Bizarre Victorian fact of the day…

vicfangirlguide:

Before effective mechanical lawnmowers were invented in the 1830s lawns would have to be cut by hand. On country house estates teams of men would get up at 4 o’clock in the morning to cut the lawns with scythes - at this time the grass was still wet with dew and easier to cut.
