You graze cattle on your yard? Give the insects a break and do a No Mow May.

Is No Mow May actually a thing in the US?

Yes, it's been slowly taking off, but it's still very niche. People who participate seem to mostly be home gardeners.

I had a No Mow Spring in my backyard. The yard was cut down less than a week ago because I could not go out there for 10 minutes without my eyes starting to hurt. It was worse if I tried to kill the invasives. My area has had a terrible allergy season.

It is mostly non-native grass mixed in with invasives. There is ONE native plant I put in. Baby steps. I will add a few more natives during planting season.
