Monostand= all one cultivar. For instance, there are probably 50 different cultivars of KB (e,g, Midnight, Midnight II, Award, Nuglade, Blueberry, etc.) Not too long ago, it was always recommended that people use two or more cultivars (a blend) or add a different type of grass (a mix) to keep a disease or insect from killing the whole yard. Suppliers would try to match color, growth rate and blade width so the lawn didn't look too much of a hodge-podge, but you could always tell. Today, most of the individual cultivars have been bred to be resistant to a variety of diseases and it is not necessary to use blends or mixes. Now you can grow a monostand (single cultivar like Blueberry KB), that results in a much more consistent growing and visually attractive lawn.

From what I read making it through the winter is the easy part. The problem with spring seeding is the sprouts can't make it through the summer.

I live in cincinnati and i have already ws almost all of my seeds. we had a few days in the 60s about a week ago, but also some very cold ones. I think that most of them should be ok to be sown now. its supposed to be 16 tomorrow night, then 14 the next night.
