You can't talk about Lawn games without talking about Jarts the game of accuracy and bravery or stupidity. You choose!

I still hear my Dads voice in my head, ‘can’t you see the yard needs mowing’? I never could. I can now.

Spring? Were 3 days away from the longest day of the year!

The history of labyrinth and mazes in lawns and landscaping might make a good video.

After countless hours of your videos, I finally have a question. How are you this charming?

I like how dandelions circled back around to lawns.

Folks still call the refrigerator/freezer an ice box. 😉

Your show are so interesting and you do a great delivery

The lower expenditure on lawns in Australia and the UK is easily explained. Australia has a dry season, when there's essentially no lawn growth. Most people in the UK live in terraced homes, with little or no lawn.

Wow I'm so high on the list happy to make the show

Back in the Saddle Again Naturally

I’m in Denver metro. I’m quitting Kentucky Bluegrass and Fescue. Water is too expensive here in my municipality. I planted Buffalo an Blue Grama and native prairie grass. Low water requirements and my muni pays me $400 to go low water. My neighbor up the street put artificial turf in. It’s fun to practice putting and play bocce on. 😂👍🏻😎

25 % of land in NJ and MA is lawn, the other 75% is concrete and/or asphalt.

..my dad bought a Wheel Horse mower in 1963...

Just what I needed this morning!

It's interesting that for a more than reasonable amount of subscribers, you're comment section is surprisingly sparse. As you may actually read my reply, I'll make one. I enjoy your format of 10-15 minutes and the wide variety of topics you cover. Interesting and educational. Thanks!

You should meet my son. He is on the high school speech team. His speech for competition was almost exactly like your presentation on lawns!

My parents (born and raised in Texas) moved to North Carolina after they married, for my dad's job. Being so used to Texas barbecue, especially the sauce, they were shocked (and despaired) by North Carolina's vinegar sauce. It's funny, they said the meat was cooked perfectly but they had to ruin it by drenching it in vinegar. One time they prepared Texas style barbecue for a get-together in their community, and everyone who tried it fell in love. They moved back to Texas when I was born, and I have to thankful for that, since I also don't like the vinegar sauce.

Hey History Guy! Big fan here. I especially enjoyed the lawns segment of this one. Could you perhaps do a history of ice cream trucks/ice cream vendors.

Nice compilation video. I really enjoyed it.

thanks

Very interesting !

I was actually looking for a video for Juneteenth from the History Guy. I was a bit disappointed seeing that it too it history that deserves to be remembered. I'm even more disappointed that I wasn't taught its significance in school. The first time I heard of Juneteenth was about 30 years ago while I was getting ready for work. The radio station I was listening to had a "today in history" segment and they were highlighting the event. So glad it's now recognized as a federal holiday.

Lawns also provide fire protection

Hey History Guy Please do a video about the Marsmen from Burma- the American soldiers who helped the Chinese fight the Japanese in WWII. The Japanese controlled the coast so soldiers traveled overland with howitzers broken down and carried by mules. They could assemble and fire the guns with five minutes notice. The Japanese did not expect the support from the US, and a Japanese commander who was defeated askes if they came from Mars- hence the name.

Good Monday morning (Juneteenth) from Ft Worth TX History Guy and everyone watching. Stay safe, cool, and enjoy your day. Happy belated Father's Day to all dads

I always got to be the "Jart Catcher" for both teams (I was truly loved as a child). The Chinese have it right---that dandelion root is something to behold!! Yeah, you just THINK you pulled up that dandelion.

Hi Lance, Are you related to Richard Geiger, who was a history professor at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa? If you are I have a great story for you. Thanks for your videos, I ALWAYS enjoy your work.

Barbacoa 😋

HVAC refrigerants, just think it started with ammonia. Remember Swiss Family Robinson. Pops built an ammonia chiller. 😉👍🏻😎

I enjoy all 4 seasons, but Autmn is by far the best.🍁

Cool

Your channel rivals the best youtube has to offer. IMO "Primitive Technology" and "JimmyDiresta" are the best YT channels. Sometimes I am not so interested in the topics you cover, but when I am, you have no equal. Thanks!

How about doing a segment on the fall of the Ottoman empire?

A BBQ cult is better than a religious cult

I earned my first money that I was allowed to spend by picking young dendalion plants, at an age when the bud in the mittle is not fully greened yet. We sold it to local restaurants.

Thoroughly enjoyed, aa usual!

At one time we actually had a push mower. It was a long time ago and impossible on a rough lawn.

I thought the title said the history of hot guy summer 😂

I can think of no better to BBQ than my Weber. It's the grill of my dreams

I love maintaining my property.

Interesting

I love dandelions and hate lawns! 😅

Y'all heard the fart at 1:02 right?

willy burnside invented summer in 1952

Dandelions don’t grow in Jamaica therefore they won’t be in most tropical countries

Dandelions are pretty! I've never understood why people find them so offensive, but these are the same people that get fixated on having a Superior Lawn which is the most ridiculous, Sisyphusian tasks on the planet!

THIS IS A N ICE SET OF STORYS .😊

It to,will pass..😃💨

One at a time... 1. Lawns. Hate them. Hate mowing them, hate that my neighbors are so prideful about theirs and how not a single weed grows there thanks to the many poisons they liberally spray. Mine is green, but almost totally weeds, and I like it that way. Most of the weeds are edible -- dandelion, chickweed, purslane ... but the rabbits and honeybees thrive on the clover and dandelion flowers, the monarch larva on the milk weed that I let grow amidst the shrubbery... 2. Barbecue. I still think it is pronounced Ta- EE- no. Other than that, Very nice presentation on Barbecue! I especially appreciate that you covered the regional differences of "barbecue" in the US. Heck, when I was in North Carolina (1990s) no two towns seemed to use the same sauce, each was 'unique' to that place. 3. Ice. Aw, THAT was a Fantastic presentation! I did not know most of that! (I'll be watching that segment a few more times!) 4. Weeds. HA!! And we come Full Circle!! I love dandelions! The young, tender leaves in early spring are nicely sharpish in a salad, (not unlike arugula), and I still make a mixed greens soup (as my Mom and Grandmom did), from February through about April. The dandelion wine I've made a few times over the years was passable. I value the plant. I especially enjoyed your summation of this "pernicious weed brought by the settler's", (as I've heard it called). Thanks for this! It's Dog Day summer evening here, and I enjoyed this video, came at just the right time!

I listen to your videos before i fall asleep. I make it to the end. If i ever dream of bowties, im done with this channel

Wood steering wheel? C'mon man. Wood wheels .

As a northern guy trapped in a global warming world summer is increasingly more a thing of endurance. Coming on the most hated time of the year where AC is basically life support. Three more months and the worst is over 🥵🔥

So we take valuable land cover with something that’s not as good for the local environment, use unhealthy chemicals, and water that would be spent better elsewhere. Then we injure ourselves, complain about having to cut it and that people don’t know how to care for their lawns. INSTEAD, we should teach people how to grow their own trees and food to cool down the neighborhood and use less water, bring back native species and feed the poor.

You forgot the push lawn mower, Mother was from S, Dakota and I grew up in sw colorado, near 70.

Now that I know a GI could get a $400 house in 1947, I will never be listening to an elderly person's nonsense about how "hard" they had it ever again...
