  1. Looks good. I mowed until I got a blister today (from the knob I put on the steering wheel). Both patched tyres still full. Nice.

    It was raining a lot lately so I couldn't mow and the grass grew into a dense jungle.

    Plenty food for the compost, although I had to leave some as the mower chute kept clogging in the denser parts.

  6. Friday 4 acres mowed this morning, along with my cousin's house as well. Barely home when my bride jumps in the van and was off to finish up with her mother's room at the new nursing home. Mercy we keep busy here! #mowing #family

  7. Pumped up the slow leaking tyres (two now - price to pay for all this scrapmetal I find), fired up the mownster and zoomed through the garden to redistribute some grass.

    Had a sunny day after a lot of rain so the stuff grows like crazy.

    Two piles around some replanted bushes, a couple raked over some bare spots and the rest for the compost mountain, which has been fed with mostly woodchips and grass cuttings last year and produced plenty of compost from that.

  8. so just #moved last week -
    calling around now to get gate #fence fixed so can get in my backyard
    needs #mowing but turns out there's a #bunny nesting back there
    Can I get away with just mowing the front for another month? 🤔

  13. Drove passed my cousin's house this morning as I was in the neighborhood.

    Darn lawn needs mowing bad!

    Went back home, ate lunch, then pulled the trailer and mower back and mowed his lawn.

    An hour driving for a 6 minute mowing job!

    Couldn't put it off because HOA!

    "#NativePlant corridors attract #pollinators and #wildlife to your farm by stretching across your property to connect your piece of #NativeHabitat to nearby #meadows, #wetlands or #woodlands. This creates a much larger area for #NativePollinators to #forage, raise young and migrate. Corridors may run along a road, between fields, in a #swale or on the edge of a #forest, connecting habitats off the property and returning native plants to the parts of the farm not suitable for traditional crops.

    This article describes two approaches to creating native habitat corridors: changing #mowing habits to favor native species, and planting woody and herbaceous combinations to increase native plant diversity on the farm.

    Populations of all native species are in decline across the state. Our human footprint is taking its toll on wild creatures, including pollinators such as #bees and #butterflies that are so important on the farm for crop pollination. Native plant species each share an evolutionary history with indigenous insects, birds, reptiles, mammals, bacteria and fungi. When native plants are gone, many of these creatures go too, leading to a collapse of ecosystem function. Farmers benefit from the services provided by a healthy ecosystem, such as groundwater recharge; clean surface streams and ponds; pollination; a diversity of birds, spiders and amphibians to eat many insects including crop pests; and beneficial soil fungi and bacteria. Fortunately, when native plants are reintroduced into a landscape, many of these other creatures return.

    As farmers and landowners, we can bring native plants, and the attendant diversity, back into the Maine landscape in a way that works with a farmer’s busy schedule. Many native plants thrive in dry, wet and shady areas that are poor sites for traditional farm crops."

  19. It's late November, and Kathy Stedman captured a rare sight in Montana: grass mowing instead of snow plowing! It's beautiful, but changes are coming soon. I'll have your weather forecast through Thanksgiving!

  20. Monday #mowing done, now to see what kind of trouble I can get in here on the farm. I do seem to have a giant rat in the hay barn, based on my observation in the dark as I got feed out for the animals this morning. Guess my old barn cat is slacking off in her duties!
