Cut the grass yesterday OP. Add me to your list. Fine cut.
I cut mine on the 1st.
NMM STAY STRONG
Are we not allowed cut grass in May? News to me if that’s the case
I started in March.
Cut my grass today OP and it looks sensational
The only lawnmower I’ve seen this month was being used by the Council.
Some of the rented houses in my area are well ahead of everyone else with regards to dandelion cultivation. The bees don’t know themselves !
Everywhere around the farm and house is all nettles, dandelions and daisy’s they’ll have a feast hopefully.
Literally cut ours on 1st of May as it was up to the wall. Only heard about this after we cut it, probably won’t be cutting it again for weeks anyway #lazyshites
Last Monday BH some bastard was cutting at 8:00 in the AM. Grrrrrr.
I had to cut my grass this week it was getting so long my lawnmower wouldn’t of been able to cut it but I have just planted a fuck ton of flowers hopefully will make up for it
The drive obviously makes sense to promote awareness, but people (I understand I’m asking a lot of the general public here) shouldn’t take it so literally.
If ye had cut your grass prior to May, let it grow sure.
But I’d let mine meadow last year (basically meant cutting it 4 times over last summer). Jesus the abundance of dandelions, daisies and other wildflowers was brilliant once spring hit. I hadn’t cut it yet this year though.
I cut mine for the first time on Tuesday. It’s important apparently, meadows don’t just grow infinitely. It’s expected that some form of grazers will come in and cut it down to size every so often. By doing this, you’re both spreading the cut flowers seeds, allowing the strongest to thrive and also giving typically dominant grass something to be outstripped by the regrowing flowers.
I’ll cut it again mid June I reckon. And then another one in August, and then maybe a last one to wrap up the summer depending how it’s looking.
This was just pieced together by me online so I could be totally wrong if anyone has a retort. Another thing I’ve picked up on is that people need to get this idea of “weeds” out of their head for what are a lot of the time local wildflowers. Local bees are attracted to local wildflowers (like dandelions) they don’t know fuck all about yer fancy wildflowers being bought from abroad.
The chad wildflower meadow vs the virgin lawn monoculture
We really needed to cut our grass last month but didn’t get around to it and now it’s actually a jungle (my dog literally disappears into the back garden and cannot be seen) and I have no idea if we should strim it a bit so the house doesn’t look abandoned or are we just doubling down on being terrible adults if we do 😬
You will run out of ink down my road.
Did no-mow-may last year, left it til end of August after reading online that was best for the bees. When I did finally cut it there were literally 1000’s of garden spiders, running around and climbing my garden/house walls, moving through the grass. They didn’t fuck off once the grass was cut either, hung around until mid winter where I presume they finally died. The garden was completely unusable for months. I’ll do no mow may this year, but come June those bees need to find a new food source
Oh is not cutting in May a thing? I was just being extra lazy but I’ll happily pretend I was avoiding it for the bees. See ya in June Lawn mower 🫡.
I cut the grass last month.
Oh great another thing for people to fucking argue about. This is why we can’t have nice things
I stuck down some clover a couple of years ago and it’s starting to take hold properly now. I left the mad mish-mash of grasses that grew from the bird seed (and bird shite), so it’s got the full abandoned aesthetic now.
Might do the edges at the weekend and the bit the dog shites on so I can see where I’m walking. Otherwise it’s too wet to chop it anyway.
Honestly it’s lovely and lush looking, I can’t wait til things start flowering as well. It’ll be miserable and grey in a few short months, enjoy it while you can.
Me when I see anyone say they’re watching that coronation
Jesus lads if I leave it any longer the dog will get lost out the back. Tis like the serengeti as it is
I cut my grass last year in the beginning of November, and this year in February.
