  Greatadvice - thanks. Our lawn also dried up over the summer and although it's come back to life we'll use your advice to maintain it.

  Bee,
  
  that sounds like slug eggs or similar, though I've only ever come across them when digging. Do they look like this?: http://www.google.com/images?q=slug+eggs&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1282&bih=903

  In response to bee, the clear balls looking like frogspawn are probably slug or snail eggs!

  I have been unwell lately and was unable to cut the grass, and although it grew long and looked untidy it was green, just went round picking the heads of the weeds so they didn't over run the lawn. so maybe we shouldn't cut in the really hot weather.

  Ideally I would like to re-seed my lawn as suggested and to add an Autumn feed. Is it possible to do both, and if so should there be a short delay between the two jobs.

  Would it be too late to re-seed and Autumn feed my lawn the first week in November as that is when I come home on leave after working abroad.
