Coup de gras.

Post by Tom N »

Well, I,m going to risk one last cut of the lawn today as it's looking a bit unkempt.

What do you think ? is anybody else cutting theirs this late ?

Ours needs another cut as well. I also tend to use the lawn-mower to pick up the fallen leaves on the lawn, so it'll get another going over with it set high, just to pick up the leaves once they've all fallen.

Yep, I do the same, then into a black bag and stick 'em in a corner to rot down, and Bob Flowerdew's your uncle.

That reminds me, there's loads of fallen leaves, on the roadway outside our house, mmmm, I wonder if the mower lead's long enough ???

Ours needs another cut too (what's left of it thanks to the chickens!) but as usual it's chucking it down here so will just have to wait.

On this forum you dont often see the words coup (coop) and gras in the same sentence, mainly because lots of us keep chickens in coops therefore there is no grass {rofwl}

I mowed ours yesterday. It was a bit too wet really so not great but looks a little better than it did. I decided better to do it now as the likelihood of ever having a dry day again is almost nil )gr:

The lawn got it’s final cut yesterday, thankfully before the rain set in, and not a single chicken was involved, that is of course if you ignore the sandwich I had for lunch afterwards. )run(

After the rain overnight, it is now doing a very good impression of a paddy field, so much so that I’m thinking of investing in ducks rather than chickens.

Oh good, a fellow procrastinator. I never put off until tomorrow, anything I can do the day after. :-D
