I just measured my grass (yeah, I'm that picky)... it's about 9 to 9 1/2
tall, with the tallest blade at about a foot.

I should be getting my lawn tractor back tomorrow. It has a maximum
cutting height of 6 inches.
I'll cut the lawn at maximum height (6") on Saturday and then whittle it
down to size on Sunday.
I won't be sowing the seed anytime soon because the weather looks like
t's going to be dry... that is, unless we don't get hit with another
hurricane here in Va.

Thank you!
Dave
