My grass is a foot high in some places

[Natural Citizen]

You know how in the Spring, some of it grows really tall and in other spots it isn't ready to cut yet?

Well that's how it is.

The places where the dog peed all winter are really tall. I guess from all of the nitrogen.

So it's been in the 70s lately.

I'm gonna have to just go do it.

But then once you do it the first time, then you have to do it every week after that.

At the moment, the excuse I'm floating around is that I might need to change the spark plugs in the mowers. Ha...

You've got a dead body buried beneath the 10" section.

I just say "I dont want too",,

doesnt work anymore since we bought my wife a 13K zeroturn mower,,

now I cant keep her off of it,,

 

[mamooth]

My grass isn't tall yet, but the wild onion clumps are. I've been digging them out.

I tried lawn fertilizer once. Afterwards, I had to run around and use a machete to keep the grass from coming in through the windows, and one of the cats went missing. Never again.

We converted to xeriscape a few years ago. Maintaining grass in Las Vegas is a major pain in the ass.

We are getting there in Austin. I keep the weeds in back cut in spring/summer because in Houston if you let the grass grow to six inches there would be a water moccasin in it...

Had similar problem around the bird feeders where the danged squirrels knocked the bird seed to the ground. Already had to mow it.

 

[DudleySmith]

Mowed only 4 days ago and it's higher now than when I mowed it.

Reminds me of when I saw a lawn full of dandelions one spring. I thought to myself, how pretty.
