4th Feb, middle of "winter"... mowed my lawn
 

Crazy huh?

The smell and all those little bugs that hover around in the warm sun made it feel literally like a late summers evening. Has anyone else fired up their mower?

yes, the other day

and we have daffodils in full bloom!!!

Probably be snowing in April / May.!

Been thinking bout it as its unusually long for this time of year but as you've done yours I'll wait for a dry day and do mine:lol:
SOME B4 & AFTA PICS OR DONE PICS MAYBE :D

I may do if it stops raining long enough...!!!
Ooop North of course..

Firing up the Qualcast tomorrow... in a life on Mars sort of way......

Not yet. The ground is still saturated here.

What's a qualcast captain??:wonder:

I made a cut late November and grass is 6" long now. Need to bring mower out of storage. Hopefully at the weekend

Showing my age...:norty:

It's a make of lawm mower, they come in a nice green colour, a rival to flymo in the day....

Our issue is that grass stop growing for winter when the air temp drops below 5 degrees. Which has only been a couple of times here in tropical Bedfordshire....

Grass not yet growing here, ground very wet, but daffs out, snowdrops in full bloom.

Learn sumat new everyday nice one:)

We used to have an ATCO......

I have a foot long grass growing in my gardens. I've been told NOT to get our local handy man to mow it at least until March, because cutting the grass right now can ruin it.

Is that right? :confused:

Grass is almost impossible to damage, if it's not frosty and dry enough to cut you can cut it, that comes from a farmer with many years of managing grass.

Ok, thank you very much, eggsandcherry. I should bear it in mind and get it cut as long as it's not frosty and wet out there.

Cut my lawn today, the wind dried it off enough to get it done, looks much tidier now:cool:

Ground still really wet here, have been wanting to do it for a few weeks as is pretty long. may power the mower through it if we get a few days with no rain.

Annoys me when its not tidy, cut it a couple of times a week in the summer.

My groundsman will be doing mine tomorrow.

Posh tw@t:lol1:

Same here.

Yep fired up mine yesterday, then it died, 3 times it started and stopped. So along with fixing bits on car, rc car now I have lawn mower to add to that.

sh1te fuel?

I have a bottle of octane booster that I use on lawnmowers, chainsaws etc - after a winter break

It's spelled Thwaite, I'll have you know.... :D

:lol1: Before you know it, you'll whole garden will be littered with ornaments and tacky trinkets!

My garden (if you'd call it that) is completely bare. It's basically like a small paddock with a failed flower bed in the corner :lol1:. Maybe in the summer I'll make more of an effort......

I am afraid when you have as many children as I have, cluttering up the garden is somewhat inevitable.

we have some sections of the top garden as a playground (it actually has a large wooden fort now as well!!)

and rest assured I have better things to do than hide or plant trinkets around the garden

(apart from bunny trails that's is)
