The weeding of the patch took me the best part of the day.
Wheelbarrow full of dandelions - HOW many per square metre??!!! |
Winner of longest intact root, at over 18" |
Colin pointed out that Monty Don says if you're going to have a new section of grass which won't match the rest of the lawn, you should make a feature of it. I tried to claim that it was a submarine... but this didn't wash.
So I reminded Colin that Monty Don says the way to test if soil is ready for planting out is to drop your pants and sit on it!! I'll leave you to guess the response!!
We've agreed to have a shapeless piece of new lawn which won't match the rest... but so what? I say!!
.... Though I'm sure I can see a map of the British Isles in there somewhere...
