RE: The greens of Spring

in HiveGarden6 months ago (edited)

I originally thought your post was going to show flowers and other signs of springs. I was going to chime in and say it's spring because I have mowed the lawn twice so far, no lie!! It's been raining a lot and I kinda of got to pick and choice when to do it. I'm sure I will have another tackle of it for this weekend. I use a push gas lawn mower and there is always that sense of accomplishment once its all cut. I'm more than sure using those grass cutters you felt more than accomplished, haha. TBH I would have done the same thing as you if nothing else was available because that electric lawn mower I'm not familiar with at all, especially figuring out how to lower or raise it's setting 😊 Well done and a good show of hard work!

Haha! Thank you 😊
Yeah, I have not touched a lawnmower since I was a little girl and it was the simple push mower. This one is electric, yet it has something that looks like an area for diesel/gas or whatever it might be. I also haven't figured out hw to lower it, so with all the other tools in the shed, I think if I spend a few more days on the lawn and figure out what to do with the hedge, I can fool Gill and tell her that the council came and did a professional job when I was out 😂

I'm just amazed you did it all with the grass clippers. I once did my whole lawn with a weed whacker and I thought that was work. I'm debating when it turns into professional job or young kid looking for some side hustle for my yard, haha.

There were about 4 molehills on the lawn, and the work looked like a mountain I thought I could not climb, but I couldn't stop 😅
I'm keen on regaining toned arms, so I was highly motivated 😊

Oh moles my property boundaries a crop field, some years they are bad. I wish I knew an easy way to get rid of them.

I've only ever seen them on the towpath along the canals. I was surprised to see them in the garden. I'll have to look up what causes them.
At first, I was worried that they were ants nests (like the ones we have in Jamaica that bite very hot), so I was pleased that they were moles instead. I can imagine it to be annoying on one's property though.
