RE: Frost seeding in IL
check with your local ag agent. It sounds like the conditions could be right. If there's not much snow and you are getting the honeycomb effect in the soil - go for it. If the ground is still frozen and it is just getting warm in daywith no effect on the soil - it's not the right time. Don't worry about future weather (ie - cold). All you are doing is trying to get the seed in good contact with the soil. It won't germinate until the soil warms enough and weather breaks.
