Should I overseer before winter?


Newly installed hydroseed at the end of July 2024, it's grown in beautifully but I'm wondering if I should look at overseeding before winter starts to set in to give spring a fighting chance before weeds settle.

I'm located in Newfoundland, Canada, so cool season. Currently very wet weather, and night temperatures hovering around 7 degrees Celsius.

Attached photo taken at ~9 weeks post seeding on Septemebr 29. I've been mowing once a week until recently, mulching blades and leaving the clippings.

    WARNING: The window for SAFE seeding in all but the most southern cool season zones (SW U.S.) has now closed. The next recommended window is dormant seeding, when soil temps are too low for grass seed to germinate (under 50F/10C but before the ground is frozen).

    Regardless, if you are you looking for information about how to overseed a cool season lawn? You can find a comprehensive guide [in this post here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/lawncare/s/pUsKCxyvwQ)
