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

    Ugh allergies!! Sorry to hear that OP. I saw your other comments as well, try to take on a little section of yard at a time instead of going all crazy. If you can figure out what your vision is for your yard, you can start with a little section here and there until it’s all done.

    I know they mentioned making more design guides for more places in the US but if you live in the US, wild ones had a couple design guides available.

      Interestingly I took a pill this morning and was able to dig up some invasives without issue. Tomorrow I’m going to try lightly spraying with water to keep the pollen down and going at the tall grass.

      I’ve got some plans for other areas of the yard however my wife said no plants until I finish a few things indoors. :(

        Relatable. I’ll put off the inside things to do outside stuff then when I reach a hard thing I go back to the inside work and leave the outside half finished 🤣
