OK! Grass seeding......

Do not fertilize new grass, growing from seed, until you have mowed it 3 times.
By then it will have hardened off enough.
Still--use an Organic type, slow release, fertilizer. I love all the "Tones" by Espoma.
Holly Tone---Plant Tone---Rose Tone---Bulb Tone---etc....
Maybe you can find it in some larger garden centers. HD has a limited supply, but please check.

We also have a product here called "Millorganite" which is VERY good for lawns.

on Lawns. DO NOT use it on any edibles--as it does have Iron and some metals in it.

Here is what the bag looks like:
