How high do you folks mow? My first run was through I used the highest setting--4" (joke away). I think that's what I used at the old Pit, but it seems taller here. Maybe just because it's a smaller yard.
Tried out the new mower last night (I miss the old John Deere). Cut on the highest setting (4"??). I might bring it down a notch once I get into the swing of things, but definitely want to keep it on the high side.
I did--pretty far along. I was more eager to see sun than leaves. Alas, heavy overcast the entire trip. Warm though, car was reading 64* as I passed the sign welcoming me to the Blue.
I'm ready for a spring explosion the first part of the week when we have temps hitting the 60's and sun (!!!!). Looks like we get manky again after that.

I wouldn't be surprised if the cool high temps of late and lack of sun might make things a little slower this year. At least we haven't had to worry much about watering.
I'm about to head down to Hartford/West Hartford for dinner and a show at the Bushnell. I'm counting on deep summer by the time I get to the Cheesecake Factory in West Hartford.
I just returned from a round-trip out to Shelburne....car showed 62-63 from Montague to Greenfield. 50's east and west. No sun anywhere, rain/mist half the time.
Also, in Hubb country the trees look like it might as well be December.
My new Toro arrived the other day. I just went out to assemble it only to discover they only sent one of the two bolts needed to attach the handle. Hopefully I can find one at Home Depot rather than having to wait for them to ship one.
If I can get it, I hope it dries out enough today to mow.
