Is there a Bermuda seed that I can overseed my current Bermuda lawn which I think is common Bermuda. When should I plant? I have done a lot of weeding the past year to rehab my lawn and planted rye for the winter. I read the post about celebration and may go that route next summer. Thanks, : )

Hi,
I planted Pennington Seed recently. I hope I got the brand name correct. They offer a variety of 'grasses' and I picked a form of Bermuda for my area. I ended up totally replacing the backyard with Celebration Sod. (FYI...Celebration does not come in seed). The front yard was not a total washout. So we replaced the bad areas with St.Augustine. This past week, our temps have reached the 80's and the seed is sprouting beautifully. My front yard will be a 'combo' of St.Augustine and Bermuda in a few places. The St.Augustine will eventually take over, but in the mean time, I have a green yard. Yeah!
I am not an expert on planting seed. I am sure members will give you some good tips. One item is very important though. If you have recently done a weed treatment, you need to wait before planting seed. We had done a post emergent. I emailed the company and they said to wait 8 weeks before seeding.
I am loving the Celebration Sod. We tested the sod in a more shaded, damp area of our yard last November. We missed the growing season and had a wet, cold (snow) winter. The sod is now almost totally green and growing more every day. We had our first mowing yesterday. This sod is not expensive and I definately recommend using an authorized grower.
