No Mow May

podrock — 4/9/2022 10:02:28 PM (archived)

Is something that people around here are starting to push. Let those dandelions bloom. Plant clover.

We are planning to get rid of the last strip of bluegrass on our property, between the sidewalk and the road. Officially, it belongs to the city but they are encouraging people to go native grass and flowers. More and more are doing so.

And I can finally get rid of my lawnmowers (one electric and a manual olde timey push type.)

Have you heard of the "Bee Safe Neighborhood" program?
