HEAT!!!

[lawn mower fanatic]

It has been so hot and dry lately!! I mean, I know it's summer and it's gonna be hot, but it is like 10 degrees above the average, and we havent got measurable rain in forever. The grass is SOOOO dead!! It really stinks, because people's lawns dont grow (a.k.a. neither does my wallet!) I would rather it rain for 3 days straight than what we have now!

Here in Southeastern Massachusetts its been just the opposite. This week it has showered almost daily. The flowers are looking great and the grass is still green. I have actually been cutting more than I would like to. When the sun is out its been a little on the humid side and in the upper 90's. As we all know we take what we get and it could always be worst.

Hope your dry spell gets better.

WOW! I wish I was there, but things will change, and there will be times where I'm glad I'm not there. Like in the winter! Haha!

Well I'm getting to wish I wish was somewhere else. You know taxas, permits, population, limited space, traffic, noise pollution and on and on and on...:thumbdown:

Fastback, I also live in southeastern mass. and I agree the grass here is growing pretty fast and is still green!

It is still hot here, and tomorrow it is expected to get into the 100's with a heat index at 110. Here is what the grass looks like---is isn't growing one bit!!
