Are small lawns worth it?

Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself

The Gospel According To Zen

Maybe it’s the memories of yesteryear and anticipation of new memories that lay ahead running, laying and walking on the blades of glory that makes me keep a lawn in a tiny London garden.
