Is the animal component human?

Is any of it edible?

[irach] Self-referential? NO
[INJ] One of a kind? NO
[Tuj] Twenty four more to go. NO
[CDM] We, the people? Hmmm. *audience collectively leans forward in seats* A qualified YES to that. Most frequently but not always. And never entirely.
[Raak] Culinarily significant? I suppose it is not beyond the realm of possibility. But it would definitely be frowned upon. (See animal component above.)

Anything to do with farming?

FGZstar

Family?

Gusset Login

Geography?

[Rosie] Reaping and sowing? NO
{FGZsar]Family? *applause ripple ensues* YES as it relates to the abstract element.
[GL] A particular place? NO.

Chimpanzees involved?

FGZstar

Evolution?

[Rosie] Too much monkey business? MAYBE. I've no first hand knowledge that chimps are involved. But it is not out of the realm of possibility.
[FGZstar]More monkey business? NO

Is the vegetable component largely wood?

[CdM] Vegetable recipe? Typically some wood is involved. But not largely wood, NO.

Seasonal significance?

Connected to entertainment?

[Raak] Changes like the weather? NO
[CdM] Applause worthy? NO

One man and his dog, who went to mow a meadow?

Connected to a specific country or culture?

We are not getting very far here ...

Tuj

Would you be surprised to find one of these indoors?

A zoo?

[Raak] *audience is surprised and sounds delighted* YES, there is an association with mowing.
[CdM] NO. Consider asking the opposite question.
[Tuj] NO, I would not be surprised. Some of these or parts of these may be found indoors.
[Rosie] NO.

Connected with sport?

*considered asking the opposite question -- but decided against it*

[CdM] Do you also eschew maps when you are lost? :-) NO.

Is the connection with mowing a figurative one?

[Raak] NO. It is literal.

Is the mowing connection due to some use of the product obtained (grass, straw, or something similar)?

[CdM] NO. The mowing is an end, not a means.

Are other activities equally connected?

Just a reminder to other players that while this is apparently linked to mowing it is not linked to geography or farming. (So the mowing is not on the ground and the mown items are not collected for sale or agriculture).

FGZstar

A haircut?

[Gusset Login] YES. Other activities are equally connected.
But perhaps I need to clarify my answer to the geography inquiry -- or at least your explanation of my answer, which may be misleading. It is not necessarily connected with a particular place (country, city, etc.) nor with a specific geographic feature (mountain, river, border.) I hope that helps.
[FGZStar] Tonsorial connection? NO.

A level playing field?

Would you advise us to keep pursuing the mowing link (or is it too peripheral)?

[Raak] *audience, which this evening appreciates irony, laughs* Metaphorically speaking I suppose, YES. But this thing is not a metaphor.
[CdM] YES, I do so advise.

A cricket pitch?

[Raak] NO. Not connected to sports.
