I haven't mowed since mid June. My house is built on an old cow pasture that is very fertile and holds moisture well. But it has gotten so bad the weeds in my yard have started to wilt. I have small green patches around the trees that I've been watering that almost need mowed, but my gravel driveway still has green weeds growing. We needed rain BAD, and we got some this morning ... and we have been without power since then :-( Interesting, like your gravel driveway, I drove down a road in the middle of a suburb in Greenwood today. There were some weeds over 2 feet tall coming through the cracks. The yards were all brown.

I am planning to mow this weekend, if it doesn't rain.

Got that second mowing in last night. All around the concrete drive and dogpen, outbuilding and house downspout drains was green and twice as tall as the rest of the yard (that still had any living grass). When we did get some rain, I suppose those areas got a lot more moisture due to runoff than the open lawn and therefore grew when the other areas did not. I have lots of deadspots in the open lawn where there aren't even any weeds. I suppose that will change next spring unless I get out there and seed it before the weeds can take over!

May was the last time I mowed and probably wont mow again for the rest of this month. Absolutely no rain down here. Corn has died several weeks ago, no mass on the trees and my lake is down a good 6 feet.
