Mowing The Lawn For The First Time Since Mid-May
Today I mowed the lawn for the first time for about seven weeks. May was exceptionally dry and much warmer than average. June was relatively dry, too. The lawn hadn't grown very much in the month and a half than it was last mowed. Notice the dead patch along the edge.
This is how it look before I got to work. It's not really even overgrown despite the fact that lawn has to be mowed about once a week normally.
About half of the backyard is done.
Done but has to be trimmed around the bushes and elsewhere the lawnmower does not reach.
Geraniums and summer snowflakes
Geraniums
I don't remember the name of this one.
Verbenas
Surfinia
Good job Markku!
I like your surfinias.
Awesome garden you got there ! Everyone that invested in a robot lawn mower definitely didn’t make a good investment this year lol
Usually I mown the lawn once or twice a week. Now I definitely haven't had to do it as often as you said
Lovely garden! Need more bug trees and some animals to transform it into a jungle!!
No, it doesn't. :)
Hi markku. Do you have a weed eater or a strimmer? They work well for areas the mower doesn't reach. The heavy rain the other day would have got the grass growing quickly.
I have an electric string trimmer or strimmer. Yes, the growth is caused by the recent rains.
It's amazing how stuff just grows. I have a garden service that comes in once a week with a group of 4 guys for 1 hour. It costs about 12 euros and they trim everything including the trees. The only thing I have to double check is the plants touching the electric fence. If they are too close and the wind blows it sets of the alarm
The country you live in is so different from the one I live in (or your native England). Electric fences and gardeners for 3 euros per hour.
To be honest I would rather do away with all of that and do it myself. Electric fences are a deterrent but won't stop someone serious. If they break the circuit by cutting the wires it triggers the alarm. The same as when a branch touches it, it short circuits. It is so different to the rest of the world.
Working at home is a task that is easy to do but requires a huge will. I'm not exaggerating. Until the wife (boss) reminds you of one and one does. It happens to me all the time. LOL
