No, as the patchy grass gets back to some kind of normality with the change in weather, I thing the mowing season will be extended is year sadly.

Early October tends to be my cut off. As mentioned above, the return to damp weather has kicked our lawn off growing again.

Bah Humbug the lot of you. It's warm, light. What's not to like? Get a decent mower or a teenaged son to do it for you 😉

I cut ours yesterday for the first time in a month. My petrol Flymo gets through anything eventually but it took a while. It's raking up the cuttings afterwards that kills me 👿

I haven't mowed our lawn since mid-july. There's still knackered patches although some bits are up and running now

Hoping for 2 more mows - one to finish the grass for the year and one more to pick up leaves in a month or so

no. there is always a last growth spurt start-mid october. natures way of giving some extra fresh grass to animals out in the fields, before the onset of cold weather.

did it last night.
seeing the weather forecast is for near on 20 degrees during the day for the next week, i doubt it done yet.

think a gardener mate of mine reckons if the temp is above about 12 its growing.

Getting the smell of autumn and new mown grass and two stroke oil (and the sea) all in one bend in the road on a ride at the weekend. More of that please.

(says man who's house in on the middle of a square kilometre of lawn that someone else has to mow) 🙂

I actually enjoy mowing the lawn and wish it would grow more as its a bit patchy since the dry summer.
