first lawn cut of 2012

[rusky]

I leave the chickens to clear the dead plants, they rake it onto the lawn & I just pick it up!

Did my first cut a fortnight ago but a load of rubbish has got piled up infront of the shed door and I can't get the mower out at the moment.
Dayvo are those grass boxes on the front of the cylinders on the greens mower?

Greens:

Oooh a Toro Greensmaster 3250!!!

Grass doesn't grow below ten degrees, it's been above that for a month in Norwich. Mowed three lawns, planted 30 acidanthera, spread some leaf mould on the rhubarb patch, emptied the semi-rotted compost into the mature compost heap, and seriously considered the offer in the Torygraph of a biodegradable flag of the union that you plant petunias thru. The flag biodegrades and the flowers bloom and form the flag for Jubilee and Olympic year.

I think we have now cut ours three times. I like gardening so spent a few hours tidying up outside today (I'd rather tidy the garden than indoors), and managed to fill our green bin!

Cut mine for the first time a few weeks ago, and again today...not gonna be long before it is a weekly chore

ditto

Cut ours twice already (no it's not Jewish) and helped the guy next door he has three lawns.Also did him some edging.

I cut ours earlier in the week, I like pottering round the garden so I spent an afternoon weeding and having a general tidy up.

I dug my lawn over a few weeks ago, to turn it in to a wild-flower meadow. As opposed to the usual moss and clover.
However, it's become the local lavatory for every cat on the street

That's right, HG.

Stops the golfers complaining about the cuttings spoiling their putting on the greens, as a good green should be a level and even surface.

Ours had its second cut of the year today and I took advantage of using the hosepipe to wash our windows and the conservatory before the ban comes in next week.

I regard lawn mowing with the same enthusiasm as I do housework. Can't imagine why some people feel a need to cut their lawns twice a week.
