Freebird Posted November 4, 2020 #1 Posted November 4, 2020 Just finished mowing the yard. My I the only one still having to mow? I figure at least once or twice more.
RDawson Posted November 4, 2020 #2 Posted November 4, 2020 I still have at least one more, we’re back in the 70s here. We rode the last two days.
SpencerPJ Posted November 4, 2020 #3 Posted November 4, 2020 I mowed yesterday, went for a 2hr ride today. Warm in Indy. Like a dummy, I fertilized 2 weeks ago, Fall Food, boy did it perk up with last weeks rain.
Freebird Posted November 4, 2020 Author #4 Posted November 4, 2020 I fertilized. few weeks ago also. Have one more fertilizing to do probably next week. Fertilizer and weed control.
bpate4home Posted November 4, 2020 #5 Posted November 4, 2020 Since I'm in the Houston I'll still have while to mow. 1
cowpuc Posted November 4, 2020 #6 Posted November 4, 2020 Lookin good there Mr. Nelson, lookin good!! As far as west Michigans lake shore, mow shmow,, how bout s&*w? Fool thought he had me on that one 😛 !! My mowing has been done for month now and about 40% of our leaves are down. We are now in the phase of the battle between the leafs and fools WWW.. Twice now we have been covered with WWW but,, you know Jeff he likes to tease and not send enough to nock down the rest of the leafs. This leaves everyone here wondering if our raking/blowing techniques are going to have to start including raking and blowing up in the trees where the bulk of the leaves remain if we dont want to end up with an unrakeable, unblowable leaf disastor come spring.
Freebird Posted November 4, 2020 Author #7 Posted November 4, 2020 Yea, I figure our leaves are about 40% down also. I mowed/mulched them today but will likely have to vacuum next time. I have a DRPower leaf vac that I tow with the mower but I HATE using that thing. I don't do it any more often than necessary.
Flyinfool Posted November 4, 2020 #8 Posted November 4, 2020 I have a few mowing rules. 1. I hate mowing. 2. I will always be the last person on the block to mow for the first time in spring, and NEVER before May. 3. I hate mowing. 4. I will always be the first person on the block to mow for the last time in fall, and NEVER after September. 5. I hate mowing 6. I NEVER fertilize, that only makes for more mowing. 7. I hate mowing. 8. Drought and that lovely shade of brown that grass gets to is a good thing, I NEVER water, that promotes mowing. 9. I hate mowing. 10. NEVER EVER will I mow twice in the same week, never for any reason. Did I ever mention that I hate mowing? And then there is that @cowpuc character that like to poke the bear, thinks that no one can read thru things like s&*w that he is realy trying to say SNOW. 2
Marcarl Posted November 5, 2020 #10 Posted November 5, 2020 Last time mowing coming up soon. Gonna be warm next few days so hopefully all the leaves will be down and dry. One more time and then the mower gets exchanged with the blower, and that needs to be tuned. Lovely changing of the seasons, can't find a better place to live.
RDawson Posted November 5, 2020 #11 Posted November 5, 2020 I’m with Jeff but if I waited til May it’d be up to my ears and I’m on the north side of 6ft. Fertilizer is for the garden and I don’t plant those either.
N3FOL Posted November 5, 2020 #12 Posted November 5, 2020 Glad to see I am also not alone. I have not fertilized yet, but this weekend is looking very promising. Weather is so nice this time in November. 2 more cuts before I put away the tractor.
Max Posted November 5, 2020 #13 Posted November 5, 2020 One more cut this way. Winterized the ol' 87 way too early .. Oct 28th this morning Nov 5th
Bubber Posted November 6, 2020 #14 Posted November 6, 2020 I am with Flyinfool on mowing. Grass is just green crap that covers dirt. 1
N3FOL Posted November 8, 2020 #16 Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) I mowed yesterday. Fertilizer is going down on Tuesday before the rain. 😂 Edited November 8, 2020 by N3FOL
slowrollwv Posted November 8, 2020 #17 Posted November 8, 2020 I am not done yet. We did finish up this week on Berkeley co. schools (32 of them). One more for the town of Hedgesville next week and Mine and my son's next week then we head to camp for Hunting season.
AKRefugee Posted November 9, 2020 #18 Posted November 9, 2020 I'm with FlyinFool on this one. The joys of living in the desert.
