I’ve needed to mow my lawn for a while now. The early warm weather has been great for the weeds. But I’ve hardly ever been free at night, and when I was, it was raining. Yesterday I finally mowed. I would say “mowed the grass”, but I don’t appear to have much grass in my lawn. Mostly it’s white clover and other invasive weeds. For as much as I like gardening, I’m just not that interested in grass. In fact, for me, grass has been a horrible, horrible weed that spoils all my beautiful flower beds. If I could snap my fingers and kill all the grass on my property, I would. Then my front lawn could be all thyme or phlox or cornfield.
Amen! Down with grass!!
I came home the other day and saw that our ‘lawn’ had been mowed. I worried that our neighbors (who started mowing their yard the second it showed a speck of green) had done it so they wouldn’t have to look at it anymore, but it turns out it was Harold being nice and thanking us for letting him borrow our mower. (He could have taken it and I wouldn’t have noticed until June.)
Have you considered cementing the lawn area & dying it green? Like a tennis court kind of.
A family who taught at CTC-RF (before it was CUC) and owned a home in the area let their front lawn go prairie…I bet their neighbors were “pleased”. In other words, whatever native species were supposed to grow there had their home not been built were allowed to flourish. Consequently, the lawn was tall grasses and flowers and never mowed. Just a thought.
