Not even daisies stand a chance here. An advertisement reads: Lawn Robot gives you freedom and peace-of-mind, with smart home technology. Well, if our neighbours find peace-of-mind in such a sight ...
Once they came out with a robot vacuum, was a lawn mower far behind?
Neighbors around here get a bit testy if you don't keep the lawn mowed and they don't like when you have weeds in it. I'd love a yard full of native growth (but not poison ivy).
Your first sentence reminded me of a question I once heard: What on earth did people do when there was only one ringtone? As for your neighbours: They would certainly make a leap of knowledge if they no longer called wild herbs weeds.
Sixty, fifty and even forty years ago, every bit of land here was used for growing potatoes and vegetables. A lot to do besides gainful employment ... Now almost all the neighbours have only their lawns ... and are too lazy to mow it once a week or every ten days. I can understand that very well, but even though I sometimes lament mowing, I won't buy a robot. I'd rather pay someone to mow it if I can't do it myself.
I once managed to lock myself out of a hotel in Belgium. I ventured into the garden courtyard, to find myself alone with a robot lawn cutting device. The door I entered through automaticly closed (and locked) behind me. I had no way back...

Me too. And daisies are more likely to give me peace of mind.

Hope the lawn robot doesn't get lost somewhere. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, the joy alone of discovering that he has once again gotten stuck somewhere. ;-)

ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, the robotic mower may have shredded a hedgehog ...
DeleteDid you have your mobile at hand?
També prefereixo les margarides... però de molt!.
