Not really lawn related but house related. We are having our house re-sided and some new windows installed. The finished the first side today.

Today the picture window and basement windows were installed and just about all of the front was completed.

Congrats. Just did the rest of the windows in my house and it’s a game changer. I couldn’t really even open the old ones—original to the house.

Think I've posted this before, but anyone know what this weed is? Its roots are very hardy but fairly easy to pull out20240522_072741.jpg

Looks like mugwort.  Roots will spread quickly underground.  Can cause pollen allergies like ragweed.

I picked up a Reel mower at a yard sale last fall.  It's an actual workout using it and kinda fun.  But wouldn't recommend for anything more than a half acre.

I cut our lawn for years when I was a kid with one of those, it wasn't like the new lightweight Worx mower, it was made of oak and weighed a ton. Finally, my father bought a newfangled gas mower when I was about 15 or so, wasn't self propelled and we had a decent size hill in the yard. They cut nicer than new mowers, it's like clipping every blade of grass with scissors.

Ha, yep, that's like the one I have.  Probably 15 pounds.  Thought I could get my 9 year old to use it.  Not happening this year, maybe next.

I do love the cut it gives.  Only complaint is I can't wait too long between mowing otherwise the clippings clump and I have to rake after.
