not sure which of the 15 varieties of timothy I have growing in our fields but.

Question #1: will timothy
re-seed itself ?

Question 2: if it will re-seed itself, at what stage is it best to mow off ?

Most of timothy is in full head now but not dropping seeds yet.

I will need to mow in the next few weeks for weed control but I have a window as most weeds have not bloomed yet.

1. yes

2. Yes, but it should be cut as late as possoble.

We always cut it for hay at the stage where the seedhead was 3/4"-1" long, but that's for max quality. If you are going for max seed quantity, you want to wait as long as possible, till weed pressure forces you to cut the field, to keep the weeds from going to seed. HTH
