Does warm weather make grass plump and easier to mow?????

Commune with it. Be the grass. John T.

By the middle of May mine USUALLY has pretty much turned to tough dry straw - it is lush and juicy in the spring. I mowed mine for the first time this spring on Saturday. Usually I would have mowed it 3-5 times already. I will be doing some re-seeding as soon as I get rid of the speedwell and spurge that has joined the Plantain and Dandelion in choking out my grass - - -

A friend has a weed whacker with an attachment that makes it into a mower - I think it's between 10 and 12 inches - - -

Sometime after the mddle of May my grass gets "brittle" and you could almost "cut" it with a baseball bat - - -

I'm making up for your laxness, because usually I woudn't have mowed it at all until June. I think one dry year I only mowed it 3 times. But this year I started over a week ago. (I've been waiting for the sharpening gizmo to come in the mail. But that won't answer the big question, Why?)

It's a shame weeds along aren't considered beautiful.

No, that's dangerous. Someone might mow me.

I'm sure that is the difference. Problem solved.
