My mower does not have quite enough battery life to mow the entire front yard, but I sure gave it a good try. That is what I did after supper, mow. It was still 82 degrees at that time. Now it is down to 77. The cats are in....

Mowing the grass but leaving leftovers everywhere on a path, branches too

Valentina @valherma00 (3828) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 20 May

Yes, every time the city's people do that, i am glad i'm wearing my sneakers but when it gets warmer, i have to be careful, not to jeopardize myself with their grass leftovers and some branches too. I know this is a physical job...

For free?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 18 May

You may remember some of my neighbors took down a big cedar tree that had splintered out due to heavy winds. They had left the bigger pieces until a later date. That date had not yet come for them to split it and remove the...

Well, What a Royal Pain in the You-Know-What

Jim Bauer @porwest (112811) • United States 7 May

Just when the season starts, that's the last time you want to run into a problem. But things break when you need them, while you're using them. That's just how it works. But what a royal pain in the you-know-what. I went for my...

I can hardly wait (not)

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 13 Sep

I have a little more to mow, and then I can take a nice cool shower. It is a little on the warmish side today. Couple that with little bugs and grass clippings and it is a recipe for itchiness. I mowed a tiny bit before I went...

Hydrating for a moment

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 24 Aug

Today is lovely and cool. We went to church, and then did one load of laundry while in town, so I have my school/work clothes ready and clean. There was a place to donate aluminum cans to help Habitat for Humanity so we got a...

Mowing more

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 28 Jun

The grass still gets clumpy from all of the moisture. I mowed off and on today until my battery died. Plugged in the battery and went on the lookout at some wild flowers with Bob. He went and bought his favorite pizza last...

The challenge of mowing

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 27 Jun

It is quite hot outside, but the grass is still wet underneath, so it clumps up under the deck of the mower. Bob has it set up to mulch and I am sure that is part of the problem. It drags a bit as well, because the grass is...

Summer is here

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 10 Jun 25

It is hot. I have mowed twice for a little bit and will do more after supper, when it cools down a little. Good news. . . Jane is home from the hospital. She was having those symptoms because of a medicine she has been taking to...

Outside time

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 30 May 25

I mowed the front yard, pulled some weeds, and then I went downtown to Zogies. He is a very small shop and did not have what I wanted, but I will look at a larger grower on Sunday. I did get some red, white, and blue vinca to...

Oh, Why Not??

STOUTjodee @STOUTjodee (3670) • United States 30 Apr 25

So, I spent all afternoon watering our trees (6 all in total) and then I read we were only suppose to get a 20% chance of rain after 1 a.m. I thought , well, that's not much and it will be after 1 a.m. Well, the rain came early...

What's this on my lawn

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 26 Oct 24

With rains ceasing and the sun up, I've had some weird stuff grow on my grass lawn. This looks like grass, but is not looking good on the lawn as it grows taller. Is this going to choke the grass on the lawn and take over?

More lawnmowing this weekend and trying to make the lawn look neat.

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 15 Sep 24

I decided to tackle the front lawn today and it was quite cumbersome. I hadn't charged the battery for both the lawn mower and the edger and ran out halfway - so took a break. It looks way better after mowing and edging the lawn -...

My overgrown backyard

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 13 Sep 24

Last week, I finally got around to mowing the backyard. The grass was overgrown and there were plenty of weeds. It took quite an effort to mow it down and I may have damages the grass. There's still a lot of weeds to be removed....

Bob is outside mowing

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 24 Aug 24

It is down to 87 degrees, and almost dark. Bob is outside mowing some of our very tall grass. That is what I planned before I got this nasty cold. Bruno is in and is calling for my attention. Lunch was very late and was a...

The grass

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 10 Jul 24

With all the rain last week the grass is tall, and we have dew that causes it to stay wet clear up until noon, just about. After lunch we were able to go get Bob's little Capri. I mowed and did yard work from about 10 a.m. til...

Time to clean up and go to bed

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 21 Jun 24

We are really enjoying fresh fruit with our meals and for snacking right now. I often go to the discounted area in the produce section and get some awesome deals. I also keep bananas on hand. We had ripe plums with our leftover...

Like It Never Even Happened

Jim Bauer @porwest (112811) • United States 9 Nov 23

No. I am not referencing the popular commercial on TV advertising Servpro's cleaning and restoration services. I am talking about the leaves in the yard that become a recurring task every fall. I never rake them, opting to simply...

Just waiting

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169450) • United States 25 Sep 23

I am up. Bob is up. Trash to the curb. I cannot eat until after these tests. Worse yet, I cannot even drink any coffee. Probably because it raises your heartrate. At the end of last week we had nearly two inches of rain. Now...
