Neighbour across the road has today. He's always got nice looking lawns .. Good grief not a chance yet. The grass around here is looking like it did at the end of summer '76, golden brown. The snow drops are just starting to bloom and more of the daffs are 1" above the ground, the most advanced might be 2". Been quite a thaw in the last 36 hrs our clearance heaps from the snow that fell on the 27th Feb (3") and 2nd March (2") have finally disappeared. The remnants of the larger drifts (5') from the Dec/Jan period are reduced by 50%. They are still skiing on Yad Moss a few miles down the road, 18" or so on the top but it's starting to get a bit patchy low down. -- Cheers Dave. |

No. Neighbour has, though, and it looks pretty good. Then again he is selling his house. Our front lawn has a trailer on it (small lawn, big trailer). Our rear lawn has scaffold boards across it, a garden swing and a sun lounger (!) and loads of bits of concrete and wood and stuff on it. One small area may benefit from cutting, but not just yet. The rear lawn is also profiled like a roller coaster and may well be a write off after all the abuse it has suffered over winter. I do have two petrol lawnmowers at the moment, which is definitely overkill. Cheers Dave R |

Dog has covered lawn in semi chewed bits of stick (the front garden belongs to him, the veg garden out back is mine. If I could work out a way to tie a lawnmower (or vacuum cleaner) to a tail the world would be a happier place |

What I have done however is fill a couple of big dips with soil. How soon can I sow the grass seed? Mike |
