The weather here in Middle TN, since the beginning of March, has been so back-and-forth(70's to low 80's for a couple of days, then 50' to 60's for a couple of days) with lots and lots of rain everytime it goes from warm to cold that the grass is growing like crazy!!!! I need to mow every weekend, whereas most Spring & Summer seasons in the past I could get by with mowing every other weekend. Of course I'm not really "complaining" cause I love riding my new Gravely ZTR:0) I can't wait until I retire this coming October so that Spring & Summer 2014 I can mow every other day if I want too!!!!!!
