Tim, is that your lawn that looked so sad a while ago, it looks lovely now, amazing what a bit of rain can do.  You must be pleased. :)

Yes. Even after 1976 it recovered from khaki colour. And it is NOT a lawn - but rather a mix of moss & weeds!!

that looks lovely. the last time my lawn looked like that, USA had a black president.

to be honest if you can maintain a lawn like that then you should keep it...but otherwise you should just get rid of the lawn. a lawn doesn't make a garden.

Wahaj, Tim's garden is much, much, much more than 'just' the lawn! Have a look back at some of Tim's pix of the beds, the veggie plots and......that glorious, beautiful greenhouse that's the envy of us all! A beautiful, beautiful working plot of land Ower Tim has - trust me!

Lishka in her rose coloured glasses?

BUT - I'm now putting slab paths in to cut up the beds to make them more manageable. Question of survival!
