It's getting *close* to "too late" especially if you have done no
preparation. The choice of seed depends on:

- How much shade?
- How good do you want it to look
- How much wear will it get

I want a good looking lawn , not to bothered about hardwearing as
it wont be down trodden too much , what type of seed would you recommend
, As for shade , the lawn (Nrorth Facing) gets around 5 hours on most
parts( tho not all at once)
per day


TIA

Seed is usually sold as mixtures of several species with a description
of the use. I've just sown seed for a similar situation to yours. I
looked for "fine lawn" (as opposed to "family" or "with rye grass") and
"shady". I bought some at Wilkinsons.
