Don't need the damn flowers. I've had to mow the damn grass twice already.

I cut mine the other day too. This is our dry season tho. In a month
or so the rain will start and cutting the grass is an every 6 or 7 day
thing. Fanatics cut it twice a week.

This time of year it will get cut almost twice a week.

Our grass is just starting to green up. It goes to sleep over the
winter, and needs some pretty warm weather to wake back up.

Around here a natural lawn will be "ground cover" (pusley and other
drought proof weeds) from December to about May. Then it starts
raining and the grass comes up. The Bermudas and Bahia will just be
sleeping all winter.

I don't do weeds.

I don't do chemicals and sprinkler systems so I get weeds. The stuff
we call grass here, you would call a weed.
I always tell people, if you want that lush lawn, you should have
stopped in the Carolinas somewhere.

Bermuda grass is a plague here is some places. My grandfather build a
sort of Fresno Scraper to cut and uproot the Bermuda grass on the farm.
Lawn was all BG. Hated cutting that huge amount of BG. No riding mower,
but a reel mower he added an electric motor too. Had to shake my head when
I was reading the farm magazine as a kid and they were touting an improved
Bermuda grass.
