my small yard is 80% clover. My son has a beaten pathway through the part he uses, and I just fucking weed wack the whole yard. Its small, and I do it in parts based on need. I leave it higher than everyone else, and I LOVE IT.

I did step on a bee the other day though, felt pretty bad about it, I wasnt looking where I was going. My neighbor likes to mow my yard so I rushed to block off my section so he couldnt cross into my yard as soon as I heard his stupid mower start.

The red line is the devide. Their brown dust, and my lush green.

The only difference is I leave mine higher and dont mow, they mow every two weeks as low as the blades can go.

bonus bun in the garden bed:

Edit, bruh :D

She was having breakfast in my yard! I love life sometimes. What a beautiful creature. Stood up from my porch and, she's just there. Amazing.

    Nice, similar story (my partner also just stepped on a bee in our clover yard). We've been less intentional, we just don't treat the yard at all and the clover has been taking over for the past 5 years. Pollinators are so happy and so is my garden.

    Thanks for the shares!
    I do recall the clover lawn looking a bit patchy like yours, with some grass and whatever else mixing amongst the clover. I suppose that was partly what annoyed the later caretaker, as there's something of a tradition in American suburbia (or suburban hell) to have flat, featureless, green lawns, something which might go back to traditional 'English turf,' I suppose.
