Kingdom of Knuffel

A friend of mine has a little garden like that. :}

Ooh, nice
It's what I'd do with a small yard
I hate mowing a lawn

My Mom once had the idea that if she made the flower beds larger and had more of them then Dad wouldn't have to do so much mowing. Now there are so many things to steer around when we mow.

My mom hated mowing the lawn so badly we now have 3 trees growing in the middle of what used to be our grass. :}

So instead of less things to mow and thus time saved, she made an obstacle course and costs more time

Blagh, I need wire now

Well in our case the uprooting done by the trees left us without any grass. So no more mowing at all. :}

That works

Better than flower gardens, obviously

We have a pretty wild growing garden. And I love it. :}

I've thought about doing that native species yard thing that a lot of areas are touting, but the way weeds and trees sprout up around here I don't think I want to mess with it.

Dad's thinking of turning the backyard into a mini forest
Be a small one, a grove, and he's already low key started it in one corner behind the garage
