Sick of the garden now
Hi all,
I need some advice please. We bought our first home just over a year ago and the main project this summer was the garden.
I removed the path going up the middle and turfed over it (pic 1, bare patches on right side due to rubble sitting there beforehand)
We seeded loads and had quite a nice lush lawn.
Now this winter it makes me feel like all my efforts was for nothing no as it’s muddy and looks like it has hardly any grass (pic 2). We are in a very clay rich area and have no idea how to keep the lawn nice over the winter.
I just want a nice garden 😢
Any help and advise would be greatly appreciated

You need to mow the lawn first off(why would you put all the effort in and then let it grow that long is beyond me), letting it get that long and then mowing it is going to stress the grass. A general rule of thumb is to never cut more than a 1/3 of the total length of grass, that will help the soil dry out too. Also aerating and sand will help the wet spots.
