	I have a local gardener to do mine. One of my little luxuries as it is on a slope and got too much for me to do. At the moment it is far too wet. Also he will scarify it first because the wet weather has caused the moss to go mad!! :-( :-( :-(

	Too wet to do ours in Essex, it's turning into a quagmire and will want rolling before cutting where even the dog has churned it up by walking on it.

The grass (we don't have a fussy lawn, we have grass) grows so fast in summer, it needs cutting every week. Two sets of neighbours take turns with DH, so they each spend a couple of hours every three weeks, cutting three front "lawns". We look after our own back gardens... no lawn in our back yard.

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 589 Send Message	For once the weather folks got it right! The last three hours a combination of snow and freezing rain continues to fall ... gently ... thus providing a tranquil white floor in every direction! We are promised this scenario - at freezing temps - until Thursday evening. Such Fun!! However, this will not stop me cutting my laun ... dry into whites and darks to do the required deadly deed. Oh, Rugger!

	it's been so wet here that our lawns are now largely moss, especially on north facing areas. .......... and where there was grass, it is all being pulled up by crows searching for food ..... the larvae of the European cockchafer beetle which has become a major infestation, with little control available. It began here about 3 years ago, and is just spreading "like wildfire". Add raccoons and possibly skunks who come along and roll up the grass to get at the grubs ......... :-(
