Is it too early to put grass seed on a couple of patches which are bare?

Thanks

Yes.

I'm no expert but I'd wait till April.

Your just showing off because you can see the grass under the frost and snow.... Smile

I'd leave it for a while too, although it would give the birds a bit of a feed.....

I have put a light netting over the seedlings on my veg beds in the past to stop a curious little dog (my Own) and an even more curious hedgehog who migrates to my back garden every winter and doesn't leave untill late March.

The same type of netting that stops birds nicking the rasberries!
