I'd go and do it tomorrow, if it was a sensible thing to do. Apart from

first cut to be left until i's very too long, as I use a hand push
mower, and if it's too long, I end up with quite a few stalks sticking
up that just refuse to be cut.

Did mine on Thursday afternoon. A bit higher cut than usual - 50mm. I've
been waiting for weeks for it to be dry enough to cut.

I won't even contemplate how much moss there is underneath all the grass...


I've a big tub of ferrous sulphate, so I can stay pretty much moss-free.
It does mean that the sparse patches are more noticeable, though.

The chap who does my garden treated the lawn to kill the moss last
year. Now there is a bald patch. I preferred the moss!

Over the last few years, since I've tried to keep the moss away
completely, I've sort of noticed that over winter, there is certainly
more bare soil. I find that the patches soon grow over, though. Less of
a pain than moss, IMHO.
