Tom Atkinson Ours is more than overdue for it but the ground has been too wet - drying out now, though. The grass hasn't stopped growing at all this winter. Likewise. I was thinking of borrowing some goats... far too wet to use the mower. Regards, Martin Brown |

Tom Atkinson Ours is more than overdue for it but the ground has been too wet - drying out now, though. The grass hasn't stopped growing at all this winter. Grass has never really stopped growing this winter here, apart from in one or two short spells of hard weather. IIRC it will continue to grow in temperatures above 39F/5C. A sharp rotary mower set to a light cut will handle wettish grass if necessary. We have outdoor wallflower blooms opening. -- Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. |

First crocus in flower yesterday Some spcies crocuses (forgot which) just getting into flower high up in Wensleydale. Tomorrow I will have to go and see if any of my not perfectly hardy herbaceous perennials need protection, as the forecast for the weekend is for a real cold spell, including possible snow. Franz |
cut my grass today-earliest yet-it was at least 3 inches long. One of our neighbours did a first cut a week ago...I was looking at ours today and thinking it certainly needs one :-( Janet. We cut ours about 10 days ago and again today, not the best cut in the world but it had to be done. kate |

All that happens here is reducing from weekly to fortnightly cuts during December and January -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

All that happens here is reducing from weekly to fortnightly cuts during December and January Not for us, unfortunately. The grass certainly *needs* cutting all the time but the lawns become so waterlogged that it's impossible, especially on the 'big lawn' in front of the house. That is like a sponge and water rises up from it, around your feet if you walk onto it. Later in the year when it's dry, great fissures open up that, on occasion, a man can sink his arm into. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |
