Hi. I am writing from Freeborn County Extension.
Cory Shea called us asking about dormant seeding. He applied seed in the fall and with the little to no snow we received, he is curious on what to do next. Should he water his lawn when it gets warm? But it still might freeze as temps dip below freezing.
He is concerned about his yard and wanted some advice.
His phone is<personal data hidden> and his email is <personal data hidden>.
The staff listed on the dormant seeding page (https://extension.umn.edu/lawn-care/dormant-seeding) do not come up in the staff directory to connect with for our office to help Cory get his question answered.
Thanks,
Amy Wadding
