I let the ragwort grow wild in my garden this year (which, despite the name, looks and smells lovely). And, as a result, I’ve now got a crop of fat cinnabar moth caterpillars happily munching away at it.

Want to help reverse the catastrophic collapse of global insect populations that threatens the food chain and all life on earth?

Stop. Mowing. The. Fucking. Grass.

I have started posting some longer pieces on Substack - starting this call to arms concerning a small meadow in suburbia. Fields full of flowers and butterflies should not be mown flat just because there is a box to be ticked somewhere.

Så här kan en helt vanlig gräsmatta se ut om man skippar klipparen ett tag. En massa vackra blommor som är bra för bin, humlor och fjärilar.

Two new holes dug in the lawn. These plants were transplanted from a seldom visited side yard. Making the lawn dissappear one hole at a time

See previous post for more pics

Starting my project. Attached is an album showing a before pic and stage one.

I wanted to Jumpstart the flowers, so I had a helper dig some holes. A few new plants and some transplants from the back garden and some wildflower seeds.

It seems less daunting to remove a whole lawn when you realize you can do it one whole at a time!

Fireweed, aka Rosebay Willowherb, is now blooming in our no-mow garden (the mead) ... very bosky around here this summer.

Here's some more grass. I think this was the favourite of the types I collected. I really like the shapes of the ears (massive assumption as to what they are called there).

It's been an exhausting week, and we're only halfway through. I'm attempting to get up the energy to take some more pics tonight, will see if I just pass out first.

Enjoy the sunshine (but stay safe).

Summer grass.

One of the various stalks of grass I collected from our meadow-lawn over the weekend. Planning to make a series of bookmarks from these.

Of course, since then I've seen grasses I do not have in other people's gardens and am questioning the ethics of going out at night with a pair of scissors and a collecting box.

The mounds are done and the corn is planted.

We have taken the side yard and made it essentially a zone.

The clover we planted last year is full and rich and hopefully will continue to take over what is left of the "lawn". It will serve as the border to the garden. Going to over seed the clover again.

When the corn gets around 5 to 6 inches high, the beans goes in!

The rows, marked by yellow, will be raised, boxed beds for veggies.

My current WIP. Taking up the cardboard garden, which was in place since Nov to kill the grass, and sifting the roots and rocks out of the sod layer. Two planters coming soon...stay tuned.

Dead nettles. A favourite flower of mine.
