It's also good that lawns have some defenders against herberts like me - I've been digging bits of one up this morning to make a flower bed for the lady I garden for - I'm never one to admire grass... My own lawn at home is ever-shrinking, only my kids stop me getting it all up!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609378570741596783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811617474824731934.post-11788461369028194842013-04-17T01:33:49.756-07:002013-04-17T01:33:49.756-07:00After dedicating so much time to my back garden I ...After dedicating so much time to my back garden I am this year starting on the front. Slowly I may add. The borders will be extended & trees, shrubs & rose bushes will be added. The lawn will be kept as I love seeing the birds scurrying across it.

My favourite front gardens are interesting flowery spaces, or even ingenious solutions to the car parking spaces with lots of planting.<br /><br />I used to have a front lawn in my previous house and it was deeply irritating having to wrestle the lawnmower through to it - it used to take about 5 minutes to mow as it was pretty small. I would have outed it if I'd stayed there longer but had two toddlers .<br /><br />I'd love to see photos of yours - maybe we should set up a Front Gardens Group on Google+ to share them?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609378570741596783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811617474824731934.post-60290053982177015702013-04-17T00:45:46.346-07:002013-04-17T00:45:46.346-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609378570741596783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811617474824731934.post-77087440344995604822013-04-16T19:55:01.566-07:002013-04-16T19:55:01.566-07:00Hear, hear!

Few people are going to lounge about or play sports in the front yard, as lawn it is just wasted space! This is the place to plant as many flowers and other ornamentals as you desire. That's what I've done, anyway.Jasonhttp://gardeninacity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
