Tom’s Guide reports that planting grass seed in November can still work in some regions, but success depends on local soil temperature, grass type, and the timing of the first hard frost. Experts cited in the article say cool-season seed needs suitable conditions to germinate, while warm-season grasses may be going dormant; if soil is too cold or the ground is waterlogged, waiting until spring may be wiser. The article also recommends clearing leaves and weeds, spreading seed evenly, and keeping the area lightly moist.
