My house and my garden is really just a big toy - but whereas the house DOES have some things that need to be done in a certain way, nothing can really go completely wrong in the garden. What's the worst that could happen? A wilderness? Well, that could be fun as well!
I'm in the process of mowing the lawn for the first time this year - the spring flowers and tulips in the grass are now spent, and the main flowers are dandelions. (They're also rather pretty, of course.) It's terribly late for a first mowing, but completely intentional. And lawns are boring anyway unless you're playing garden games like boules or croquet.
My most interesting find in the garden was the remains of a cat skeleton in the vegetable garden. Well, at least it was a moderately small animals with fangs, but the bones were so decayed that most had literally crumbled and were only seen as changes in colour in the soil - but the teeth were quite well-preserved. I wonder what state my last cat is in now; he lies under the lawn in the corner with the best view. (And no, I'm not going to dig the remains up to check!)
