@brockpenner Embrace wild meadows. Who the fuck decided that all these beautiful wild grasses and flowers and bushes are "weeds"?

@meso grass is so fucking lame anyways #fucklawns #nolawns

it's that time of year again when our totally sensible society decides that the most proper use for millions and millions of acres of usable, arable land is to cover it with 1 species of invasive grass, redirect entire rivers to water that grass, and cut it every week so it can't even produce anything useful, like hay or grains or places for small critters to live.

The NUMBER ONE crop in all of the USA: Lawns.

Now if those who came before had only grandfathered in some frggin RAKES AND BROOMS.

But for real, the reduction in daily noise levels since the leafblower addict died has been striking. The dude truly was a menace.

It'll be interesting to see how him not out there touching off a Ryobi arms race every day effects things on this block over the summer months.

We're in an older section of a now sprawling city that used to be all farmsteads. "They" hate this area and would love nothing more than to raze all the old plats at once to slice it up into smaller properties, but since they can't, they grease the wheels for anyone who buys a house to teardown and build a lot filler mcmansion. Anything to drive out the rest of the old builds from the 1950s and the families who've lived in em for decades.

Thankfully no mandatory HOA here - we wouldn't have bought the place if there was. Some rando goes around playing pretend as one, publishing a voluntary booklet every year and doing a garage sale weekend, but I think they know better than to try making any suggestions.

@lordbowlich @somarasu OMG the black eyed susan looking stuff like that is my 😍😍😍ffaaavvooorriitte.

I hear ya on the thistle pods.. there are a few things out back and one real bastard weed at my work lot that put out some straight up weapons of pant destruction.

@lordbowlich @somarasu OOHHH hells yes, I'm getting there. It's been super fascinating. Where'd you go for seed, Johnnys?

We're on half an acre backed by 3 acres of city owned buffer, pond and creek.

I only mowed twice last season after it all hit ~16" and seeded, then it didnt grow much due to having already reproduced and it being kind of dry. cleaned up the edges at the road now and then with the weed whip to placate the city inspectors, but otherwise left it alone.

TONS of really neat stuff coming up in back... wild strawberries and dozens of other low scrub flowering plants, a few neat looking taller grasses. The deer love it, the bees love it.. my wife and I love it.

I really really want to get more wildflowers - tried a 1lb bag of seed broadcast around last year but nothing came of it, I suspect the birds and mice were thrilled though.

@Macross @somarasu Dare I tag #FuckLawns?

I let everything go to weed, in fact I helped it by tearing up what remained of the last owners blighted sod and spread native wildflower and prairie grass seed then let it grow and grow.

For the longest time I thought cows eat clovers. Turns out you should NOT feed cows most* clovers. You CAN feed it to turkeys tho, which we have a lot of here, and other wildlife. Shout out to the only lawn in this suburb I was walking through that wasn't manicured, and instead covered in clovers. #FuckLawns

Clovers (Genus Trifolium) are known for their nitrogen fixing properties. Some people eat red clovers (T. pratense) flower and leaves in salad, or turn it into flour or tea. White clover (T. repens) is sometimes used as an herbal alternative to tobacco. They're also in the Fabaceae or pea and beans family 🫘 @plants

Pigment experiments continue! This is only about 1/4 of the blossoms I could have taken from my yard thanks to my continuing war on grass.

I may eat the violets instead. Haven't decided. I'm just going to dehydrate them and buy myself time to figure out what I want to do.
