Edge of Town Backyard Ranching

[Mountain Cowgirl]

You can take a girl off the ranch but the ranch never leaves the girl. For years I have tried to set a good example for my neighbors, but not a single one has ever tried my windrow, shred, and bag method. I use my mower with the bag blocked to shred and then pull the block and suck up the finely shredded leaves. A powerful blower and a power drive lawn mower do the trick. When I use to garden, the shredded leaves made the best compost.

I was once confused about how the name Sycamore came to be, but after years of battling their leaves and getting more sick of it as the years passed, my understanding became crystal clear.

They got here in the Great Flood, no doubt. Same Sycamores in Israel, Portugal, Texas, etc.

That Sycamore comment made me laugh, MC.
