Paul: One item I forgot this am, is be sure to match your mower to the workload. This one has caused me a bit of grief. Marg. and I grow a vegetable garden about 100' by 100'. Mixed with the vegetables we have rows of annual flowers. The predominate flower has been sweet peas. Marg. has harvested her own seed for years, selecting the colors she likes.

With the Woods mower I found myself mowing ground I never mowed with old mower. Mowed right up to edge of garden, even mowed down crops like beans, peas, lettuce, etc. as they were done. We had two rows of sweet peas; one staked with netting for peas to climb on. I wasn't about to build another fence and wanted to prove a point that sweet peas will grow and climb on themselves, so I planted a row in a band about 15" wide. She complained all summer about this planting proceedure, how it was such a mess. So one day in mid Sept., mowed the grass, mowed down cucumbers, yellow beans, and since this band planting of sweet peas was such a mess, I mowed them down as well. Turns out these sweet peas had flowers and seeds she wanted to harvest. In 39 years of married life, I don't think she has ever been as annoyed with me on any issue as she was on the mowing down of those sweet peas. By now it has become a bit of family humor, how a 62 year old male should have enough work for his mower. Get that one right, make sure you are done mowing when the mowing is done.
