If the grass won't grow, extend the flower bed!

That's the way I see it too Gillian. Watch it.... You'll end up with just grass pathways in your garden :)

No, I think that's it! Grass this side was really bare, rest I can live with.
Was excited to read a story in the Toronto Star that weeds in lawns are making a comeback as being acceptable. My lawn fits nicely with this way of thinking, and I'm quite happy for short wild flowers to be there. The only thing I pull is thistles basically!

Nice to read that Gillian! I adore the little wild strawberries & violets & even the assorted clovers that grow in the lawn. They are like Natures little greetings.
It won't get me into 'Better Homes& Gardens' but I love it, lol!

This will look great when filled out with flowers to soften the edges.
