Mowing With A Troy-Bilt Mower: A Review

May 14, 2010 By Carol Michel 8 Comments

Your average American garage contents… probably two cars, a shovel, a rake, a hoe, and a lawn mower, mixed in with some bikes and sports equipment. My garage? No bikes, and for sports equipment I think I could find a Frisbee® if I could climb over the two electric chipper shredders and move the snow blower over a bit past the lawn cart and the wheelbarrow. I have to be careful, though, not to crash into my stash of clay pots. Let’s not talk about shovels, rakes, and hoes for the moment, they … [Read more...] about Mowing With A Troy-Bilt Mower: A Review

Evidence of Garden Fairies Found In Lawn

August 8, 2009 By Carol Michel 6 Comments

Please choose the most correct answer:What causes these dark rings to form in lawn grass?a) This is where the garden fairies gather late at night to dance and sing and make merry while drinking tiny bellflowers full of odd potions and elixirs. The odd potions and elixirs slosh out of the flowers and over-fertilize the lawn in those placesb) This is where the spaceships carrying hoards of hungry rabbits land in the lawn. The rabbits are released out into the garden where they can hop around and … [Read more...] about Evidence of Garden Fairies Found In Lawn

History Of Mowing at May Dreams Gardens

March 27, 2009 By Carol Michel 25 Comments

I remember the day several years ago when someone at work ask me if I had ever mowed the lawn after Thanksgiving. I said no. They claimed I had. And I said “Let me check my records”.At that moment, as everyone turned and looked at me, I realized that it was quite possible, in fact very probable, that I’m in the minority in keeping track of when the first mowing and the last mowing of the season take place each year. The past several years I’ve actually kept track of every mowing. And I keep … [Read more...] about History Of Mowing at May Dreams Gardens

On Waiting and Garden Blogging

November 23, 2008 By Carol Michel 36 Comments

This morning while I sit and wait for the frost to burn off, I thought I'd answer a few questions about...Garden blogging!I'm waiting for the frost to burn off so I can mow the lawn one last time this season. Winter seems to have come on quite suddenly here in the midwest and points north, and so I've not been able to finish my fall clean up in the garden. But today promises temperatures in the mid 40's. That's perfect, or as perfect as we can expect, for garden clean up this year.But back to … [Read more...] about On Waiting and Garden Blogging

Mowing Is Like Dreaming

September 25, 2008 By Carol Michel 16 Comments

Mowing the grass is a like lot dreaming.While mowing, a thousand and one thoughts occur to me. I solve problems. I come up with answers to questions that I hadn’t even thought to ask. I think through entire blog posts. I remember past events and wonder what the future holds.Then just like when you wake up after dreaming and the dreams are soon forgotten if you don’t write them down, once the mower stops, I soon forget what I was thinking about, if I don’t write it down. Unfortunately, most of … [Read more...] about Mowing Is Like Dreaming
