What if it Snows?

When you get up close to those green hills, it's beyond wierd. Folks that live there dread heavy rain and the greening of the hills.

If you own property the county expects you to mow (aka weed wack) that green stuff before the dry season sets in. If you don't they send in a county crew to do the job and you are charged a hefty bill.

The really wierd thing is that the "crop" is something different. One year it will be safe. Another year some kind of tough, stringy beanpole plant, another year a noxious plantain. There are several kinds of plants, and I don't know why some are dormant for years before reappearing.

An industrial weed whacker on wheels is essential.

 

Brush hog.

Would a flail mower work?

 

No!!!... one rock or good size stick and the "flails" will break off and cause vibrations.

California has always had lots of green.
Just needed to know, ya know!

 

1976 there was a "drought"
