From Wilderness to well kept lawn

(The pictures has been taken with my cell phone, so the quality is lower, but will still give a good impression of garden)

The whole month of May has been a disaster for garden owners in Denmark. It has been raining like no tomorrow.

I work from 8-16 every day, and when you have all ready been out in the rain, getting wet, you don't feel encouraged to take another ten minutes on the bike to go out to the garden and mow the lawn.

This caused my lawn to change in to a wilderness, and when finally the weather was with me, I couldn't mow the lawn, because of the rules in the allotment garden society*. No motor noise after Saturday 2 o'clock. I found out shortly after becoming a garden owner, that mowing the lawn was the one thing that I didn't exactly enjoy, so I decided to buy a lawnmower fuelled on gasoline.

Most of the other owners laugh because of the size of my lawn (read small), however I find that life is too short to do things that I can do smarter.

So on the following day, where lawn moving was allowed I went and did the job, and what usually take about five minutes took an hour.

To illustrate how it looked before and after, check the following pictures. 

Mowing the lawn is vey hard, when you have to go backwards the whole way.

Finally you can see a result coming along.

By the way, it truely sucks to rake the cut of grass in to little piles
