I’ve basically been letting the grass in my back yard grow all spring. Cut some paths through so my small dogs could easily navigate and small patch for my senior dog.
Then I saw the foxtails I thought I had killed were back. I started cutting the grass so I could get better access to the foxtails and my allergies went crazy. Instant runny nose, eyes burning, etc.
This has really dampened my enthusiasm. (/rant
Yeah it’s definitely a process. I’ve been trying to expand all the places I have natives and plant more. Also I keep expanding our garden. But I’ve 1.5acres that was “lawn” when I started, so still lots of mowing for now.
