    Have you started to mow the lawn yet this year? Do you have to wait until the frost goes away?

    It’s a right pain in the arse. Ours hasn’t been dry enough to motivate me to do it since around September… 😆

    The mower would sink at the moment I think.

    you’d need a flymo on ours – a standard machine could well be lost forever in the tar-pit under the grass veneer

    If you cut it now will the frost damage it or anything?

    Way too early imo. Use shock-and-awe tactics after Easter

    It could be time to trim your bush though.

    Cut mine after it was scarified. Quite dry at the moment, so I cut it before the endless rain of the summer arrives.

    Your clematis will appreciate it.

    They’re mown Hyde Park. It’s great riding through at the moment, if it wasn’t so cold it could be spring! Love the fresh cut grass smell.

    really dry but cold round our way atm. We have begun shock and awe on our garden already: strimmed off the first 10 cm and then mown it twice in a week. Actually looking pretty nice compared to last year.

    Night frosts are fine. Many lawns are growing and my machines will be in use almost full time again from next week. Not on the bogs though.

    First cut at the weekend. As long as there is no frost it is fine (think that’s what I read somewhere anyway). Just the other 30m of garden left to do this weekend.

    I’ve got 2-3 inches of snow on mine still, lawnmower resting for at least a month or so.
