    I'm not sure a sinuous raised bed on that scale is quite what I hope to achieve, fire.
    I prefer my weedy whatever to a sterile patch of grass. I don't want to 'improve' it - just to name it as in: "The ###### needs cutting and I did it last time. It's your turn."

    That might suit some,FD but mine tends to be parched rather than muddy in the summer. :)

    My vote is for B3's 'wawn'.. weedy lawn.. catchy, easy to say, and people will either assume you mean lawn, but have a speech impediment, or wrote a typo.. or will question you, leading to a definition.

    Yard - https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/yard 

    Allowing for FD's colloquial regionality, a yard in English is usually associated with the space outside back to back terraced houses unless, of course, you're grand enough to have stables with their yard or are a builder with a work and storage yard.

    B3 - why not just call it the middle?  At the rate you're nibbling it won't last long enough to get a special word......

    The problem, Obelixx, is that you are using the Oxford dictionary.
