  5. Two favourites: Anthoxanthum odoratum (Sweet vernal grass with heavenly smell of fresh hay) and Holcus lanatus (with its beautiful German name Wolliges Honiggras, "wooly honey-grass").

    If you can, why don't you take the time to take a super close look at grass flowers? They can be absolutely stunning! 🌾

    What's your favourite grass, I want to know! Everybody should have one! 😍

  6. Well it's two-thirds of the way through May, and I mowed in the front because the grass was getting very very tall. A small number of little yellow blossoms were short enough to survive the scythe, and it looks like most of the dandelions had already seeded. Since I got two ticks in the past two weeks, I'm thinking maybe I'll get fewer if the grass is short. The garden is in the front and so I spend more time in the front.

    I didn't mow in the back, because there are pretty purple flowers. It can be a meadow. The pollinators can go there. Hopefully I won't get ticks just walking across it to take the compost out.

  7. Selective, limited grass cutting began in the garden today.

    As a reminder of how much difference not mowing obsessively can make to wildlife, a Goldfinch came to visit and pecked away at Dandelion seeds - the kind of thing people traditionally hate to see growing on their lawns.

    Be kind to nature; use much less of your mower. It's just an illness, really.

  9. My husband's cutting the grass for the very first time this year. I doubt it will be cut again before July! We might not be doing No Mow May, but we're doing No Mow Most Other Months. Our garden is a haven for wildlife, especially birds, insects and butterflies, but we've also seen hedgehogs and frogs. #Garden #Gardening #NoMowMay #Wildlife

  10. Help needed from gardening peeps: we have a little patch of "wildflower" meadow (it's basically dandelions and grass).

    I'm going by the link below and the "No Mow May" guidance - however, can I get away with a Spring time mowing this weekend? Or should I just leave it as it is until the main Summer cut at the end of June?

    Help!

  11. Finally some rain!! 🌧️

    It has been a very dry start into the season, but the meadow has been holding up great amd looking beautiful. Did you know that letting your lawn grow taller and allowing "weeds" to grow makes it more drought-resistant? Just one of the many perks.

    Laissez votre tondeuse au garage : laissez les insectes, oiseaux et hérissons batifoler dans les herbes folles (adventices)
    C'est bon pour la biodiversité !

  21. This was a really boring neat and tidy lawn when we arrived here. Now it's a mess, and I and the wildlife love it.
