We. Are. Peoria (Area)

If you have to mow, better hurry. You still have a small window of time before the rains hit. I did mine this morning and it was much thicker than it looked. After this upcoming rain and sunshine it will be growing very fast. 🌧

I mowed the back yard for the second time yesterday. I only have a small path in front and it is mostly in the shade. It hasn't needed mowing yet. Between the sidewalk and curb is all flowing plants and decorative grasses, so no mowing there either.

I have had to mow 3 times so far this year. It always amazes me that the lawn at this time of year is so much thicker than it appears before you start mowing. I take my time and make it look good .

Once a week, whether it needs it or not .

That is about what I do too. Circumstances dictate otherwise every so often.

Mowed again today. Man, my grass is as green, thick and healthy as it has ever been.

I mowed again this morning. Pretty wet. But very thick. Only going to get wetter and thicker. So I saw a window of no rain and jumped on it. Glad I did it.

I got in under the Sunday window, but I should have pushed it and tried for Friday evening. I think the rain will be done, but the heat won't!

It is going to grow like crazy now.

I always mow at the highest setting on the deck. For the last two weekends it has started to sprout seed heads. I'm going to claim it is intentional and an inexpensive way to overseed .
