Yup...as nice as it is to have a green lawn it's even nicer to not have to worry about cutting it more than every 10-14 days...

I like to get outside as well, but I'd rather go for a walk than mow the lawn...

Agree MANY more fun things to do outside rather than get all lathered up and sneezy behind a mower or riding a tractor.
But hey Glenn what ever floats your boat Bro !!
I've got a walk behind mower....so I get to walk and get the lawn done. The tractor is now used for tugging the utility cart...and moving my 4'x8' trailer to and from it's parking spot in the corner of the yard. I never liked the way the tractor cut. The walk behind leaves some nice stripes. And it's a lot more manuverable.

The sum total of my lawncare knowledge (and appetite)
1) When the grass gets long, mow it.
2) If it can wait a week, let it.
3) If you need an excuse to stnad around with a beer, go water the lawn.
4) If it's hot, stay on the porch with your beer- it'll only get warm in the sun.
5) If it looks like grass, mow it. If it's pretty close to stuff that looks like grass, mow that, too.

I noticed a few spots getting a bit dry yesterday when mowing. And I'd like to modify my statement. I love mowing the lawn...just not when it's 90F outside. I was soaked yesterday by the time I was done...and pretty tired. The heat and I don't get along very well. :lol:

Noticed yesterday mine is getting a little dry, was hoping that some of the storms last night hit it, but looks like tomorrow we are getting some rain
I don't mind cutting mine, when I gps'd it it was a little over 1/4 mile of walking.

In Slovakia they use a goat to take care of the soccer field. I guess you have to be careful not to fall.
Sounds like something I would do.
LMAO! x2! Next time I mow, I should fire up "Phresheez" and see what it spits out.

LMAO ----------------Guess several of us are nuts huh ?
Being a nerd and older than dirt i used to do the math on mowing my place using a 22 inch walk behind it came out to roughly a 1and quarter mile walk

I mowed my grass this morning. My *cough* estate *cough* is small enought that a 19" Briggs & Stratton-brand push mower gets the job done in 25 or 30 minutes. I have the sprinkler going on the row of rose bushes I planted a month ago. I then need to point it at the hydrangea plants I put in front of my cottage in the hopes that it will be a hedge some day.

Have always wondered about the #'s so I took my GPS with me this evening. Mowed 2 lawns, and at the end checked the info. 2.3miles walked, top speed of 5.7mph, and exactly 60 minutes. This was mow/trim/blow.

I got a trim/blow this evening. Didn't have to walk a bit. I tried to go for 60 minutes but didn't make it.

Quick question for the lawn care gurus...with the hot weather forecast should I delay mowing my lawn? It's getting a bit long but has not grown much...it's been over 2 weeks since it was last mowed.
You should mow it on the longest setting your mower allows, but I don't think you should let it grow uncontrollably. Otherwise when you do cut it you will stress the grass. You shoudl only ever be removing 1/3 of the grass blade at a time.
I'm wondering what my lawn looks like right about now. I've been in SC for a while, heading home tonight. Hope it's still OK!

Unfortunately, I think teh heavy rain (and I mean deluge-style) we had last night is probably going to lead to a growth spurt. Skipped mowing last weekend, don't think I'll be able to get away with it again.
