    Are you in IL? I just saw my neighbor doing that, but he has dementia. I think there are to many people who want a manicured lawn. Personally I don’t see why so many people like that.

      if I ever live somewhere with a garden, I’m ripping out the grass and planting a dandelawn.

          I’ve got quite a lot of moss in my backyard. The only downside is less traction. My backyard isn’t super hilly, but it’s no where near flat.

        I tried making my front lawn all wild flowers. The town had other ideas and sent me a warning to mow my lawn even though at that point my lawn was solid flowers. It is now a mix of dried out grass, sandy bare spots, and cigarette butts from the sidewalk traffic going to the Casino across the street. I tried watering my lawn the first year here and my water bill was nuts.

      Because they have absolutely nothing better going on in their life.

      For a while I had retired neighbors on two sides of the house who insisted on mowing multiple times a week. Their grass would be so freaking dead and brown by late summer even with watering, meanwhile my lawn which I mow every 2-3 weeks depending on the season (late summer it grows slower so I give it longer) never needed a lick of extra water and is still green today
