The landscaping lobby will be opposed for obvious reasons. In suburbia, letting grass grow somehow offends the neighbors. The mindset is that your neighbors shouldn’t have to see developed land looking natural. It’s strange what America has become.
In many places it is a stiff fine for the code violation of neglecting your lawn. Are these enviro-wackos going to get your revenue hungry city to back off? No? Then FO!
Unless you have a lawn filled with clover, mow it.
Or get some bees and keep them- grow your own honey!!
If I didn’t mow for the entire month of May, some of the rats and racoons from the surrounding woods would get into the house. LOL
Listen carefully and you can hear husbands all over the land wailing “What do you mean I can’t mow? Does that mean I now HAVE to go play golf?”
Deduct 50% off of my property taxes and I’ll do it! That’s YOUR incentive to get me to do it....
Its now 70 here in SE TN and Im about to do some more mowing ...
Push mower for the exercise ...
real gas ... Happy Earth Day !!!
OH NOOOOOOEZ !!!!
Hippies don’t mow lawns .
Hippies smell.
One year when I was growing up the courtyard behind my grandmother’s apartment was grew wild - it was normally always well-manicured by the management.
It was magical - butterflies and wildflowers everywhere.
Spring is an excellent time to put down herbicides on lawns. unless you want your lawn taken over by dandelions and have to put in a new lawn in a year or two from scratch.
Bees can go elsewhere, there are plenty of other sources.
If there is a way to get into your house, those vermin will find a way anyway. If you live in a warmer climate than Wisconsin, they should at least give you until Mid-May.
Let the grass grow real high and watch the number of tick, flea and mosquito bites skyrocket.
Ah, no. Maybe once every two weeks until June.
I’m desperately hoping for No Mo’ Liberals.
Is there a real die off of honey bees happening in may when they come out of hibernation due to lack of pollen?
Please show me the evidence to support this allegation.
No Cut May is OK with me.
I like the Natural Look surrounding a modest house.
Big house and grounds require more care.
Not a ghetto mess, but a bit more free-growing with native stuff. And yes, the close cut surround of a native species planting bed is the way to go.
Low/no additional water usage layouts are even better.
The over-clipped and cut-edge modern trend is definitely not for me.
A more natural look for Collars and Cuffs too.
And I mow my grass weekly or bi-weekly just to keep it looking nice and to keep the critters from the woods from creeping too close, especially snakes.
There are over 1000 native species of bees in California alone.
