I love letting my grass grow. It started when we first moved into our house almost two years ago, and I wanted to see what was in the ground, and would naturally come up from the soil in certain parts of the yard. Now, it’s more about nurturing a space where I can grow wild flowers for use in my floristry, and fostering a diverse ecosystem in my backyard, where grasses co-exist with pollinators, beetles, frogs, mice and many other critters, happy to make a home in the meadow.
However, not everyone makes the choice to let their grass grow long. I also know from experience that the combination of busy schedules and the weather can sometimes lead to a rapidly overgrown lawn. Whichever camp you are in, there will always comes a time when we have to mow it, to keep it from becoming wholly out of control.
