I recently returned from hiking the hill country in West Texas. Guadalupe Peak is a great hike 8.4 miles round trip. I did the ascent in a bit over an hour and a half.

just got back from being outdoors. about as nice as a spring minnesota weather day gets. a few degrees cooler and it'd be perfect. pretty good though.

Saw a yard in a nearby neighborhood that had a "No mow May" sign in it. The lawn looked terrible...long grass, long weeds. Hope it was worth it for them...weimy froob wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 11:43 am i'm pretty much done with my outdoors for the day. tomorrow i'll mow that lawn if it isn't raining. no mow may goes away after today.

Re: Anyone head outdoors lately?
it was worth it for me. i wish i had one of those signs though. my yard is the only one in the neighborhood that hasn't been mowed yet and i don't know if the neighbors get the bit.Hornets wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 9:10 pmSaw a yard in a nearby neighborhood that had a "No mow May" sign in it.

if we don't get much rain in june i'll go at least another three weeks before i mow in that month as well. one mow in july and then probably only three mows for the season beginning with the mow in august. that depends. i like to mulch the leaves with the mower in the fall so i could mow more than that in october--but that's to get those leaves.

No offense but with no watering or weed control my guess is your lawn looks like, ahem.....a mess.weimy froob wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 9:22 pmnever. i'd also never put chemicals on it--even if they paid me.Hornets wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 9:21 pmDo you water your lawn Weimy?weimy froob wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 9:19 pm

Re: Anyone head outdoors lately?
it's going to look pretty good after the scalping tomorrow. i noticed that my neighbor's grass hasn't grown much since he mowed about 10 days ago. if that's the growth rate i can easily get three weeks before the next mow in june.Hornets wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 9:24 pmNo offense but with no watering or weed control my guess is your lawn looks like, ahem.....a mess.weimy froob wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 9:22 pmnever. i'd also never put chemicals on it--even if they paid me.

Re: Anyone head outdoors lately?
I recently saw a yard tips forum where they said you should never cut off more than 1/3 of the current height of your grass. From the sounds of it you're going to throw caution to the wind and go well beyond that...weimy froob wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 9:27 pmit's going to look pretty good after the scalping tomorrow. i noticed that my neighbor's grass hasn't grown much since he mowed about 10 days ago. if that's the growth rate i can easily get three weeks before the next mow in june.Hornets wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 9:24 pmNo offense but with no watering or weed control my guess is your lawn looks like, ahem.....a mess.weimy froob wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 9:22 pm

Re: Anyone head outdoors lately?
it was a no mow may last year and i think the grass was higher. everything's going to be fine after the cut. i don't want the grass to grow too fast anyways.Hornets wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 9:31 pmI recently saw a yard tips forum where they said you should never cut off more than 1/3 of the current height of your grass.

Re: Anyone head outdoors lately?
had to go outdoors to mow the lawn. i also pulled out eight bags of leaves from behind the garage and spread them out first. lawn looks great and it's got some good mulch on it too. i think i did it right with the no mow may. i even saw a bee in the back yard before i pulled the rope on the mower. that's why you're supposed to let it grow for the month. must be something to it.
