Finished up mowing my yard on Friday, April 7th. So first mow is under my belt and we are off into another mowing season.
I spent 34 bucks on 10 gallons of gas for mowing. Today same station gas is up to 3.69. I suppose we'll hit 4 bucks a gallon before memorial day when boating season starts. :angry:

Nice weather here so grass is growing fast. Will be doing it weekly for awhile.

On a related note, does anyone else still roll their lawn? I've done mine twice already. Haven't seen anyone else around here do it. I hate all those little bumps.

My yard could sure stand to be rolled. I lent out my roller and it never found it's way home. My memory sucks so I don't know who I lent it to. :bonk:
What size and weight roller do you use zoomer.

That is the cheapest price for diesel. Around here it's over 4.50

It's 3' wide and I think 24" tall so that's around 50 gallon, 400 pounds. I had a larger one but it pushed my ATV around too much on the hills. Almost took out the corner of the house once.

I haven't mowed the whole 4-acre yard yet but I have used the mower to mulch leaves and hit a few of the high spots. All told, I probably have mowed the whole yard but just not at one time. Going to get serious about it this coming week.

I'm surprised you're not mowing a lot earlier. Being in Texas, I'd have thought you would have started a couple months ago.

Yea, I usually start a few weeks earlier than this but the yard is mainly St Augustine which doesn't start growing until the temperature is consistently above 70° or even 80°. The temperature has been all over the place this year. Some days it is close to 80° and the next it is almost freezing. That doesn't stop the junk grass and the weeds from growing though. (n)
