ah.. the first mow of the year. It sure felt good out mowing today.

I did one last week over here in Lower Alabama. We have a while yet though before we get into full swing. Not as long as it has been though.

Neighbor mowed last week, mostly dormant grass, I'm still gonna overseed wednesday, I could mow, but it just here & there growth.

I mowed the grass over the septic lines and some crazy wild clover just last week here in north Texas. I am in no hurry to start the mowing season but the Skag won't abide a ugly poorly groomed yard. :laughing:

yes i am in no hurry to start because i know its going to be a long hot summer

Wife and I are heading south in a couple weeks, spend a month or so visiting and looking around. Probably need a baler to get my yard mowed down for that first mowing. And it will probably be rainy and wet for the first week back. First mow here in So. Ohio is usually mid March or so.

I spent several hours behind a snow blower.......
Turf tiger is sitting covered with dust.

Have not had to mow at the farm (East Texas) yet.... but the Bride did mow at the house, she has her own riding mower and likes to tear up the yard ;-) to keep the weed heads down. Will it would just stop raining for a few days.

I agree on the stop raining. It has rained every day for a week here in North Alabama. We are at flash flood stage today and tomorrow

x 3 on the stop raining. Crazy here, I leave footprints walking thru the yard, it is so soaked.

More rain this morning and more heavy rain tonight. Cabin fever has set in.

Same here, woke up to 70* outside and the sound of rain on the roof. Supposed to have thunderstorms this morning then clear later today. We will see if the weather guessers are right.......... for once.

hope the weather guessers get it wright for sunshine Sunday afternoon we haven't had sunshine for 8 days

Been a good while here as well for dry days.

Yep it is now lat Feb and we are about to shake and bake for another season. I am ready to go back to work. I got my Tiger Cat serviced and went through all of my tensioner bearings and idler rolls. My finish mower and bush hog are serviced and ready to roll as well. Just changed all of the fluids and filters on my 3540 Tractor also. Looking forward to a great year.

61* and clear skies today, dang weather guessers got it right for once.

today turned out to be a nice day here also 55 and sunshine, first day of sunshine in 7 days:wink:

Nice here today as well, & predicted to be nice for next several days. Sun being out was like seeing a long lost friend. :thumbsup:

Yep, we had over 9 inches of rain in last 10 days..

Yep, the grass is growing here, once the soil warms up more it'll be a jungle.

Boo- Lived South of you in Fla for about 30 years. I do not miss it there at all.

I have my spring letters all ready to go out next week. We have all of a sudden fallen into a wet pattern here in Colorado which we need the moisture bad. We usually get going full swing with spring cleanups middle march but we will see what weather decides to do. I still need some time getting equipment done anyways so not in a big hurry right now.

You lucky Southerners!! Last weekend we had a big snow with high winds followed by a record breaking 131 car pile-up very close to where I live. Tomorrow night we are expecting temps to fall to around -9. We can’t even see our grass yet with about 2 and a half feet of snow cover. Yes I know—-it sucks to be us.

Going to be in the low 20's starting tomorrow. Hope all my fruit trees don't loose the flowers they have.

Upper 30s for the high today. Low 20s for the low tonight. Mid 30s for the high tomorrow. Then it starts warming up mid to late week next week. Spring has not yet sprung here in North Texas. At least it gives me a little more time to buy my mower after moving to my new house next week. I can't put it off too long though because before I know it the grass is gonna be taking off!

no spring here for next week down to 28 tonight 40 for high tomorrow. starts warming up next weekend :thumbsup:

Ditto, hope the cold doesn't kill off my over seeded lawn.

Woke up to 28* here at Lake Conroe (north of Houston, TX) bird bath was frozen solid, we did bring in the plants from the back deck but hope the trees and flowers that had buds will survive. Blue Bonnets were looking good along the road, hope they make it. My kiddo lives in Chicago and it is 9* there, uggh could not live somewhere were it is colder then the inside of my ice box.

It was 26 here by Cut n' shoot around 5:45 this morning, warmed up to 27 now :laughing:
Weatherman says 49 for high today..... that's still cool, but better than 35 all day long.

woke up to 24 here this morning in Huntsville Alabama. Spring daffodils were looking good now all drooped over. Hoping to make it to 40 today. Another hard freeze tonight. On the brighter side sunshine today.
