With the rain comes the nice green grass so far this summer…and a sh!t ton of having to keep up with mowing three different places!  But hopefully it’ll mean bumper crops for the MIL’s various farmland, so I guess it kind of evens out. Anybody else tired of mowing yet?

I got tired of mowing in about 1984.

One of the few good things about rotator cuff surgery.  I'm hiring the mowing out this summer.

I hate mowing but I hate paying people to do stuff I can do.

Just got done. 95* heat index at 10am. Oof.

I own a lawn and landscape business. Our crew mows 35-60 yards a day.  And I still hate doing mine.

Less than a week apart between mowing. Man it could stop raining for a few weeks.

Corn rows are shaded, dont need any more rain until its time for beans to fill out.

I still spend most of my time in Minnesota, but I'm now making more trips across the border because every time I come back my yard looks terrible. Definitely been putting the miles on my mower.

I'll take that over a brown dead yard though.

When I had lots of free time I loved mowing...

Then we moved to an acreage...

Then we had kids...

... now I hate mowing.

When my kid was little I used to mow trails in my 1 acre front yard for him to ride his go cart and atv around in. He was so short that he couldn’t see over the grass and weeds between the paths. He was fun to watch as he explored the mazes.  Now he’s 12 years old and he’s too tall and etc for the mazes.

My son mowed at noon the other day something came up and I went back out at 8 to finish the little that was left and could tell the difference in where he mowed and I mowed that seems insane to me

Yields will be good but prices are crap

Finally got the first cutting done on part of my alfalfa fields last week. My usual yield is about 90 round bails per year, we got 57 off of just east half of the fields.
Hoping the rest gets done soon.

My basement could stand a little less rain.  But a 125 year old house and three times the normal rainfall I guess I have to expect a little "dampness".

I finally gave in and put the 72” deck under my Compact Utility. Hasn’t been on in 10 yrs. Cuts the mowing time down significantly. Can’t get to ALL the spots in the yard, but it sure makes the open areas a breeze.
