Title: Cutting the grass..!!
Post by: Scrumpy on March 04, 2022, 04:59:52 PM



I couldn't believe it when my mate said that she had cut her grass the other day..!!
I have never heard of grass cutting so early..
Has anyone else done this.?

 keep a diary with a page for each date. Sometimes I have first cut the grass in February, sometimes in April

It was looking very shaggy.
The weather forecast, said no frost for a few days. So, I risked it.....  :wink:

If the grass needs cutting, cut it, frost will not harm it. Keep in mind golf courses through out the country have to keep the grass short to keep it playable. This is the time of the year to fork lawns while its soft. Late March April time to weed and feed.

I don't like gardening or cutting the grass so I often think "fork the lawns".

I've got a gardener - doesn't that sound posh  :grin: :grin: he comes every fortnight and charges £20 each time, it's worth it for me as I've got a long lawn.
The front garden is stones, yesterday I put a rubber snake attached to a stick on the stones to deter the cats from using the garden as a large litter tray !!!  I didn't have this problem when I had my own cat  :cry:   I imagine the neighbours will think ' the mad woman from number 6 is at it again'

Our lawn is a mess but we can't walk on it as it is so wet.  It's a lovely day today so hopefully it will be drying out.
