Late Spring
By the first weeks of June it is too late for major renovation, seeding, and fertilizing, but during late spring you should:- Rake lightly to remove dead grass and old leaves. Grass can't live under such debris.
- Hand-seed small bare patches. Late spring isn't the ideal time to seed, but you need to get grass instead of weeds into the bare spots.
- Water thoroughly once a week if it doesn't rain. Check for 6-inch penetration and adjust your watering schedule as necessary.
- Fertilize only if you did not do so last fall or in early spring, or if your lawn looks like it is not doing well. A slow-release organic fertilizer is best at this time of year.
- Mow often, but not too short. Cut to about 2-1/2 inches high, and frequently enough so you never need to remove more than one-third of the green growth at a time. Bag thick, moist clippings; if left on the lawn they can smother growth beneath them.
