The impromptu flower bed

I limped into the garden to spend the day in sunshine and took some photos, so I thought I would share with you.
Now we all know that a lawn should be a thick green sward of fine grasses, cut to between 2 and 4 cm. It should be free from mosses, weeds, leaves and bare patches, and have the texture of velvet.
The lawn as a whole should be flat, without bumps. It is particularly important to ensure that the lawn is kept free from garden implements to allow the eye an uninterrupted and restful gaze.
Hee hee!
Being completely unable to push a lawnmower is somewhat liberating.

~apparently because there are not too many flowers about yet Dandelions are good news and being life savers for our bees~ so don't knock them~ might be worth waiting a bit before pulling them up!

Oh how this made me laugh. My guineapigs would love living with you

Guinea pigs!!!! The answer!! Can I borrow them please Mageth - do you run them around the lawn like a traditional mower only a little slower?
