer.
Just moved. The new house has decent grass and a sprinkler system that works. It hasn't been taken care of for several years and there are some broad leaf weeds coming in spots. Can I spray them now? Would it do any good?
Your best off doing just that. The weed and feed and preventive treatment you do next spring should fix the crab grass until fall when you dethatch and then overseed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Somewhere in this thread a stud poster recommended a battery powered trimmer from Lowe's. Man, I love that thing. Had it two or three summers. Finally killed the first spool of string.
You should be OK. Grass is just like wheat; it lies dormant during cold weather. The seed will not sprout until you get a week or two of sunny warm weather, which is a good thing due to the sprouts are most vulnerable to cold/hot weather.
