First cut of the year.
Well, that's me been out and gave the grass the first cut of the year, it was about 6" long! . Only trouble with that is it seems to stimulate the stuff, and it grows like feck after it's first trim.

Re: First cut of the year.
I did that 2 years ago. Took 140 barrow loads of moss and dead grass off the lawn. The moss is back twice as bad now

Down here in the south I had the gardener cut mine way back in January or it would have been like a hay field when we return.

I did that a few years ago. Never again, I had bald patches all over the lawn for two seasons and had to re-seed them. I prefer the green moss to the bald patches, so I just leave it now. (I hate feckin' gardening with a vengeance!) My grass has loads of leaves buried in it just now.

The other love of my life had a damned good thrashing this afternoon, Glorious day here so went for a blast round wharfedale, Otley Ilkley, And back through swinsty and washburn, pool in wharfedale, arthington, Up through Harewood, and back to base, Wind made a mess of my hair though, But the cobwebs have gone, Splendid,
