I only cut mine about 4 times total last summer Morris and the first time was in the beginning of July. Last year was pretty strange, nothing seemed to grow..

Good afternoon gents.

We did get snow a while ago but it melted 3 days later, and is 8 C today.

Is fescue is a fast growing grass that does well in dry conditions? That's what I need on my big sand hill of a yard.

Got my auction deals picked up and grabbed some label blanks so that I can inventory all the stuff there is for Ebay. This is the start of a busy week as there's lots of office work for me to do and I'm having an open house for the neighborhood so that we can deal with the break ins that happened during the Xmas break. Will be nice to finally be able to start working from home and not have to chase around doing off yard jobs.

Drought tolerant would be good here Steve, it's pretty dry here most of the time.
Sounds like you`ll be busy for a while Perry.

Sounds way too cold there Morris.
We have been colder than usual the past couple of years though.
And received much more snow the last few years to.

Hi Grant...bye Grant...

Some good stuff Perry?
All I know about grass is it seems to always need cutting.

I kinda thought that fescue was a bit of a wild grass that was easy to pull up.
I've got 2 days of past camera monitoring to do at 12 times fast forward and then time and date log any suspicious activity that's happened since the cameras were installed so that's about 3 weeks worth of viewing from 2 cameras. Then it's time to create an inventory system and catalog every thing that's getting listed. Most items are going to need product description research followed by Ebay pricing comparison before they get listed. It's a lot of piddly pita work that gets monotonous really fast but gets easier and faster as I go, after awhile it becomes second nature.

Warm spell has started to come in which should mean quite a few people will show up for the open house.
