Is the grass greener?
Got this quote in the email this morning.
The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be.
Robert Fulghum, 1937

Otherwise it will grow too long and when you leave it lying around it will kill the grass underneath thus leaving you with a dead patch that will annoy you all winter..

greener and squelchy under foot, given the amount of rain in the last week in Sydney (last weds alone was about the average for the whole of Sept )

Also depends on the angle of the light - may look greener from your side, but pop over to the other side and your's will look better
