Arlene, 2 acres of lawn IS a lot, and we only have a walk behind mower! At least it is self-propelled. We're shopping for something to pull behind the ATV, like a brush hog or something. At least that would make lawn mowing fun! We have discovered lots of ticks here in the non-lawn area, so I think we'll actually keep the lawn now. With two large dogs, they need a safe place to roam where they probably won't get ticks. Ticks are disgusting!
As soon as I get back home, I'm hoping that the Calendula will be getting ready to bloom, but I'm sure that isn't going to happen. We didn't know last year that we would be moving, so I tossed all the seeds. Since we'll probably sell our house rather quickly, I think I'll just dig up a few of the plants and move them here. Hopefully they will survive. It would look amazing, having them in a border along the lawn!
