Today I used my new push reel mower for the first time. I had so much fun -- I mowed the whole lawn (which is a lot of mowing). Fun you say? Yes! I'm one of those people that have a hard time going to a gym just to work out. However, if its productive work - I love it! It felt great and my Fiskars manual mower is fabulous!!!I also managed to get the new 6'x6' addition to my little garden plot started (earth turned, grass out, soon it'll be 6'x12') before the rain started. Such a nice spring thunderstorm even though it didn't last long. I sat on the front porch watching the rain come down while the sun shined -- a special experience I relish. And I snuck in another chapter from "Out Stealing Horses" by Per Peterson --
a book I highly recommend.
Morgan, how timely that I am reading your post and looking for a push mower! It sounds like you recommend the kind you have. Where did you find it? I'm desperate for one!
ReplyDeleteI was on my porch too while the rain came down...planting spinach, lettuce and bok choy in my window boxes :-)
My very little garden plot is ready as well. I will planting the peas this week.
Happy gardening! And see you at a future Etsy Meet-up!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! Yes - I LOVE my new Fiskars push mower. Its a little more expensive than most, but I found it to work so smoothly and easily compared to the ones I've used in the past. It was recommended to me by a friend who had the same experience.
Happy gardening to you too!

p.s. thanks for all your great input at the etsy meeting!
