I agree. Problem is, we never know when its going to rain. Several times last month the weather channel was calling from 70%-100% chance of rain at my place, and we didn't get a drop. They would call for 20%-30% and it would rain, so i try and plant about the same time every year that i've been planting for the last 25 years, with rain in the forecast and it works for me. Knock on wood, i've never had an army worm problem. I hear people say wait for October, and yet October on average is our driest month. Bottom line, do whatever works best for you. BTW, i planted into some live knee high grass at the club Sunday. Yesterday i sprayed, we'll see how that goes.
