Duckin' Daisies

[willywetshirt]

We have been weeding and have close to 1/2 tonne of weeds in the trailer for dechetterizing.

However, a favorite piece of grass was rotavated, raked and seeded and yesterday was the big day for its first cut.

My son selected the Mountfield electric mower to save any squishing that the tractor may or maynot have done and cut said lawn.

Result? a picture of smooth green velvet.

Today? Loads of blerdy daisies smiling at the sun!

Damned sure these blighters communicate when they hear the mower, with a "quick lads, DUCK for the day!"

Anyone else experienced the same?

Awwwwwwww love little daisys

Sitting there at Primary School making little daisy chains and I also remember we made birds nests out of the cut grass (was a country school)

Fli hates daisys and dandys in the lawn with a passion, can be seen out there with his special trowel digging them up

Me, noooooo, still love little daisys

I, too,love daisies and dandelions,bugle and wild pansies in our grass.There's plenty of green and love that splash of colour.Nice to have the bees buzzing around them too.

It wasn't until we had been here several years that I realised that something was missing from my weedy scruffy lawn - daisies! Soon after my wish came true and a tiny patch appeared in one place close to the hedge.

It is not allowed to be mown on pain of death! (Well the Terminator is actually the one who spotted it and is the softee who won't mow it...... ;D)

I'm really envious of daisy lawns but have to content myself with all the blue and yellow flowers in mine instead. Like Ali I have fond memories of making daisy chains and they are just evocative of childhood.
