Well, she had two plots of them, and only used one (said the other ones had gone wild, and didn't taste as good - the customer's always right!), so she told me to just mow them over, but not to touch ONE CHIVE in the other patch..........

The customers always right even when I break something. The lady I mow for now told me to get up close to the bank in her yard. This is the bank she rolled my 1974 MTD 990 down and a little Craftsman tractor years ago. So I broke out the Stihl and saved my expensive tractor from death.

Don't ding the flowers...
I have some just starting to bloom, that my mom planted Decades ago... she has been gone now for a long time... Every time I see them it reminds me of her... She always said if I could keep from mowing them down, I would come to appreciate them. As usual she was SO RIGHT... :smile:KennyV

I try not to kill the flowers but sometimes one or two gets in the way and its nothing I can do then. Every one in the area compliments on the flowers and the yard so I guess I might keep them.

Spent half the day on Sunday raking only to wake up this morning to an inch of snow on the ground
and snowing hard. Don't think I'll be mowing yet.

I purposely took the snow shovels from the front of the house to the back of the house and not to
the shed where they belong for this very reason.

I did some mowing this past weekend. I first had to change the oil and lube the wheels on my Briggs-powered Jacobsen -- but then it started on the first pull.

It seems that there are several varieties of grass (in addition to many types of weeds) at my place in Cleburne Co. Some grass is still dormant (brown) while other grass is a vibrant shade of green and growing like crazy.

Last fall we had a new member say, quote: "A gas powered stone thrower would save a lot of work"....well maybe that is what you need to ease your job there....:laughing:

Honest, someone DID say that here.
