Your ducks are not doing their job! What grass I have left is barely above the ground, here.

It would require at least 1,000 ducks to keep all the grass at bey here. I have about 2 hectares (5 acre) of grassland on my hill. I do need a one-axle tractor with a sickle-bar mower but am still saving for it.

The Mallards are becoming more and more accustomed to me. While i was mowing the grass yesterday, they too were foraging through the piles of grass:

I could really use another Sunday here!
I dug up another bed for the remaining strawberry plantsView attachment 3272325Today i will remove half of that loam - i might use some of it for pottery, always wanted to try this - and mix the rest with crude wood chips, then fill the bed up with a mix of fine wood chips and compost soil. Then next weekend i can plant the remaining strawberry plants.

Somehow the grass has grown extremely tall again here, i assume due to the heavy rains in August, followed by long periods of sunshine. If i don't mow it, it'll become a fire hazard in early winter. And i can use the opportunity to produce some additional hay for the ducks:

Speaking of ducks, the ducknagers were joining me while i was mowing the grass with a noisy hedge trimmer (still don't have a sickle bar mower) and i smelled them behind my back! Are there duck breeds that are smellier than others?

Here are the rascals, sifting through the cut grass, searching for insects and seeds:

There is so much grass left to mow, this will take the whole week…

So i could really use another Sunday!

Teenagers (the human kind) seem to have a certain pong to them, raging hormones ans all, maybe the same for ducknangers?

Or one goat.

We haven't had grass in so long inside my birds fenced area. I grow it outside along our driveway for my goose so she can have some foraging. Nothing left inside.

May the great burning orb in the sky shine down on you today, and not hide behind clouds like it is here.

Unless you need rain.

Greetings and salutations, everyone. Hope you have a good day!
