Spring is finally here and yard work is getting done

[MNGB]

This morning was nice and mild was a bit damp but I got the S12 Suburban out of the barn with the dethachter and started on the lawn, then jumped on the 1218 PK with a powerflow bagger and sucked up the debris. Got about 3/4 done will finish up tomorrow boy its nice to be out working in the yard and not wearing 4 layers of clothes. The S12 is an excellent tractor the Tecumseh 12 hp engine just runs so fine and gets the job done

Good for you. I'm thinking about fishing tomorrow not yard work but glad your enjoying yourself.

I got the lawn rolled the other day. Need to get the thatcher out now and go over it, the rake it up and haul it off to the garden for mulch. Darn I wish I had the Ranger back up and running. That is next - after the lwan and getting one more mower clened up and ready.

Mine is going to seed already. It was all torn up from a tree blowing over last year. Got it back to kinda flat and level but not very well covered in grass. So I let it grow and hope to just mow and leave it lay in hopes it replants its self. Not sure that is going to work. What do you think?

Best day we have had all year. 66 with very little breeze. Got the JD65 trim mower cleaned up, serviced and ready to. Been used once already. Got the Cub 1018 out, serviced. cleaned up and ready to go. My have to replace the battery in it. Not wanting to take a full charge and the test showed replace. I have mowed once with my Cub 1862 last week.. All the blades were good, just needed cleaned up and the grass will take care of that. Will pick up small limb piles tomorrow and change the antifreeze in the Satoh. Then I can start on the Ranger.

I let mine seed out in the Fall then cut. The following Spring I let it grow high to choke out weeds and clover as long as I can then cut. It seems to work good.

Never see any seed in the fall here, to dry. Pump my well dry trying to get it to seed it is hard enough to keep it alive.

Seed just before or during the first wet snow. Mow later if conditions permit.

My dad always done this. He would buy his seed then wait for the first snow.

 

[secondtry]

Not planing on buying any seed. Just hoping since I let what is there go to seed it will replant its self.

I did the first mow of the front half of the acre last weekend, then today I did the whole acre. It turned green and shot up out of the ground like a rocket about two weeks ago. Not much budding on the trees, but the old lilac is getting some leaves.
