I never thought that after weeks of drought the lawn would green up so fast and grow so much. Being a sailing widow today as it is a Sunday, rather than go for a boring walk on my own I thought I would get the lawn mower out. Having ascertained it was still working after months in the garden shed I managed to mow the lawn. If DH had been here he would have advised me to lift the blades as the grass really was long. However I continued with the hard work because if you’re going to do a job you may as well do it properly. Off for a shower now!

No grass left on my front lawn after two years of baking in the sun sad

A few green patches of moss and dried spikes of weeds, the rest is uniform beige.

No significant rain yet. At least I have saved money not paying a fellow to mow the extensive lawn.

My gardener has been spending his time, instead of cutting the grass, fitting chicken wire to the top of all our fencing, so our cats can't get out, march into next door's house and yeowl at them, it doesn't go down too well! 😯

Yes grass is greening. Hydrangeas look a lot better and the cosmos is coming out.

Ours is only just beginning to show a bit of green - it’s going to take a lot more rain!

We were in N Yorks the other day - all that lush green grass! Haven’t seen anything like it here since before about June.
