Is it too late to be seeding a small area of grass?

No but it will help you to get started if you look at the group's FAQ
on germinating grass seed before sowing it. It's called repairing
lawns because there's another FAQ on sowing lawns but the repair
method works just as well for a whole lawn!

Also the other FAQ is very helpful on both preparing and sowing a lawn
using a different method.

Thanks for the faq, but as it happens that is very close to
how I have been doing it.

I have been soaking the seed for 24hrs then mixing it with
a decent fine compost, leaving it again for another 24hrs.

It has then been sown on prepared soil but as yet I have
found no need for any kind of netting, the birds are well
fed elsewhere in the garden and leave the seed well alone.

The only trouble I am having is with worms, the little mound
they leave behind can ruin small areas of new grass if not
cleared.
