Spring is the best time to seed To establish clover in existing sod, sow the seed in spring or early fall. Early to mid-April before grass starts growing quickly is the best time because there is little moisture stress and little competition from grass and other broadleaf plants.
Fall is the ideal time to plant Stargazer lilies in the ground. This gives the bulbs time to put down roots before winter sets in. This is also an excellent time to divide and transplant any established lilies you have in your garden. New bulbs should be planted as soon as possible after buying them. Try to plant in early fall when the weather is still pleasant and before heavy rains make your soil too wet to work.
