No Mow May - Or June Here!!!!





"No Mow May is a national campaign to encourage people not to mow their lawns until the end of May in order to boost the flowers, and nectar, available to pollinating insects such as bees, butterflies and moths. It also allows spring flowers to set seed and plants to establish themselves in advance of the summer."
Well now the fields and the "boncan" is really overgrown, but my god it is beautiful. It's alive with flowers and insects and to give nature the best chance we've decided to leave it till next month, after all we can use it as it is and we enjoy it even more like this, even if it does make me sneeze!!! To be honest though, we've had to use the grass cutting cash now to buy logs, never had to do that in Summer before.
