The 2025 Lawn Thread

[Patrick]

The grass out front just went from a pleasant tan to green.
Time to tune and sharpen.
Pre-emergent and fertilizer dropped last week.

should have made that a haiku

?
Grass shifts tan to green,
engine tuned, edges sharpened,
fed and primed to grow.

Looking at getting some weed and feed out this week. Thinking about de thatching this spring.

It's there, covered in blooming crocuses and other flowers, poisons and fertilizer never.

I am on the side of dumb waste of time. Only spend on fuel and cutting time which IMO makes me feel after every cut that I want that time of my life back. Surrounded by aholes who spend their lives laboring their dumb lawns. Noise factor is probably the most disturbing and the putrid smells of chemicals. So yes lawns are stupid 😁

I have a female dog she pees everywhere. It is hard to keep a nice lawn. 🙁

Pretty much the same. I just cut it and however it looks it’s done.

I noticed the same thing yesterday after the rain. The excitement of spring.

As much as it can be a nightmare to maintain, nothing makes the house look better than stripes, green grass, flowers and mulch.

And fireworks.

And fireworks.

I dont typically light fireworks when I come home, but maybe I should talk to my wife about how she should show her excitement that I'm home.

 

[John the Plumber]

And fireworks.

Add to this the dog doesn't like a nice lawn or fireworks.🤣🤣🤣

F-in leaf blowers. Trying to relax on the deck for a few and as soon as I sit down there’s a symphony of them from the next block over.

Leaves ain't going to clean themselves.... I'll be using mine tomorrow. Somethings should not be battery powered. (Bikes, leaf blowers, mowers, etc)

I guess now is the wrong time to mention that I’ve been looking at battery powered lawnmowers
