My lawn went dormant in mid Dec. It's still green, but not growing. That's perfect. I don't have to  mow it, and I still enjoy a green lawn until it begins to grow again in March. :aok

I used to have a company that installed Sprinkler systems..... Letting the lawn frown tall is not the answer. If younlet it grow it tends to grow up not out, takes energy to support tall lawns. Keep the grass mowed and it will have a stronger root system that will spread thereby filling in your lawn.

I have 2 aces, 90% of which needs to be mowed every 5 days during summer months, else it gets too long and needs to be raked or........wife gets mad.

At the point in my life, my daily schedule revolves around stuff that keeps her, if not happy, at least tolerable:furious . So I mow the frikkin lawn when it doesnt need it...only a few hours. (of utter non-shrew beer-drinking, mp3 blaring bliss!)

I don't think I have to mow anything for a while.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

My favorite part about mowing was always kicking back after it was done, with a cold beer and 'surveying' my domain.

my favorite part is gettin payed. I mow our lawn, but then when im done I move on to the ones that make me money.  I once edges, weed ate, and mowed an acre in 2 hours with a push mower in july in texas after a quick summer rain. Gawd that was humid. worth the 40 bucks tho.
