I mowed again today. Our new mower lets me adjust the height much higher than before – to 2.5 inches – and new weeds are thriving at the new height. Clover with white flowers and honey bees grows in thick patches, crowding out everything, even creeping charlie and dandelions.

Sometimes I leave the new weeds alone, just to see what they become. We have some pretty yellow and white flowers because of it, and a couple more unknown weeds are on the way.
