Grass? NO Wild growths of Shrubbies, Pokies, and Stickies? YES. I have waited, sometimes with patience sometimes with angst, until the various pupae have been given enough 50-degree weather to make the journey to maturity. If I mow too soon, the pupae might not make the journey leaving them exposed to temperatures too cold for their maturing growth process. This would result in less for the birds to eat, and I do not want hungry birds moping about. I shall enter the shed-with-the-incredibly-loud-shrieking-doors, pull out the mowing tools, and try to remember which ones take straight fuel (imported without the crap the US adds to 2-cycle and 4-cycle fuel) and which ones take moto mix with oil pre-mixed at 50 gas to 1 oil. Then I shall try to avoid wrenching my shoulders and wrists while making the first pull-start. Then I shall loudly and proudly march forward into my jungle to cut, mow, shred, and clip all shrubbies, pokies, and stickies that have reached a height of one inch or more. THIS ACT will truly welcome spring to my courtyard, and after about 3 days of work, will have sweepingly changed the appearance of my leafy domain.
