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 .?

Getting green but still three weeks away yet.

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!

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.

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 .

We are green here and had endless rain for what seems 2 years now.... Growing in healthy full sun spots. Not far

It's time for me to cut. Grass is almost hiding my beautiful flowers!!!

I cut the grass for the first time on Tuesday. Then it rained on Wednesday and Thursday. I left some muddy tracks in the back yard near my shop because I had to drive through water. I never got stuck or had the tires spinning throwing mud everywhere. I hope to get some sunshine over the weekend to dry it up. Harry
