Mowing the yard
I cut my grass last night and remembered that my first cut was in March and I'm still cutting. Darn grass is still growing. Plus I have to put down winter fescue in the back yard otherwise the three dogs will be bringing in dead grass and mud the whole fall winter season. The fescue looks pretty good and last until May.
Anyone else getting tired of yard work? Anyone still doing yard work?

I have a quarter acre and two daughters so yeah I have to do it all. My dad was lucky he had three sons and we had a push mower. We begged him for a riding tractor but he just said take turns when you get tired. What do I have? a frickin push mower.....

Oddly enuff I sorta look fwd to it. I'm just getting back to being physically able to do things around the yard after so long of not being able to. I outdo the wife now and she calls it off if she can't keep up. Maybe next spring or even this fall some of our plans will get rolling. I'd like to split up some plants that need it and remove some little bushes that just keep growing outward from dropped seeds.

I hate yard work with a passion!
Although. . . until last Saturday, I hadn't mowed the lawn in a month.
My lawn kinda/sorta looks like the pictures from Mars. Red clay and barren.
Well . . there are a couple of patches of green. I just wish that 'green' was money!

My yard has kinda quit growing by now. Thank goodness cause my ol case 446 has a hydraulic problem and it was starting to take quite awhile to mow the lawn!
If I can get my 446 fixed before the snow falls I would like to mow it once more though, keep things nice and short.

i wait for my lawn to grow nice and tall and then cut it with a weedeateror drive over it a few times with the truck and drag something around behind it... i live in the red neck sort of area where property values arent a big thing anyways... since we just rent the property but own the house...

Last year I cut my lawn twice due to the drought. This year I'm cutting it twice a week. The skies seem to know when I shut down the mower and dumps about 2" of rain within a day of me cutting. Just across town some areas haven't had substantial rain in weeks.

Here in Illinois,the grass has not died or even slowed down this year. I have cut it once a week since april,and still growing strong now in september. Usually gets hot and dry in july/august every summer,but not this year,plenty of rain and hasn't been real hot. at this rate I will be cutting grass until november!!
