🏡 Better Homes Lawn Lords and Garden Gentlemen

I have to cut my grass this weekend. It's still mostly green because I have a lot of shade. The heavy rainfall we had on Thursday last week was enough to cause some growth and I've watered the main part of my backyard once a week. The one spot behind my garage with the densest, nicest grass on my property has gone dormant.

Just edged and did the street strips and back yard. I’ll do the rest tomorrow. All things considered it’s not bad.

Also just had a neighbor ask me why I started bagging when cutting my grass. Just said I wanted to and see what the big deal was. Didn’t want to get into the specifics of batteries and bla bla bla.

Dude with the most serious of faces and voice then asked “you trying to be the best lawn in the neighborhood or something?” I said nope, just better than yours.

I now have a mortal enemy for life. ???

Quick snack of fresh mulberries right off the tree while mowing the weeds.. I mean lawn.

Growing up my parents had a mulberry tree. Definitely a tasty mid-mow snack

I just weed whacked to get the peripheral areas that continue to explode despite the death of the main parts of the yard.

My back yard has come a long way this year. The center section is obviously some sort of weed but it’s not unpleasant to walk on. And one spot the dog likes to eat dirt.

Record amounts of rain the last month or two might have helped a little lol.

How’s everyones crispy grass doing?

 

[Fish]

Mine still looks like the last pic I posted. So I can’t complain that much.

 

[Jon01]

Mines not doing too bad, the clover and little bit of rain we have gotten every week or so is the only thing keeping it from going to complete shit.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I watered the front for nearly 5.5 hours last night.

I am doing the side portion now.

 

[smug]

It’s crispy

 

[Z28Camaro]

Mine is doing better than average but it’s largely due to the shade from too many trees. Moles are wreaking havoc still but I am almost out of fucks to give. Over $150 in poison, traps and smoke bombs and only 4 confirmed kills. It’s whack a mole but worse. One good thing about the dry spell is less mowing. Gonna be real crispy by July though if we don’t get caught up on some precipitation.

Most of my front lawn and many peoples lawns are straight dead by me. Bright yellow beige and no green at all.

 

[DanJ]

I have some green but my front is cooked. Haven’t mowed it in at least a week maybe longer. Back is good because it’s shaded and I water it.

 

[Aircal]

Front looks good because its shaded. I had sprinkle once or twice a week. Back was really brown. Bounced green some after the rain but is browning out fast. Good time to go spray the clover.

Pond in one of the local subdivisions is now 50% earth and the other 50% is drying up.

Do I buy a battery powered rider, or this? Honestly, Id probably just buy this.

I mowed my desert today... Not because I wanted a quality cut, but more so because where I had watered over the past week or two, had actually grown. It was thin, but growing (about a foot long). More importantly, it had the seedlings on the tips of the blades. So knowing that we might get a decent chance of rain tonight, I figured I'd trim it down and get it in the ground. So I set the mower at it's highest setting and trimmed it.

At one point I looked down and the mower was smoking like it was on fire. Some dry leaves (My linden trees are all shedding leaves already) must've gotten kicked up, hit the exhaust and started to roast. The roasting fell off the mower deck and actually in to the grass and started smoldering in the grass. I had to stomp it to put it out. So if we had a Chicago wildfire break out, you could've blamed me.

 

[DanJ]

I have a linden out front and those early “leaves” or whatever they are drive me crazy.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Freakin' colossal mess after last nights rain.

 

[DanJ]

They’re cool trees, but they drop weird shit spring to fall.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Exactly.

Rain over the holiday is bringing the lawn back finally.

Time to mow!

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Yea, mine exploded this week. I mowed it between the rain drops last night.
