The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

28 August 2007

It's a jungle out there

I mowed the back yard Wednesday night, and yesterday afternoon it was already about twenty percent beyond Easy Cutting Height, which is defined as "tall enough to require me to run the electric mower at less than my preferred pace."

If we get the promised rain this week, I may have to spend Saturday or Sunday doing it again. Sheesh. Isn't August the time an Oklahoma lawn is supposed to give up for the year?

Normally yes! But on a year where we get 52 inches of rain you can expect grass to thrive until it freezes into dormancy.

We don't have 52 inches of rain. Yet. (Although we're halfway through the 40s, which is damp enough, dammit.)
