I can't either. I did it today. The back does not get done as much as the front. When it gets away from me I use Honda rotary.ABC123 said:Can't believe you reel mow 20k sq ft
I was just thinking the same thing the other day... Haha. My lawn is only 7500 sq ft of turf and I couldn't take mowing with the 22" Toro anymore and had to buy a 36" hydro walk-behind. I can't even imagine mowing 20k sq ft with a reel... Not to mention, I'm sure Connor mows at least twice as often as I do, too. :shock:ABC123 said:Can't believe you reel mow 20k sq ft
Thank you for making that. I love how you have such a variety of plants, and the color combinations are wonderful. My wife pays her complements as well. I thought it was funny when you said, "And back here, I've gots some... bushes." :lol: I'm not a horticulturist, but you gave me the names of some plants I've never seen before. Those mums were beautiful.wardconnor said:Here you go Colonel K0rnColonel K0rn said:...... You might have done this already, but can you take some pictures of your hardscapes, and the planters and plants that you have? Those looked great in the video, and I'm in need of some ideas for my place.
Thanks ColonelColonel K0rn said:Those mums were beautiful.
Bushes =verigated dogwood/ivory halo dogwood
Bushes = potentilla fruticosa yellow
Bushes = dwarf burning bush
Bushes = Diablo nine bark
Bushes = lodense privet. (I wanted boxwoods, too cold for my zone 3-4)
The mums are awesome this time of year.
I have a desire to grow a 8 to 10 ft privet hedge to block the view of that white vinyl fence. I am toying with planting a bare root privet hedge there in the spring.
I do have the option of buying a ride on rotary mower and have owned several that I've bought to flip for profit. I stick with the walk behind because I have more control and I can get edges way easier. I currently only own 2-21 inch rotarys and 1 walk behind greens mower. The PGR this year has changed my life.alpine0000 said:I was just thinking the same thing the other day... Haha.

Every summer I lose weight just by working in the yard and walking miles every week. Then I gain it back in the drab winter.. Boooo I dislike snow. I like the exercise that the walking gives me.
I like the reel mower low cut grass look so it's so hard for me mentally to use the rotary. I do however use the rotary a lot in the backyard.
This week I probably mowed 5 days in the front/side about 11ish k. I like to mow. It's very rewarding and satisfying to me to cut it and see it cut after. I put my headphones on and listen to baseball play by play and I zone out.
Every time I let it go a bit people in my town poke fun. People have come to expect it to look that way and so I must satisfy their lawn appetite needs.
When I first set out originally when I planted my lawn I never intended it to look like that. I did however tell my wife that I wanted the best looking lawn in town (I live in a small town (resort town) , like 850 regulars). It was a gradual progression of addiction.
Once I bought the greens mower..... Everything changed.
^ I think I might've just fallen in love with you.
We're not worthy, Connor!
You win this thread, and every other thread you post pictures in. Leave some for the rest of us!

Amazing as always! :thumbup:
of course you would snap a pic while up there.
Do you ever wonder how your lawn would look at 3.5" or so?

Yes. So many times I tell myself that I'm going to cut the back yard long but never end up actually doing it. I think if I ever go long which probably WILL happen I will most likely maintain somewhere between the 2 and 3 inch range.social port said:of course you would snap a pic while up there.

I am a guy that goes through phases or cycles. I see myself someday not being so lawn crazy.
Fair enough. But in the meantime, keep those awesome pics coming. I love what you are doing with that lawn.wardconnor said:I see myself someday not being so lawn crazy.
So, you know the next thing you've gotta do is get some drone footage, right?
Ha ha. I was just thinking of doing a drone-themed entry in the 'you might be a bit lawn obsessed' thread.Colonel K0rn said:So, you know the next thing you've gotta do is get some drone footage, right?
Yeah.. Just need to find a friend with one.Colonel K0rn said:So, you know the next thing you've gotta do is get some drone footage, right?
Awesome lawn Connor! It was your youtube vids that brought to this forum. Thanks for the heads up on this place and I look forward to being one of the lawn appetites you feel obligated to feed! haha!
I'd be up on the roof drinking a beer (uh...i mean..fixing things) every day!
TREASON! =P I go through phases too, usually weather based. So these high temps are taking my desire away again lolwardconnor said:I see myself someday not being so lawn crazy.
Sorry to blast you with all the pictures. I would like to have this here for later when its winter and I have the winter blues. That way I can look back to this thread and reminisce.
My remaining lawn mowing days this year are numbered.
Mowed last night after the snow melted through the day. I took this picture at lunch today.
