Nah, leave it as is. The birds get hungry over the winter and the seeds will
fill their little bellies!!!

You already sowed the seeds. The problem is getting them to germinate over
the winter. That's something they won't do. At this point, the seed is just
food for the birds.

Although not the optimum time of the year to sow a lawn I did mine
yesterday. The size of the lawn is quite small 24 ft x 12 ft.

Advice from several people with varying degrees of gardening experience
has
mentioned that the seed should be ok if the average temperature is above
5 -
6 degree C. As the days are getting noticably colder I was wondering if it
would be a good idea to lay sheets of polythene (sp?) on the lawn to keep
some heat in to aid the sowing process.

Grateful for any advice.
