So, there I am, several months back looking at the waist high grass on the plot and thinking that I ought to do something about it. Got on my bike and struggled up to my parent's house on the other side of the city to borrow their sickle. Got back to the lottie, sickle at the ready and what do you know - all the grass had magically changed from waist high to a mere few inches.
So, happily I dug and covered half the plot and left the other half as "next years project". Of course the other half got back to waist high again with all the rain we've had. Again this week I was thinking that I ought to hack it down a bit before it goes completly wild so got the sickle out and headed around there t'other evening. And what do you know, all the waist high grass was again a mere few inches high.
Thus I conclude that I have a magic sickle. It is also a generous magic sickle as it seems to have magically cut all of the surrounding plots too.
My plan now is to attempt to attach said magic sickle to my mower to see if it will have the same effect on the lawns at home...
