Nice pictures. Nice garden.
I guess you don't like grass. Wink

At Millet,

It could be that is the Southerly exposure. I'm not sure if those fruit are still there but I'll try to look at them Sunday afternoon.

At Sylvain,

I just don't have a desire for it. It devours nutrients and water that my edibles need. Sometimes I'll grow vegetables in the "brown spaces" between tree rows. I would have to cut it and then I'd want trimmed neat edges so no I don't like grass in my garden or really anywhere I guess. You can kick back the leaves and there are bunches of worms. That has to be better than grass!

Darkman. I almost completely agree with you. I love grass in its place but the garden is not the place for grass. Some people on this forum probably don't realize how much time and money you and I have to spend cutting grass for a major portion of the year. The Southeast can really grow grass in the summer.

My son is a teacher and he cuts grass as a second job. With adequate rainfall and our summer temps he usually has to cut grass every 7-10 days during the summer. It would really be better to cut weekly or every five days but not many people will do that or pay to have that done.

If they insist he will put them on a two week schedule but then it is really like cutting a hay crop. Some commercial people around here refuse to cut on a two week schedule. My son appreciates the business they turn down. Some of them even refer people to him. Tom
