You can seed immediately. You do need to get the dead stuff up though so the new seed comes in contact with the soil. If you have a bunch of little spots, you might spring for one of the all-in-one patch products. It is hard to keep a bunch of little areas watered well enough to get grass started.

The Bayer 3 in 1 product is not a soil drench, I think you mean the Bayer All-In-One Rose and Flower Care Concentrate. I assume your roses were all purchased as actively growing potted plants. You might give them a couple of weeks to recover from the transplant before applying the All-In-One, mostly because this product contains a 6 week supply of soluble fertilizer. You might think about some of the drawbacks, as I see them, to the Bayer product: 1) You are forced to apply a water-soluble fertilizer in relatively large amounts. No allowance is specified on the label for the size of the plant and because the product is a pesticide, you are bound by law to follow the label directions. 2) You are forced to apply an insecticide for the duration of the season. Insecticides, if they're used at all, are best applied only as necessary, not as a season-long preventative measure.

garliclady - thanks for the information on the varieties that work for you. I ordered a one pound sampler from Charley's Farm. It arrived today, and the garlics are beautiful. I got: Asian Tempest, Gigantus (Rocambole), Chesnok Red, Polish Hardneck, Early Red Italian, Thermadrome and Silver White. All in all, I am very pleased with the good variety they sent, and I have taken one clove of each to taste. So far, I am much impressed!! :) The bulbs are all fresh and large. I have sent an inquiry to a grower for some Music if they have any left....I really would like some good large true garlic. I also have about a dozen huge cloves of elephant garlic that I grew myself, which I will plant next month, but I'd really like at least that much more of it. Trouble is, it's so darn expensive. What I grew was from an organic clove I bought at the grocery store. If you should happen to find out when the garlic festival in MD will be, and where, please do let me know. Thanks so much

I don't put plants out until March 20 at least..that is the last frost date for Gulfport MS...I have rushed them and regretted it. Patience is probably a virtue in gardening. One year I did have all these plastic containers and covered everything when I knew it would be cold but that was way too much trouble just to have the first tomatoes. I mulched heavy with hay that year too. I did have some great early tomatoes though. Bragging rights> LOL
