Well it’s started.
I was going to put it off 2 more weeks but the wife is bored and started mowing this afternoon and I finished up when I came home. I thought I had the mower fairly well blocked in ya hear me but she dug it out.
Sorry fellas, it’s now mowing season and we started it.

Re: Well it’s started.
Yep. I was thinking about mowing this weekend. Grass is green and growing. Our subsoil is saturated.

Re: Well it’s started.
I haven't really committed to putting the snow blower away yet. We got 6" Tuesday, but it did melt off by the Wednesday AM.

Re: Well it’s started.
Cant even see the grass in most places still. Mowing is about a month plus away in the north id say.

Re: Well it’s started.
Mowed mine on Tuesday. Has been a mild winter and spring is here. Had to get it in before the rain we got yesterday.

Re: Well it’s started.
Well, I was bored so I took the cab and blower off the Kubota and put the loader and deck on. My wife laughed at me saying I was having premature spring fever. We have a good month or so before mowing up north. In a pinch, I can clear the driveway with the loader if it snows again.

Re: Well it’s started.
I spray my 2.5 acres every spring and fall so I don’t have many weeds. I don’t think I’ll have to mow for another month. The Bermuda is just starting to green up.

Re: Well it’s started.
One of my sons mowed the back yard today. I won't dignify it with the word "lawn", though. Mostly some kind of weed that looks like geraniums but has no flowers. At least the dachshund can see where it's going, now.

Re: Well it’s started.
Lawn isn't a word I use either. It's my yard. I have ground cover. Keeps the dirt from washing away. I can remember when we didn't start mowing until May. We just had rain for something like 12 consecutive days and temps in the 60s & 70s. Rain again tomorrow and tstorms saturday so today was the day.

Re: Well it’s started.
I have pea gravel. No need for a mower. Just weed killer.

Re: Well it’s started.
It's a shame they don't have green gravel for effect.

My wife wanted me to till the garden today. Fortunately it snowed this morning.

Re: Well it’s started.
Yeah but you don't own a snow shovel do you? My daughter in south Louisiana hasn't stopped mowing either. Stayed green all winter.

My grass has greened up this week and there are some "grasses" grown to cutting length. But I always wait the first time and give it all a chance to grow out a while. I'm in no hurry to begin the ritual and I just think it's healthy to let it be as it comes out after winter. There are also bulb-type flowers that come up in the grassy areas. I have them all over my front yard. Once I start mowing I have to mow around them till they're done. I have the mower running, ready, and waiting. Time to mulch!

Re: Well it’s started.
no snow shoveling here or we're all in big trouble, but I've shoveled tons of it back home..
shoveled neighbor lots for $5 when we lived in the city house, and miles of it out on the farm.. in high school, girl friend's dad owned a construction company and had the snow removal contract for Richard's Gebaur AFB.. made prevailing wage , something like $16hr  first day ralleyed at their equipment yard, I said heck ya I can operate those.. the older men laughed, tossed me a snow shovel and a map of sidewalks then spent entire winter at great lakes NTC and yep, shoveled miles of sidewalks around that base too for $0hr back to mowing, my folks got the mowing contract for 7 big apartment complexes same owner.. my uncle was the manager of hillside appartments, how my folks met him.. hillside is on Truman road round the corner from Joe's Junk  any independence locals here might know the oaks, the walnut, sterling, motel 6 on i70 and woods chapel road some of them.. these are some of the old machines I finally cleared out of the barn last summer, donated to same shop mom's kubotas went to.. he distributes them to public school shop classes so yah, I've mowed and shoveled a heckuva lot more than the average bear, and will drop this OC house the second I retire and get right back to it I'm just about the only guy, especially my age and lot size, that mows his own yard on my block, piece of cake
