only thing i'd do is cut it back from the log roll a little to make it easier to mow, otherwise it's "strimmer time" and lots of breaking cord to keep unwinding.
Damn!, I need to get a mower now!
I was thinking that I would use some hand shears to cut the grass near the log rolls.
Positive thinking...I might sell before the lawn needs a mow.

Nobody so far have mentioned the plants. Most things are coming with me. So I will tell them that. Most of the plants in the garden come in for winter anyway.
As soon as you get a gardener who can see what you did to it that will be a sale! Good luck its not easy keeping the house in permanent show home conditions for viewing. Took 6 months to sell my last place

I take it you've not seen a place to move to yet as need to get offer on yours first?
Hardest thing for us was hoping the house we loved didn't get bought by someone else while we waited for an offer on ours. It went off the market but sale fell through so managed to get it in the end

The price is the same as all comparable houses in the area.(Although ours doesn't need updating inside so IMO better Value for money) The thing is most houses are not selling. It is really slow. Houses I liked 2/3 years ago are still for sale.
Hello
your garden looks amazing. I have the same log edging and simply cut my lawn edge with garden scissors. It does take a little bit of time, but well worth it. Your garden looks full of colour. Beautiful

Thanks Rachel, Yes I may have to use scissors. If you take a look on page one of this thread in one photo is a pic of the small "lawn" I once had. I used to cut this with just shears and scissors!

is it a hardy one?
it seems to be there in a few photos from different years.
Mr List,
The fuchsia is "Tom West" I only bought one plant of this for £1.25 4/5 years ago. For a few years I took cuttings in late summer to keep this plant going over winter. The mother plant also survived outside. Last summer I didn't take cuttings as I had more than enough plants. I grew some in large pots with other plants. I dragged a few of these large pots into the garage and left some outside. The ones left outside LAST winter didn't make it. The ones in the garage did.
finishes it off nicely
