What kind of grass is best to seed with? I have St Augustine grass but I don't ever see any seed for it in the stores.
Maybe Bahia or some of the new grasses that are out now?

I like to kid my FL friends that all they have is cultivated crabgrass.

It depends on what your expectations of a lawn are and your cultural practices (water, fertilization, pesticides, etc.). Organic, conventional (synthetic fertilizers and pesticides) or combination thereof?

I'm not real familiar with the warm season turfgrasses but some of the newer Bermudagrass varieties are damn nice with better cold tolerance (in parts of FL through the transitional zone they over-seed with turf-type ryegrass in the winter since the Bermuda goes dormant) than the old ones.
