Thanks! I've been impressed myself by how much has survived and thrived despite the trauma, although I did lose a few as well.
*whispers* Taking the opportunity to create a bit of a wildflower meadow is, in fact, the main thrust of my lawn recovery plan. I was working toward it even before the wall came down - last year the lawn was more clover than grass, and I loved it (so did the bees). So having all that bare earth where grass used to be...well, let's just say I have my yellow rattle and wildflower seed mix at the ready...;)
But I do need to repair the flower bed first, and get what's left of the grass cut, which means first raking out the worst of the remaining stone...lots to do!
(I tried to talk my neighbour into re-wilding as well, when he asked for advice about his lawn. He wasn't convinced, but I did at least talk him out of going over to artificial grass!)
