Mowing time soon
After couple of days of steady rain the grass is greening up and starting to grow . All that is needed here is a day or two of sun and the grass will be ready to cut . How is it for you all .?

I cut ours for the first time last week. It’ll need in again in a day or two. We’re about in full swing for mowing season here!

Re: Mowing time soon
It has rained so much recently and still is my property is flooded. It will take a week of sunshine and wind to dry it out. I’m in no hurry I’ve got plenty of projects in the shop to keep me busy. Harry

Drainage is no problem here Harry . We live on a pile of sand and gravel left behind by the glacier . Amending the soil so it holds some moisture has been the work in progress .

Crab grass is coming along nicely in the city...

As soon as the rest of the weeds catch up - I think I should be ready to fire up the lawnmower sometime next week

That reminds me of my trips to Florida Mr Dave. Pure sand everywhere you look. I’m shocked anything grows there at all.DavidBarkey wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 10:03 amDrainage is no problem here Harry .

Re: Mowing time soon
Fortunately the top water table ( there is 4 ) is only about 20-30 down depending the spot on the yard and sits on a clay layer thats about 60 foot down . All that sand makes for a great water filter . We got some of the best drinking water around . So thats the trade off .JSinMO wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 9:40 pmThat reminds me of my trips to Florida Mr Dave. Pure sand everywhere you look.
