I finally cut my grass.
Its' been nearly three weeks, and I don't know that I could actually call what I mowed (with my new electric mower) grass. It looked more like a field of clover and plantain with the occasional stalk of grass so tall it was reseeding itself.
I made it almost through the entire back yard (which I started with) before the battery died. It did surprisingly well in such tall and thick growth.
The grass catcher didn't clog too much, and the mower made it over the few sticks and branches I couldn't see to pull out of the way before they were run over. The clippings are now serving as mulch on my vegetable garden bed and I have a feeling there will be much more to come.
Of course, there were a few things I discovered while I was mowing. First and foremost is that it was really, really hot out at 6pm on Wednesday night. Second, I forgot that I had scattered sunflower seeds at the back of my property, just inside the tree line. At least I think they're sunflowers. That's what they looked like when I mowed over some of them. Luckily, I saved a few from the whirring blade and think that they will flower within another week or two. Third, I love being outside.
Looking forward to mowing the rest when I have the time, and getting the most out of the new mower. I already like the battery on it MUCH better. It charges in 2 hours instead of 15!
