We were not even allowed to walk on it. He spent hours feeding, mowing & stabbing it with a pitch fork. (If only he had known about the spiky shoes you can get over here!)<br /><br />Our lawn is a mass of weeds, clover, grass, mushrooms, dandelions but we do not care! It takes 1 1/5 hours to cut it on a ride on lawn mower and it is impossible to make it look nice. <br />My dad would freak!<br /><br />They say "An Englishmans home is his castle!"Daffodillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604680101891968889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-2649174962258634882009-06-29T15:45:33.118-04:002009-06-29T15:45:33.118-04:00Well I have a city yard, full of flowers, no lawn ...Well I have a city yard, full of flowers, no lawn - and hundreds of toadstools now. They are awful - slimey and probably poisonous. The best thing to do is dry them out and use them in compost.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-40236689836932053042009-06-28T07:49:15.811-04:002009-06-28T07:49:15.811-04:00Michelle - it would take too long to dethatch our ...Michelle - it would take too long to dethatch our lawn! I remember helping my dad do it when I was a kid - but that lawn was a fraction of the size my current one is! <br /><br />Carolyn - yes, the lawn seems to be the main feature here, along with the 'foundation plantings'. That's not to say I haven't seen some beautiful gardens in the US, but in general they are less interesting (to me at any rate) than gardens in the UK.Almost Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865905831387595915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-68749304142341059962009-06-28T06:16:11.977-04:002009-06-28T06:16:11.977-04:00Great post.

Aaahhh, the American lawn (agree the mushrooms = shudder, shudder and poison best solution). <br /><br />To me it's such a contrast to the English garden. In the U.S. it's often about lawns - I have great memories of running and playing in 'yards' but no memories of 'gardens' really. I love the way the English love their gardens.<br /><br />Cheers and enjoy your lawn!Carolynhttp://www.mysydneyparislife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-17304837515756207702009-06-28T02:32:04.079-04:002009-06-28T02:32:04.079-04:00My English husband has all kinds of implements for...My English husband has all kinds of implements for keeping our English lawn lovely. I volunteered to do the de-thatching the other day without really knowing what he was on about. Sheesh! What a job! <br /><br />On the other hand, I remember as a teenager in Minnesota pushing an old mower around my parents' lawn of up and down bumps and hillocks, a few roots, a stretch of nice grass over there and lots of pine needles over here... <br /><br />Your lawn sounds lovely, and Im with you on the mushroom thing--it'd be fun to eat them but Id never be confident enough that I identified them correctly! Good luck with the veggie patch!Michellouihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841678308675092702noreply@blogger.com
