I hate mowing the lawn so I scattered a bunch of seeds that strangle the grass. They unexpectedly flowered and now I get lots of butterflies and my neighbours don't.

@fesshole I mowed a frog once, entirely by accident.

I am now banned from mowing the lawn.

@TimWardCam @fesshole I mowed a snake once, by accident. I still feel bad about it more than 40 years later.

@SistaWendy @TimWardCam @fesshole a huge bullfrog about 30 years ago, still say it was a suicide by landscaper but I still think about it.

I ran over an adder once as it crossed the A43. Couldn't avoid it. I felt it through the wheels, poor thing.

I weed-whacked a snake by accident. Turns out they're pretty good at hiding in tall grassy weeds.

Now I'm the designated sole-lawncare-person.

β€œI did the right thing because I was being lazy” sounds like a brag, not a fess πŸ‘

@fesshole I want to know what seeds you threw. The grass in my front lawn looks like shit anyway and I'd love and easy fix

@dendari @fesshole At a guess, Yellow-Rattle

@dendari @fesshole
Almost certainly yellow rattle. It needs well mowed, raked and scarified grass. It also needs a frost (or a spell in the freezer) and protection from hungry birds.

@dendari @fesshole probably Yellow Rattle?

@fesshole this is not a fess this is rewilding and there is no shame in it at all πŸ˜€ πŸ’š 🌻

@fesshole Yay for restoring biodiversity!

Also, why are so many of the other replies talking about creatures they've run over?

@fesshole lawns suck. I love my overly wild back yard
