MAINE–(ENEWSPF)–August 14, 2012. We go through a debate every few weeks at our house until my wife overrules my daughter and forces me to mow the lawn, including the areas we endeavor to keep âniceâ and the outlying areas where I like to call it ânaturalized.â To my daughter all the non-grass plants that pop up are more flowers for her bouquets. Eventually, for my wife (and me), the weeds become a bit too much of a symbol of our independence â given that we rent a house in suburbia and like to at least try to (somewhat) fit in.
