At least it's not obscured by some 2 wheeled 'steed' with mis-aligned tyre valves and overlong brake hoses/gear cables.

Also what has Mrs bearnecessities done? (Don't forget the quicklime).

Nothing a knackered sofa or pile of tyres couldn't improve.

Maybe a heavily stained mattress?

I think it's a powerful statement on the fragility of man and the disposable nature our modern lives. Is it a standalone piece or part of a series?

stunning! All it's missing is some cat shit in the borders and a burnt patch on the lawn where the dogs piss. And an overflowing wheelie bin, but not on the lawn.

I've watched enough CSI to recognise a body buried at the back there with a few token flowers plonked on top. How is Mrs Bearnecessities, can we see a picture of her please holding a copy of the Sunday gardening supplement?

To finish it off I think you need a rusting Austin Maestro with 3 flat tyred wheels.

Ooh, they are in Maryland. I think they'll probably be able to do the OP's garden with some decorative paving. Might have enough space to park a motorbike on 😆

EDIT hang on.. I shouldn't report spam and then comment on the spam post should I?

After 2 days of scarifying, TBH mine doesn't look much better anyway, crossing fingers and toes it comes back, we've spent enough on fertiliser and seed!

Seed is tricky.

I've found that to fix patches, a good way is to scruff up the soil, put seed down then cover it lightly with grass clippings. Helps keep the seeds damp and the birds off.

Your side of the fence needs treating or possibly painting. Other than that it looks good, a proper wild garden designed to attract the rare trampeous hobolus species. If you're still not attracting them (even with your stirling efforts) try adding a large rusty oil barrel and an open bottle of Rustins.

With the addition of a knackered fridge and some worn tyres you could make that a feature lawn.

You'd think the ice cream pink was the most outstanding feature of that house wouldn't you?

No. The 4 foot porcelain Alsatian in the window steals the show.

Still, people know where I live with little explanation:

"Oh, by the pink house?"
*sigh*
"Yes. Next to the yellow one, Mine's the unconventional brick colour"
"Why have they painted it pink?"
"I don't ****** know!!"

That might just beat the 6ft gorilla statue that resides at the entrance to a gated property down the road. They even have a ******* knight in armour beside the front door too. WTF?

Thats just reminded me I saw a gorilla outside a house the other day. Think I might have been riding near Garforth, Leeds but I might be mistaken. Proper WTF moment!!

Make sure you leave enough room for your neighbour to drive his van across the corner of your new lawn.

I dare you to paint your house like the love child of the neighbours in mr blobby spots.

Also no points for not encroaching your garden into the street to reclaim a bigger foot print.. it's not too late to grow a nice hedge that overlaps the street by a good 2 foot though.
