Hello Gardening Friends,

My neighbor is leaf blowing rather than raking. 🌱 So annoying.

I hate those things!

I cannot begin to put my disgust for leaf blowers into words. 😡

Last fall, I literally watched one of my neighbors take 5 min. to herd about a dozen leafs from one corner of his lawn to the other. Would have been quicker to just pick them up 1 by 1 ... or (heaven forbid!!) just leave them.

Damnit, I meant "leaves", not "leafs."

Why are Americans so obsessed about putting leaves into piles and bagging them to throw out rather than let them break down and renew the soil. Naturally, as nature intended

Peer pressure. When I lived on my acreage I cared not for my lawn. Living in town, my neighbor with his derelict house and yard (that the town manages for him), is absolutely not going to have a better lawn than me. It's pressure I place on myself.

Our allowable existence is directly tied to how much labor we do

Sad, but true.

So destructive too. Gross. I miss rakes. And why are lawn mowers so much louder now? Uugh.

but the blower doesn't scratch the earth to encourage germination.
yes annoying....

It's 3:18 AM. I can hear a leaf blower in the distance right now

I had to move. Literally. They invaded my every waking moment in the burbs.

I don't think I am cut out for town either. Last year I built a tall fence because it is too people-y. All I hear is motors and dogs, I constantly mutter stfu. 😂

even the sight of a trampoline makes me shudder now
