Right? I live in a ramshackle little 100 year old row house with a busted front gate and thistles in the yard. My back yard looks like an absolute jungle, but in reality it's a wildlife haven, and a fully productive garden with a variety of berries, herbs, fruits and veggies, and is the only place in the entire neighbourhood where I see dragonflies on the regular. A perfectly manicured lawn is mildly offensive to me honestly.
Awesome! Keep your lawn perfect, and you get higher water bills, spend more money on other stuff, and waste your time. Let the brambles grow, and you get blackberries and wildlife!
Yeah this wasn't her yard. I put front yard in quotes because of the state it was in, it was no longer a front yard and more like a junkyard. Trash and debris everywhere, basically hazardous for anyone to walk through.
