Miss, Miss, please Miss!

On 3/1 I wrotted

Our next door neighbor is cutting his lawn !

I've done that in the past. If you've let the grass get a bit too
long, it's good to cut when the ground is frosted. You don't churn
the undersoil into a soggy mess and does the grass no harm in my
opinion.



cutting grass during frost damages the plant

yes but getting it then when frozen does more damage plus walking on frozen
grass kills the cell structure causing black footprints in extreme cases.
Simple realy if its frozen keep off it. Thats another reason why golf
courses have temp greens for frosty days.
