You really don't want to seed or over fertilize at this time of year. That should be done starting in September. Depending on what turf grass is growing in your yard, you need to mow at the correct height. If you have anything other than Zoysia, that means 2 1/2" to 3 1/2". This keeps the weeds seeds from germinating, but it also means you're cutting the grass once a week.

What he said, seeding works best in late summer/ early fall.
Spring seeding IMHO never works out very good, I live in the Kansas City area, don't know about your area.
A quick spring and summer grass is rye, but it will not come up next year.
