It's a Lawn - or is it?

    Tossing indeed @Lyn - although the mallet might be more useful for that than the ball :D
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Do you mean my lawn B?  Have you ever walked on a water bed. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Yes. It must feel wonderfully squidgy in bare feet.  I'm a barefoot gardener wherever possible. Drives OH up the wall. This time of year there are wonderful squishy mossy bits. They will disappear later so I enjoy them while I can.
    PS I love walking in the rain too.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    We inherited my grandpa's croquet set, around 40 years ago.  We've never had a lawn flat enough to use it - pity really.  I remember playing croquet on grandpa's lawn, which was too small really, but cut - as they all were in those days - very short, and rolled flat.  Woe betide anyone who cultivated daisies in their lawns in those days.

    I think sometimes my "lawn" is a flowery mead, but mostly it's just a SSSN.   :)

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Well, I think this topic has been fully discussed. The following options are listed in alphabetical order:

    Bees Dinner Table 
    Boggy Marsh
    Coconut Matting
    Flowery Mead
    Green
    Gwass
    Fielding
    Kids play area
    Mosclover
    Mossy, glossy or fussy 
    Moss Lawn
    Moss-mat
    Outback
    Patch
    Site of Special Scientific Neglect 
    The Field 
    Weedsward
    Wilderness 

    I think the best of these are:
    1. Site of Special Scientific Neglect 
    2. Bees Dinner Table
    3. Outback

    But whatever you call yours, it's been interesting and amusing to read your ideas.
    THANK YOU
