Mowing in December!
Return to DiscussionsHere it is December 6th and just finishedour last mow of the season and first mowing clothed. Sunny today but chilly. This grand Texas weather and all the rain we've had has kept it growing and us from mowing it. On a sad note as well we winterized our outdoor shower so no more uses until spring.

I mowed here in Indiana the day after Thanksgiving. Had to wear a jacket though. The grass is nice and green and it is supposed to be in the 50's and 60's all week. Might have to mow one more time.

I certainly would have thought ya'lls areas would have been thru for the season months ago

I was thinking about mowing part of my lawn up here in Connecticut today !!!
If I really wanted to (and I don't) my grass could use cutting here in ne PA. It will stay that way until spring

I have to mow every week in December or the grass gets too long for the mowing to be easy!!

No mowing in December here, but it has been unseasonably warm. One day last week we hit 60 degrees with pure sunshine so I decided to put up the Christmas lights naked - a first for me!

I use my lawn as a permaculture crop with some going to the Chooks (poultry for you Americans) and the rest being used on my wicking beds as mulch to slow down evaporation and to add organic matter. Even so I have only a small part of my block which I mow as most is in garden or mowed by sheep.

about every five days in my case Tevita but don't rub it in to those in the northern hemisphere that we are able to enjoy the excuse to be nude outdoors now that we are in summer.

My lawn is still growing in December this year and really needs mowing but the weather is too wet for my mower to do it without clogging up - apart from the fact that I don't like mowing in the rain.Add to that a temperature of about 40F with a significant wind chill factor and I certainly won't consider doing it naked - the way I prefer.

Mowed the grass last week. Will have to mow at least once more this month as the temperatures are back into the 80's here in Florida.

December is dead lawn time in Victoria especially if one lives in the bush on a finite water supply.
So mowing in December is not required our lawn time is about April, September. Also agree with others that lawn mowing is best done nude as with all gardening activities.
