Mowing the lawn

[beachBOYken]

Is it just me or has this season been another weird one, I’ve hardly needed to mow the lawn.
I remember years past I was constantly mowing the lawn weekly, but this summer perhaps 2-3 times!

 

[ChrisD.]

No.

Been mowing weekly since approx. April (maybe every 2 weeks in April then every week may onwards ).

In fact due to the constant rain I could have mowed a bit more often as it growed a bit more relative to past summers.

 

[beachBOYken]

It’s weird then, as like you say it’s not been the driest of Summers.

 

[dave28]

mowed several times, maybe 5 times and now it needs another again as soon as the ground is dry

Thread hijack.

It is nearly that time again. Back lawn is growing like crazy, rain and warmth. Front not so much but i need to rake some moss out.

Sharpen mower blade and trimmers and wait for several dry days on the trot.

I cut the lawn on Friday. Highest setting. It looks sunny and warm next week and it’s already growing a chunk.

 

[Hagar]

Yes first cut yesterday on nearly the highest setting. First sign of spring, whirring mower blades

Grass is getting skimmed with the ride on mower this afternoon so that I don’t have to strim it all next week.

First cut yesterday, front didnt need doing but back was very long

My mower appears to have died so need to get a new one soon and give the back its first cut

Is it a petrol one?

 

[dave28]

the best and most reliable mower I have ever owned is so old now that the deck has rotted to the point it is collapsing.

the engine still runs like new and it starts every time so might look into the price of getting a new deck fitted.

Ed- apologies Ken

Now that the ten weeks of non stop rain I had to catch up last weekend.

 

[iamgigglz]

Praying the rain holds until the weekend so I can give the back garden a trim, although Thursday and Friday look pretty bleak.
The second hand Hyundai 80cc probably needs an oil change but it's been faultless so far.

Too damb so far wher i am to get the mower out currnetly. Want to start soon as want to give the garden some top dressing and reseed it to make it better then last years.

 

[danlightbulb]

Lawn is clay mud pit so needs to dry out substantially before first mowing.

 

[Littlenose]

back garden had it's first trim on Saturday eve.
Never mown grass in Feb before

 

[Livewire88]

New lawn for me this year, when I can be bothered to rent a skimmer to remove the old grass.

Its far too lumpy/bumpy to save, it lasted eight years so will be nice to get a fresh one down.

 

[beachBOYken]

Was going to mow ours on a high cut today, but its a little wet still, hopefully it drys some more before next rainfall.
