I planted tall fescue about 2 weeks ago. Some is just starting to come up. Thought I would be good but temps will be 28 one night then 30 the night. Will the frost be something to worry about? What can I do to help it survive?

Water the lawn a day before the frost, allow the blades to dry but keep the soil moist. The water will create a barrier between the warm soil and cold air. You can also put peat moss on the lawn to keep the seedlings insulated.
