OH heard a lot of grunting outside our kitchen window in the middle of the night. On looking to see, turns out it was two hedgehogs "very much in love" 😄💕
Another rainy morning. We're doing the #noMowMay again this year but with the weather the grass is going to be waist high before June this time around.
The very best thing about #NoMowMay is the abundance of nettles in our garden ensuring a good crop for a tasty "foraged" nettle soup or spanakopita! (Nettle soup in this instance!)
We are in “No Mow May” and the lawn is looking pretty shaggy. This article describes what is going on. Our HOA will no doubt descend on us, but a city ordinance now overrules the HOA rule about mowing. We are allowed to let the lawn go wild in May to provide #habitat for all kinds of critters to get a good start after winter. At other places we’ve lived, we always nurtured back-to-nature lawns. #NoMowMay
This tiny grape hyacinth just popped up in the middle of my yard? Probably a volunteer from the neighbors flowerbed. It's amazing what #NoMowMay will give you!

(c'est la hashtag qui dit qu'on arrête de tondre sa pelouse en mai)
(Toot inutile, superficiel et pas très fin motivé par un sentiment partagé entre la frayeur que me provoque ma pilosité hivernale et l'immense flemme de sortir l'épilateur et d'y passer des plombes)
''L’opération #NoMowMay lancée par l’ONG anglaise Plantlife encourage les propriétaires de jardins à ne pas tondre leur pelouse durant ce cinquième mois de l’année.''
#NoMowMay update. The muscari now seem slightly past their prime. Bee nettles (Lamium album) now seem to be the favorite for the #bumblebees #Bloomscrolling
I have for the first time heard about the No Mow Day movement.
It is not a comment practice in the USA and I have never heard of this until a user talked about it.
It is a movement that we fully understand, and even in the area that I live in it will be a hard thing to implement, we think that it is ok not to mow the lawn for May.
Although here we are trying to put on year-round strategies by creating specific gardens and spaces for the pollinators.
Spraying compost into those areas and your lawn will make the topsoil more resilient and help the biodiversity and biology to develop.
@compost We have defined islands of no mow areas in our garden and it gives a nice visual effect. These areas are no mow all year long. I have the feeling that we have more crickets and other beautiful friends like this one since then and, it gives a much higher resilience against dry periods.
