Morning Pat. I can't wait for the weekend too. I really, really hope the weather is decent though. Rain the last two weekends and I have dandelions that are up to my belly button.

Yeah, they are two weeks old. All around the pool. The front yard looks good so the neighbors aren't complaining. I have True Green treat the front yard so it looks green and clean. I just need the grass to dry up so I can get it mowed.

Just mowed mine last night. It's in the "needs mowing every 4 days" mode right now. Growing like crazy!

Might have to jack it way up, and do it twice over a few day period. I've had to do that before, to avoid damaging the grass too much.

Thats the plan. Ill pull the blade all the way to 6 to cut it decent, then go back over it the next day on 4 which is my normal setting.

I have a company that does all of the fertilizer and what-not. I just don't have the time, and I forget a lot. But, the lawn looks a lot better now!

Green is better than brown. Crazy how much we spend on grass just to look at and have to work to keep looking good. Unreal.
