I am in Z6 as well and last year I planted pumpkins 4 times before I got them to grow with out the bugs killing them. So I would think that you could still get some in if you wanted. They may not turn out as big as you might like but I bet you can get a few. I did use some milk jugs over them as long as I could just to protect them and get them growing and I think it helped. We got one good size one and 3 average size ones. Worked for us. Go ahead try it! My Garden Blog

How about clover. Germinates fast it's not going to get smoked by disease like rye and you don't have to fertilize much.You can kill it easily in the late summer/ early fall when you seed tall fescue Here is a link that might be useful: Clover seed

Probably too late now. I seeded Seashore Paspalum (very similar to Bermuda) last Labor Day. It came up nicely, but was killed off by the winter. I re-seeded in June this year with Triangle. Looks great now and should survive nicely.

PM2, go ahead and sow both the columbine and the California poppies now. Those columbine seeds will germinate whether you plant them out during the winter or in the spring. Just remember that columbine can be very slow to germinate or very fast. Don't give up on them if they aren't any sprouts in June, or July or even August. I had several containers out and nothing all spring and summer, then low and behold come, Labor day weekend, the seedlings decided to say "hello". They grew very quickly too, much faster than in the spring and I planted them out in early Oct. One good way to plant the columbine seeds is to use an individual container for one plant. make it at least 5-6 inches deep. Then put about 15-20 seeds right in the center of the container. Press the seeds into the soil, but do not cover them with any soil. cover and let mother nature do her thing. When the seedlings are ready to plant, then just take each container and make that one plant. That's how the seeds are sown at nurseries and that's why the plants we buy are so large. They put that many seeds in one container to make one plant. Oh, no need to soak the columbine seeds. The California poppy seeds. I never put them out before mid March at the earliest and have put them out as late as mid April as well. Just sprinkle them on the top of the soil, press them into the soil and do not cover the seeds with any soil. They will germinate just fine and no need to soak them either. Fran
