Lawn Be in Charge
One month ago, my husband couldn’t find the mint I had planted for him. He uses mint for tea and mixed drink. I had several mint plants throughout the garden, and was surprised he noticed the missing mint at a specific spot. He eventually found a bundle from the green can where gardeners made the disposal after mowing the lawn. Apparently, one of the gardeners thought it was weed and pulled it out.
This incident was leading to letting go of the gardeners. Since my husband is retired, he would like to mow the lawn by himself. He wanted to get a rechargeable battery operated lawn mower, a trimmer and a grass blower. The total amount of purchasing was closely equivalent to one year of pay to the gardeners. After one year, his continued use of the lawn mower would be a gain. The plan was financially sound and has a great Return On Investment (ROI). I had no qualm of the decision.
I take care of the flowers, fruit trees and other bushes! He is in charge of the lawn. Here we are, having a new lawn mower, and happy mowing every week!

Not only the right decision financially but also it will help him to get a peace of mind and joy. Gardening does help us attain those things… 🙂

Yes, now he can keep the grass 3 inches tall if he wants to, and yesterday he talks about keeping it 4 inches tall and see how it looks. He has complete control and is happy!

Mint tends to invasive, Miriam. Perhaps the gardener thought he was doing you a favor! 😉 xoM

Yes, plants are temperamental – too much sun, not enough sun, too much water, too little water… I just find the ones that survive in my garden and repeat getting them the following year!!
