#Grasswatch25 Week 2

Natural grass - growing again!
Artificial grass - hosting a ladybird!

Trail camera highlights - Hedgehog, birds, a happy dog, a surprise gull!

Once again I ask - to mow or not to mow?

#Grasswatch25 Week 1

There has been little to no grass growth (1).

But, the trail camera has been busy:
- Hedgehog activity (2) (including a 💩 on the artificial grass!)
- Moorhen (3), Pigeons, Jackdaws
- Local Cats (4)

It's a great reminder that even small spots can support surprising wildlife.

Welcome to The Great Grass-Off - I’m running an experiment to compare natural and artificial grass.

Each week, I’ll share:
- A #GrassWatch25 photo - help me decide when to mow!
- Trail cam shots (spoiler: it’s not just grass)

Who doesn't love a bit of turf talk?
Let the grass games begin. 🌿
