May 19, 10AM--Bangor is up over 15 hours of daylight now. I might as well plan on firing up the lawn mower just about every day for a while if this weather keeps up. 3 nights in a row of overnight rain followed by sunny afternoons has caused it to get way ahead of me. My almost acre takes about 3 hours with the push mower on average. But with this depth, I figure it will be almost triple the time. 130 feet across the front, 180 feet deep. I can't mulch this depth, I will have to bag it and dump it. I plan to go a couple hours a day for the next 4 days. It's 70 degrees at 10:30AM. I refuse to push the mower above 65 degrees LOL! I wait until a few hours before sunset and then I mow until dark. Have a great weekend all :-)
