Weekend Yard Work.

R Bedell · #1 04-30-2018, 08:21 AM

I was out doing some spring yard clean up yesterday. Those pesky pine cones needed attention.

I am thinking in about 7-10 days, I will be mowing lawn for the first time this season here in Mid Michigan.

Time to inspect the 50C mower deck and get her ready.

I'm about to start mowing here in western PA as well. I have a few spot in my yard where the grass is getting high so it's time to get the 782 running and put the deck on. It's currently about 30° and we had flurries yesterday but it's supposed to be sunny and in the 70's all week.

Mowed last Thursday for the 5th time already this year. Grass is growing like weeds. I have weeds in my grass so maybe that is it.

Have a great day.

We ran the 2072 and 1811 for over 1 1/2 hrs yesterday. Then I mowed with the Farmall Cub for at least another 1 1/2. I have at least that much more to do when I get a chance to put a bush hog on. Really have a little hay that needs cutting, but don't want to start that considering its past time to plant corn and--so muddy I'll be lucky to get in field by the end of the week (more rain on the way).

I also have an excessive amount of pine cones. Must vary year to year cause I don’t remember this many last year. I’ll be mowing in a week also.

Cut grass for the first time this past weekend though some areas were still wet. Before this past weekend, I have spent a few days on winter cleanup of branches and twigs and running 'em through shredder/chipper. This winter was a rough winter yet there was only one snow plowing.

I just cut parts of our yard and aerated for the first time last weekend in NEPA.

Been cutting grass here in the Sandhills of NC. Worked the garden today. Plowed my corn out with my new cultivator. Planting my tomatoes tomorrow. Cutting broccoli tomorrow also.

I gave the 1200 and 1450 a good once over last week the 1200 had become a winter time resort to some rodent residents got that cleaned out both started up fine got limbered up not mowed yet but weedeated some wet spots where grass always grows faster planning on tilling garden this weekend as I always do the first weekend in may just hope the old western auto wizard starts up every year I think it will quit but it has never failed me (knock on wood)

The weather sure is getting nice in western PA, today is the first time all year I've been able to paint without running heat in the booth. Believe or not a 1,500,000 btu furnace really sucks up the propane.
