Bizarre. I've never in my life mowed lawn before Easter here in Minnesota, it's unheard of! I breifly considered mounting up my 62c on the 2210 today but since we seem to still be in drought it's probably best to just leave it alone. Crazy weather! I could mow, it's thick in places. Fuel prices are so high I don't want to start any sooner than I have to.

Trust me it's all an illusion, you really don't have to mow till late May. Enjoy the weather sit back on the porch and have a cold one thinking about all the mowing you will be doing in the near future. :laughing:

I know what you mean. I planted seed in early March with those temp spikes we had and watered with the sprinkler. Thought the neighbors were going to put me on a 5150 (72 hr psych hold). Now the established grass is grown wild because all the sunlight through the trees with no leaves and the seed is about an inch and a half. I think small animals could live in some areas and not be noticed but I do not want to tear out seedlings. Just think what the neighbors are thinking now not knowing I seeded and they have all cut at least once.:confused2:

i've mowed the yard 3 times already. In a few weeks it would be normal time to start mowing here in central Ohio.

The upside is we can start thinking about planting palm trees now. :D

I mowed everything real short about two weeks ago, then dethatched and fertilized +ironite. Time to mow it this Sunday morning.

Mowed once in March, first ever I remember mowing that early, now it needs a second mowing.
