GF had neighbor mow our front lawn, half of which I had seeded with

tall. Do you think they'll come back? Prettymuch ruined my day when I
saw this.


While a lawn mower's not exactly analogous to an antelope, most of our
wildflowers did evolve in the presence of grazers...

OTOH, it's not quite too late to plant wildflowers, assuming the
recent pattern of mild winters holds. Had good success planting
bluebonnets this time a couple of years ago. Wouldn't wait any longer
though..
