Just curious about how Villagers deal with lawn and garden maintenance.

While the sample is quite small, I'm surprised that so far no one does their own lawn maintenance.

I am quite surprised by the results of this poll. So far, out of 34 people, only 4 indicate that they cut their own grass. I still haven't decided which segment of the population that I will be when we finally get down there. Of course, if the economy (i.e., our 401K) doesn't pick up, I may not only be cutting my own grass but pushing my lawn mower down the street and knocking on neighbor's doors like I did when I was a kid.

It appears we'll be cutting our own lawn. In fact, Honey came home from Lowe's yesterday with an olde-tyme reel mower. So I'll let you know how THAT's going.......

If you've got St. Augustine grass good luck with that reel mower.
