Who mows their lawn in October in Ohio?

[Marthe48]

my neighbor does, that's who. I imagine they are trying to figure out how to mow in a snowstorm. We had a frost warning last night and another tonight.

1. I do to mulch the leaves.

It's easier than raking for this old body.

4. He cut his trees down

there are no leaves. No snakes, no living thing except grass.

I am venting, ty for your comment :/

2. I do all the time. And I am a real life expert on plants, landscaping, and yellow labs too.

If they are not too thick cutting up your leaves and letting them go back into the lawn is
a really good thing to do.

BTW our lawns are still actively growing now. A frost does not stop that.

5. He mows cuts, lops, weed whips

If he could strap a small engine on his body, I bet he would. I just hoped after daily mowing around me from last March, it'd be over. If one neighbor isn't mowing their golf course sized lot, another one is.

I put my headphones on.

8. "The lawn care ethos" is deeply imbeded.

3. I certainly don't. My lawn is in Connecticut. It would be most impractical to mow it in Ohio.

7. ice can form on fallen leaves in winter.

i don’t need to break my leg again.

also, an autumn mow will help
a lot during spring.

9. I pay no mind to the calendar in Ohio

It’s supposed to reach the 70s tomorrow, so I’ll probably mow again next week. Besides, I mulch leaves, so I’ll probably keep mowing even after that.

10. We do. The grass never stopped growing this year.

11. It is going to be warm and sunny next week so I will mow next week

for the last time. I have a neighbor like that, I have seen him mow in January. He rolls his yard, aerates it
and vacuums up the clippings. Him and his wife don't like to travel, they vacation working in the yard.

[we can do it]

12. I used to to chop up leaves.

13. Just reminded me

Just reminded me that I have to mow the lawn which I have not done since like the end of May or June, lol. I never water the grass anymore so it doesn’t grow enough to cut but now the leaves are falling and I plan to do it every week or so so I don’t have so many leaves to rake it’s going to be freezing though. The grass greened up nicely after 2-3 weeks of non stop rain and started to grow a little bit again. I have to put some fertilizer down before the winter and some seeds.

It has been cold but the weekend is supposed to be warmer I think.

14. I did, last week.

Mulches the leaves nicely.
