Nope. Won't be another 3, maybe 4 weeks. Last frost is probably May 7.

No lawn to mow. When we were looking at places here I told my wife I was done with cutting grass

Haven't mowed a lawn in 40 years. My youngest handles this for me, working off a debt. If he starts making progress on the balance I'll find a way to loan him more. Won't be too difficult considering all the rugrats he has running around.

Timing on the first cut depends on the amount of rain but it won't even show growth until the middle of May. So probably June.

My gardeners mow mine weekly, year round. I haven't mowed a lawn in 11 years. For $170 a month for 4 times a month full service on a 16,000 foot lot, why would I?

No, but I have kids to do that so I won't be cutting all season.

Every week, 52 weeks a year, just like clockwork. Proud to say I have carpet-grade grass over nearly 100% of my 1/2 acre lot. It's never looked this good, but it does come with a cost....well worth it though.

Just finished up an hour ago for the first time this year. I have the best crab grass, wire grass, onion sprouts, clover, and chickweed around.

Unlike most I like cutting my lawn. Since I got rid of the suburban home and live permanently at my vacation home with much less lawn, I like cutting it even more.
