Here's to gardens of flowers and vegetables. Loved the cartoon and following essay. Indeed, lawns indicate folks who lack resistance to law and ORDER!.
This year, we had a band of Mexicans rip up the old landscapers pride and joy garden and replace the soil with a layer of fabric (which the landscaper should have done) and fresh soil. It was quite a job for these strapping young men. The grass roots throughout our property is at least eight inches deep and as thick as thatch. We could build a soddie with it. Once the chore was done, Jeff planted wildflower seeds from Great Basin Seed in Utah. It supposedly covers 8K sq. ft. Think that'll do it. Jeff, bought four bags of the stuff to replace what the birds and squirrels eat. The bunnies are back too and I hope they'll tackle the grass again. We'll let this from now on. Ya gotta go with nature sometimes. Good luck on your gardens, Ed. Here's to burning the lawn mower.
I'm with you on every point. I'm gradually crowding out our grassy swaths with trees, shrubs, and flowers. We got an electric push mower that's pretty great! Gonna use it today.
Your lawn free garden is beautiful. You put in a lot of work. Make sure you take the time to sit back and relax in it.

Fruit and veggies every time!
I'm with you too. I'll choose to reap a nice crop of vegetables to make a bountiful meal to share with friends?
Totally agree with you!!!!
What about Quinn the snow blower? Atilla the rototiller?
