Weve just bought a house in northern France (Picardy) which has a
large garden which has been rather neglected for about a year. We're
complete beginners to gardening so we thought we'd start by tackling
the two (front and back) lawns but we're not sure where to begin.

I dont know what type of grass it is but I do know we have a lots of
weeds and moss.

All we've done so far is to cut it but I plan on doing soil tests.

What would be your suggestions of a plan of action and when?

Thanks for any help

Ian

Your lawn looks as nice as many that are considered to be in good
condition.

Riiight! is that lawn or moss?!
