First cut

I gave my lawns their first cut of the year today. the weather here in Central Scotland for the past number of days has been Great, plenty sunshine and a good drying warm wind which has made the lawns just right for cutting. I was Amazed how well the lawns looked after cutting, so green and lush. after the two extreme winters we have had i was expecting some problems , fortunately none . I have now been instructed by the Gaffer to ( Keep up the good work) and Re-do the Decking.

 

Hello Music
gave my lawns the first cut this week as well . They have not fared as well as yours . I have more moss this year then I have ever seen ! I used Wilkos spray moss killer , which seems to have cut it back quite a bit . I also plan to use a weed and feed ( Evergreen) on it this week . I will have to returf a couple of areas next month due to burn marks from our spaniel Maya ! Does anyone know a remedy for pee burn marks on a lawn ? And no - we are not getting rid of Maya !

 

Chuck a bucket of water down where you see her pee - if you see her pee ... I have read of Tomato Ketchup in their food, dunno if it works or not. But our dogs don't get Chips so I reckon Tomato Ketchup would be out of the question too!

Grow some grass seed in seed trays, then you have "home made turf" you can use as a replacement.

 

Thats awsome that you were able to cut in march.......we still have too much snow here.

 

Yeah, but you are presumably still in the Winter season? with your other season, "Construction", just around the corner?

 

Thanks Kristen , I may keep a bucket of water handy to douse the spot. I'll pass on the ketchup tip, she has a bit of a jippy tummy , so it may cause little "presents" in the house ! I think I need to get used to living with a lawn with brown polka dots

 

I've cut my grass 4 times this year. Since the good spell of weather has came around, it has grown VERY quickly.
Might be time for me to lower the blades slightly

 

cut my grass couple of times this year as well,been bonny and sunny inbetween the howling gales and torrential rain here in the highlands :D
