Stupid.<br /><br />What about hiring a teenager to mow it once a week? For that area, $10 should do it. Alternatively, put in the kind of garden mine is in my yard, which is low creeping plants, small bushes, ground covers and some random bulbs and a flowering bush. Once or twice a year, I chop it all back. <br /><br />Much much easier than grass.Aureliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691032415028867902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37205338.post-39476849293635921952010-06-14T15:26:59.464-04:002010-06-14T15:26:59.464-04:00http://boxfullofhobbies.blogspot.com/2010/06/pregn...http://boxfullofhobbies.blogspot.com/2010/06/pregnancy-journal-giveaway.htmlCourtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18021076476682298280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37205338.post-19131925268627143052010-06-14T14:28:58.618-04:002010-06-14T14:28:58.618-04:00REALLY??? People have *disagreed*?
I think it'...REALLY??? People have *disagreed*?<br />I think it's pretty charming, but frankly, who cares what I think? And with the (mostly sensible) pesticide by-laws, even the city now has abdicated its right to care.<br /><br />Michael Pollan, a famous gardener and food writer, wrote about how his father bought a house in suburbia which included the swath of green lawn which he promptly began to neglect and never mow. When the grass grew long enough for neighbours to complain, he got out the mower, fired it up, mowed his initials in the grass, and then parked the mower - forever.Tziviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828930310967808828noreply@blogger.com
