Anyone cut the grass yet?

First cut tomorrow.
Mrs LL has a thing about buying pansies and any other plants on offer at the local Aldi and sure enough they came with the rest of the shopping today. It’s worse in the Autumn though - when they’ve got bulbs on offer. The inevitable special offer bulbs appear. Been a tradition for the last 10 years at least. I’d only end up digging up all the previous bulb purchases so just end up putting them in the bin. She’s never noticed but I do admit to pangs of guilt.
 
Just gave mine a skinhead, right down to the wood. Only thing with that is that it has exposed the damage I caused to it last year by being over zealous with the feed and weed 🙃

Just opened the side gate to let a lovely lady cut the grass and do some weeding for us. 😎
 
Probably needs it's own thread, but got the old pressure washer out this morning, that's the patio done. Just a million other things to do now.😁👍

Never pressure wash a patio mun. Swimming pool strength bleach and a hazmat suit.
 
Still have not cut mine. It’s an absolute delight to watch all the insects thriving on a lovely day like this. I’m going to leave it get to knee height, then it will get the first cut.
 
Mine’s getting done again tomorrow. I’m up north for most of next week so if I don’t get it done before I go it’ll play on my mind. And it’s grown quite a bit especially out the back. All over it after work tomorrow.
 
A twenty quid drum of hypochlorite or three hours putting my back out? I can live with the garden smelling like ICI for a few days.
Do you use the 14/15% stuff - or the industrial shock restricted killer swimming pool stuff Coops? I ask as I've never had the courage for the latter but a builder told me that's what would make my 27 year old stones look like new. Not sure I'd ever have the guts. The 'milder' stuff made an old rugby shirt an 'interesting' colour with a little wind spray, s I'd be scared for the grass and shrubs in the vicinity.

Get a hired hand in to do this sort of stuff? Its less hassle at our time of life 😎
