is this a good time to lay turf?

 I want to extend our lawn.  Is this a good time of year to lay turf, or
should I wait til spring now?

TIA

 You can lay turf at any time John. But you will have to water it daily if we
dont get any decent rainfall or it will shrink and you will get gaps all
across your lawn.

Agreed.....IF the 'drought' breaks. If not then make sure the ground below
the turf is heavily watered a day of so before laying to get water into the
rooting zone (a couple of days to let the surface dry enough to work on)

First decent rain for months yesterday in SW london. We've had some in the
past few weeks but not much. I laid some paving last week, excavating
20/25cm, and the soil to that depth was dust dry!

We need a week of soild rain to make much difference!

Typically the only rain we've had in North London was on Monday afternoon.
My after school Environment Club had to spend most of the time indoors
:-(  But I was glad the garden got a little water but it still isn't really
enough.
