Not sure where you live. In our area it is when the forsythia blossoms start to drop. A good garden center should have the answer or your state extension service.

Apply it while the ground is still cool - if it warms up too much, the seeds will germinate! Lynda's posting above is spot on - before the Forsythia blossoms drop is an excellent guideline.

Read the instructions on the package of the herbicide you plan to use, such as Scott's Weed-be-gone and you might also use a thermometer to check your ground temp.

agree with the forsythia blossoms theory. Heard a master gardener say that just the other day
