Hi - in early May i planted the seed in my new garden - but it is not turning out as well as i expected. After putting the seed down it rained quite heavy for a couple of weeks which washed away some soil (and seed as well) causing some parts to be quite uneven underfoot.
Now in october while some of grass has come up nicely, other parts are a bit bare and it now seems to be getting very yellow in patches - i was expecting it to green up at this time of year. some questions i have are:
Is the lawn too young to put a feed on it now? I have been told to wait until it has been down a year or so.
Will some of the barer patches eventually fill in like people keep telling me?
Would rolling the lawn at this stage even up the underfoot surface or would it damage the grass that's already there.
I'm very new to this gardening life so any advice appreciated.

Yes the lawn is to young to put a feed on. You could have raked in some growmore ect 3-4 days before seeding. The barer patches will green up but not with the grass you want, but invading grass. I
f you sow new seed you should gently rake the seed in to the soil with a garden rake to keep it warm. Do not roll your lawn, it will compact it, the best way is healing it in with your feet. This should be done before you sow the seed.
You could put some new peat /soil or compost in the patches heeled in, then reseed and rake over on the patches. You could take a chance and put on a very small bit of growmore
