Maggie's Farm

It must be nice not to have a lawn. Out in Wellfleet, you just have beach grasses and sand.

Of course, fancy places in Nantucket have irrigated, fertilized regular lawns. Totally fake and unnatural, but some people expect it.

I have around an acre of regular lawn. I'd prefer 50 acres of meadow, but it's what I have here. No choice but to keep it civilized.

We have posted many times about lawn care. I understand that a lawn is meant to imitate the sheep-mowed English estates.

Lawns are good for croquet and soccer. Plus they just look nice around a house in a temperate zone.

Today, just about getting your lawn power-seeded if it needs it. In September around here, it can work pretty well.
