We came across several burrows of sweat bees coming out of the ground where the new #NoMow #wildflower meadow was excavated and is now seeded.

For the new wildflower meadow, that is priceless!

They have their work cut out for them this year! #Gardening #PaulsYard

2/ Penny went out and took this photo. We put up some edging. Remember, the dirt is going to be the #NoMow #WildFlower meadow and sprouts are already coming up!

She brought the boards over and helped with the labor and I hammered them in the ground, leveled, etc.

You can get an idea of what #PaulsYard is going to look like. That edging is going to go all the way around the wildflower meadow. Some images are in the #PaulsYard tag

Next time I "work in the yard" I'll have her take a snap or video of me doing whatever it is I am trying to do.

So, who is mad in love with #gardening and #landscaping and would love load up in their RV and take a vacation to come to #AppalachianOhio on the #Ohio River (70 miles east of #Cincinnati) and get in the mud with my small yard. Got 8 raised beds to setup for vegetables, a nice wildflower meadow to seed, some dwarf trees to plant, sacks of bulbs, etc. Making as no-mow as possible for the environment and so we can take care of it due to my disability and Penny's reduced strength and endurance after her widowmaker heart attack.. #NoMow

I love to bring joy so come on and get in the mud. 😂

Soon, the front of the house is getting a makeover, too. At least those AC are gone soon, replaced with energy efficient hvac

EDIT Added #PaulsYard tag for those wanting to follow the wildflower meadow and no mow progress.

Why? Seems like the crazy landscaper next door heard: Leave the leaves. But why? That pile around the copper beech is 3 ft tall. To their credit, at least they don't have a service that poisons the land and gas powered leaf blowers 3-4 times in the fall. #curious #LeaveTheLeaves #NoMow #wtf

Good Morning!

More fall colors, but with that nasty, unnatural setting of a mowed lawn with not a leaf in sight. #FallColors #sourwood #GoodMorning #nomow

#NoMow for a few months and I have a nice crop of flowers and stuff. It's only about 20cm high but it's coming along nicely.

I do mow it occasionally so it stays grass, but there's lots of clover and random ground cover plants there now.

The chickens are really enjoying spring. The lawn has gone to seed so I let them have at it a couple of times a week.

I'm going to mow the lawn one day. But not today.

@WTL @mlawton yep- it used to be lawn, it’s now day lilies, mint ( purple flowers) clover, and some other ground cover plants with purple flowers. #noMow

“The #pollinators love the clover- so glad we stopped mowing the lawn!”

… later…

”OW! An effing bumblebee just stung my toe as I walked across the yard!”
