Back home and the jungle had grown dense while we were gone. Went about cutting it back until the mower discovered one of the old man's treasures: another cow mooring post, sticking its top hoop out enough to catch the mowing deck, which is now bent again in the same spot.

Levered it out and put it with the others. Need to fix the deck (again) before mowing further.

In better news, the pumpkins have decided to finally make flowers while we were away. So we'll have lots of that. Still not sure which type as we've sown both Hokkaido and Butternut Squash together.

Lawnmower

There is power in these spinning blades,
green ninja of the grass.

The grasshoppers and praying mantes flee and
fly before the whirring wind. The hilly homes
of Appalachian moundbuilding ants are cut down
to jagged holes which spew forth red and black
bodies in an angry burning sea.

They do not realize that the hurricane
which slings them and their children
through the air today is predicted again
for next week unless the grass somehow
ceases to grow or the fuel line
springs a leak.

I forgot how immensely satisfying it is to use a whipper snipper to clean up the garden.

Yes I am now covered in grass clippings but it's a small price to pay for the satisfaction!

The European spotted marsh #orchids that grow in the sailing club grounds I care for near #amsterdam are fantastic.

We often get a few, but this year there are several large patches.

Despite their relative rarity (northern Europe is not an orchid paradise; afik this is the only native species in the Netherlands) they are not on the protected list or marked as endangered.

None the less I protect them when #mowing, avoiding them and leaving the corners they prefer uncut till August, after they have seeded.

Peering out of the kitchen window, I yell "Hey, someone is mowing our meadow!"

After no further negotiating or any communication, a big New Holland tractor with front and rear disc mowers cut our meadow down in under two hours.

Good! Would've taken me 12 hours in my little tractor, if I had bought a mowing attachment.

We'll see if the original deal is back on due to the sudden fuel price drop or if there will be demands for payment later.

The weather is ideal for hay, I expect it will be turned tomorrow and then the big baler-wrapper will come laying tractor eggs with a very loud door slam noise each time.

At least its done and not going to waste. Quality stuff, not sopping wet like the eggs baled during pouring rain on the next field over.

Barn gardening section done. A double shelf and a rail on the other side for hanging tools. Then moving everything back in.

Then I grabbed that strimmer there, which runs well with the replaced fuel line and cleared a lot of weeds until some supersized nettles defeated it.

Nettles have these strong fibres inside them that you can weave into fabric. Or wrap around a strimmer head until it can no longer turn.

Then put the mower into jetski mowde and cleared the path down to the valley, which was also thickly overgrown. Surprisingly, I did not get stuck and made it back up. Always a worry on that very steep path.

Now to recuperate from the hayfever attack all this triggered 😬

Last weekend, like every year at this time, I mowed our meadow. Two hectares of grass. First mowing, then raking, then carrying it all off. It is a simply task. But I enjoy it (at least once a year)! Ten hours for two days outside in nature and doing something that has a noticeable impact. Small insects return. The diversity of plants steadily increases. A slight shift in plant succession each year. Clouds passing by. A sudden thunderstorm. The smell of the grass. Yes, mowing is always a mass slaughter amongst the insects living there. But it is also necessary. Without twice mowing a year, there would be no grass, with trees growing really fast. Carrying off the grass also reduces nutrient input in the soil. Nettles are growing at the hay stack. These are critical for butterflies. Without this work, many of the plants and animals would not be there. Most of the work is done by hand and small gear, which is the gentlest method (after using the scythe, which isn't possible due to time constraints). Anyway. A stable ecosystem is really important. Any part of the ecosystem that can be protected from loss of diversity is critical. This is my tiny contribution.
