Anyone Still Cutting Grass?

[Grizz1219]

I'll be cutting the grass a few more times.. Plus, will be taking out the Cyclone rake when the leaves drop... I'll have my Deere out for a few more weeks at least... 

[JRod 8G8H]

once a week... gotta mulch up those young leaves...  earlier it the summer it was twice a week..

[OtiscoPaul]

All spring/summer every 4 days, ugh.

I have slacked in October between the heat, rain and hunting.

Planning on doing the full monty (mow, trim, fill dog holes etc...) this weekend and then praying for frost by the 31st!

A good hard frost or two would slow it down some for sure!

I hope old man winter rolls in on Halloween and doesn't give in all season...turn it to tundra!

Might even keep the deer working for a living instead of dodgin me like they owed me money.

Nope.  Once bow season opens I quit mowing lawn.  If anyone drives by and doesn't like how it looks, the key is in the mower, have at it.

Have never seen a headstone that said "I wish I'd spent more time mowing the lawn and less time hunting."

Absolutely! Keep it short and hope for high winds, neighnors get my leaves .

[Arcade Hunter]

Still mowing once a week.

[left field]

Mow this weekend and probably once more after that.

Same here.....I have never had to deal with leaves here. With the winds we get they are everywhere but here and I love it

[OtiscoPaul]

Well just as if my own Grampy had kindly asked me about my lawn I got the hint and did the deed.

Did i mention all push mower and stihl trimmer due to fluctuating topography and got it done while my 2.5 yr old daughter was napping!

Ha-ha-ha..... You mentioned a push mower. I remember when that used to mean the old reel type mowers that you pushed by hand to make the reel blade rotate against a stationary knife blade to cut the grass. Luckily, I was too little to have that job. That was Dad's job until he decided to do the lawn mowing with the 8N and the sickle-bar mower.

Done!, Ya know there is a big advantage to planting plots everywhere whether it makes it difficult to get to a stands or not...30 mins done...verse several hours...

[turkeyfeathers]

Apparently I need too 

[G-Man]

I really need to....

[DirtTime]

Mowed mine this afternoon. Was higher then it looked.  

[Gencountyzeek]

Mowed mine today, hoping its the last time. Probably wont be

Actually mow my lawn more during late October than I do any month during the summer timeframe. Keeps leaves mulched up and grass short so the wind can blow them away. Sorry neighbors! Last time I raked leaves, had ~15  bags & NO way to get rid of them.

[mlammerhirt]

Biting the bullet and going to move in a little bit....I always say it's the last time I am going to mow in October and then end up mowing right up till 11/1!

Cut it last weekend and it needs it again. I do a fall weed n feed because that’s actually the best time to do it, but sure isn’t helping with gas money haha. 

[BizCT]

Fresh cut today.

 

[Steve D]

Did mine today for the last time...to hot to hunt anyway. Tomorrow the deck gets cleaned, the blades come off, the battery comes out,  and it gets put away. Tried the snow blower to make sure and it fired up the first time so know I can hunt on Monday when it is cooler.

[The_Real_TCIII]

I'll keep mowing until the leaves are done, it's more vacuuming I guess

[GreeneHunter]

Mowed 2 acres and burned a ton of leaves yesterday .... smoked out the neighborhood !

[Will_C]

I'll mow until the end of the month, but will store the mowers the weekend of the 28th. I am mind of a mowing fanatic, but enough is enough.
