Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted April 30, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2023 Rain was drip drip dripping through the roof over my seat five minutes after it started Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted May 1, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2023 Hate this weather, sunny one minute, rain the next and repeat. Bastard grass and dandelions love it so my piss wet through muddy back garden looks like shite and will take an age to mow when finally dry enough. Grrr.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 1, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2023 Get it cut. Be too long soon and will remain damp low down meaning it will be a shitty cut anyway. Rough cut now, highish setting. Repeat in a few days on a lower setting. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the advice, will do it tomorrow lunchtime on top setting then hopefully a bit lower on Wednesday before it rains again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 1, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2023 I did a lawn over the weekend that was really lush and high. Dry on top, but wet underneath. Even on top setting, it kept clogging the mower, and I had to keep clearing it by hand. It also results in tearing of the grass, which isn't good. I'll do it again tomorrow and it will be bob on.

Still looks good even a bit longer than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Or sow a wildflower lawn like we did this year - looking great already and getting loads of butterflies and bees which is good to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave them a bit longer and feed occasionally. They'll thank you for it. If the wife moans, send her out to cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up borrowing a verticutter and reseeding it. Was dead impressed with myself 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

globaldiver Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Having walked every day for the last 10 years or so, the thing I notice about the weather is that we seem to get more wind than hitherto. Don’t know if this is the case, @gonzo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if this is the case, @gonzo? Definitely is pal. Like any other weather systems the averages as well as the extremes are getting greater. Rising sea temps spazzing up atmospheric pressure and traditional cylces. We seem to have had a lot of east winds here over the past few months. We get used to a generic west wind over this way so its really noticeable when the wind changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
