    The weather here is unusually mild for this time of year, it's usually a lot colder. Anyway the grass is growing, about 5" in some places. Should i mow it or just leave it till spring? If i mowed it now, the grass cuttings would come in pretty handy :scratch:

    Mow it now, on a slightly higher setting - unless the ground is very soggy. As long as the ground is OK, and there is no frost on the grass, you can continue to mow throughout the winter if the grass keeps growing. :blue thumb:

      John you can mow now , if the ground /grass is not to wet . I always leave it until mid afternoon on a nice day , then the grass is as dry as it is going to get . If the grass is 5" tall , I would cut on a very high setting . Presume you are using a rotary mower ? If the ground is very wet you can't mow.
