We've had a padling pool in the garden for a few months and it's time to pack it away but i know there will be a bare patch underneith.

Is it too late to sow grass seed, i could turf it but thats alot more expensive as it's a 10ft round area!

Thanks

This says anytime March - October - at least for their seed!

there is much to recommend waiting until September before you sow

There are many points in favour of a September sowing. The ground is warm after the summer, there tends to be more moisture about, the seed will get off to a good start before the winter and weeds will be minimal. Then, during the late autumn, a good root system will develop, as opposed to top growth, and your lawn will be in first class order the next spring and summer, ready to withstand hot, dry spells.

Thanks D,D, looks like it's the ideal time according to this.

Looks like you've got it spot on!

Spring or autumn. There are good and bad points to each, often dicated at least partly by geography and climate.
