[UPDATE] No Mow May and How I Learned I’m Allergic to Grass (lemmy.world)
 

A couple of weeks ago I detailed how I was letting my grass do whatever it wanted until I found the foxtails were taking over.

I took alergy pills for three days straight and was able to cut the grass and rake it without an allergy attack.

I'm slowly adding natives in between my indoor projects.

No Mow May and How I Learned I'm Allergic to Grass (lemmy.world)
 

I've basically been letting the grass in my back yard grow all spring. Cut some paths through so my small dogs could easily navigate and small patch for my senior dog.

Then I saw the foxtails I thought I had killed were back. I started cutting the grass so I could get better access to the foxtails and my allergies went crazy. Instant runny nose, eyes burning, etc.

This has really dampened my enthusiasm. (/rant
