We’ve had rain for almost a week and a half, the lawn is turning into a jungle, I think it’s eaten our cats, yet the ground is too soft and squidgy to mow, we have a couple acres of lawn, and I use an old Kubota G-5200 HST diesel garden tractor to mow it, takes me at least an hour and a half when the lawn is _dry_, the tractor’s too heavy to mow the wet lawn, it’d tear up the grass and potentially get stuck

it’s going to take at least a week or so for the lawn to dry out so I can mow it, if it gets any taller, I’m going to have to use a brush-hog to mow it

Go away rain, the lawn is overdue for it’s haircut…
