I just mow it enough to keep it below the 5 inch limit this trailer park has. If your grass gets too high, they'll mow it and then charge you. Besides, it can't look to great with the holes my dogs like to dig.

We do not have a jungle yard. We've had moccasins in the garage twice. Another reason I don't mind mowing where we are. haha

Now you guys see where I get the idea of snakes on a porch from. Wink

I grew up in Costa Rica with this type of "lawns." (The ones in Lu's pictures.)

Instead of having to spend any time mowing, you will HAVE TO spend time cutting back the growth. The Jungle will close down the driveway in no time if you are not out there every week machete in hand.

Which brings me back to the whole "working on the lawns" issue.

For some of us, repetitive, mindless activities outside are immensely relaxing. a looking good lawn is just a side effect. The problem is when the lawn takes over, and becomes your idol. (I can feel a Jesus juke coming up right about now...)

If you're too concerned about your lawn, how can you end up with moments like these?

We used to hunt rabbits and squirrels with beagles! They never shut up though. Big Grin

Tell me about it! We have two living next door and when they start baying and barking, it sets off my two dogs! (And the greyhound across the street, and the yappy dogs who live next to him, and probably the two new dogs that live two doors down from us!)

Don't know much about Beagles. Want a 5-month-old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd puppy for a day? She likes to chew on underwear of any sort, is on some sort of puppy crack that I haven't discovered yet, and can find blood-stuffed toys anywhere in your house or yard.

On second thought, I'd miss her too much.
