That didn't stop the local council's contractors yesterday cutting The Green to my house's frontage, but I suppose those huge gang mowers work reasonably well no matter what the weather or state of the ground.

Re: I mowed my lawn this afternoon

I had to cut my grass too the recent rain made it go mad, it went from brown to green and 150mm tall in a week, it'll need another cut next week. Hate it!

Re: I mowed my lawn this afternoon

Quite sunny here today and warm when the wind stopped, so I managed to edge most of it. It is starting to look a bit like a lawn again.

Re: I mowed my lawn this afternoon

I had a new part of the lawn alongside the old one turfed today, that was where a hedge was taken out last year. At least with the almost daily rain and damp weather it stands a good chance of being established alright in two or three weeks. It definitely looks better than the brambles and nettles that had taken over after the hedge was removed.

I'm trying to get the garden back into good condition in case Mrs LD has to spend any isolation periods at home. At least she will be able to sit in the garden (weather dependant) rather than go insane in the house.
Do mine next!

Re: I mowed my lawn this afternoon

I can't see the point in lawns, or rather, having a lawn and having to look after it. Give me the jungle.
