overgrown garden

i'm the worlds worst gardener, I leave the grass till it's knee high and then eventually get round to cutting it and then complain that it's not green! This is a composite before/after shot (using delicious gimp layer masks). Now the reason for the flurry of garden activity? Spotted a house round the corner that's for sale and went to see it last night. Still need to get surveys and things worked out, but if all turns out well, I'll be selling this old place, so I have to make it look nice for a prospective buyer... Currently writing a gtd list to make sure I don't miss anything
