Thank God its raining today.

Finally......RAIN. It is so dry here. If the grass isn't being watered, its not growing. They are calling for up to 2 inches of rain today/tonight. Anyone else feeling the effects.

We are starting to dry up here again too. You combine the drought with the saturation of LCO's in my area and this years gonna suck big time.
That the problem. You get a flood and then go another month without anything.

Yea. Its been drying up here but we got rain last night and this morning and there calling for more. I just hope i neaver have to experience last years drought again, that was bad. -Mitch-

you've lived here long enough to know that is always the weather pattern here for the most part. at least for as long as i can remember (late 70's). maybe god will smile and give us another tropical system. depression, storm, or hurricane, as long as i live through it, the $$$ will come rolling in after!! i have noticed the corn around here wilting bad and the cotton looks kind of sick too :(

That doesn't mean that I ever get used to it:) Last year was very good rain wise. Always showed up just in time. A drought did hit around September and cut the year short and I hated that too. This year is worse because of the customer shortage. You just can't do that big of a volume when you do get rain. I can go 5 miles and see 10 lcos going down the road. Whole families out there mowing lawns. Just incredible:rolleyes:

last year was exceptionally nice. you were cut short last year? i was literally MOWING into november:weightlifter:
thank god, the tiny towns i concentrate on aren't saturated with lco's yet. it does make for some windshield time, but i have my routes planned to minimize it of course. *newusflag*

[TriCountyLawn]

Yeah the rain is very nice indeed, I couldnt get enough at this point. LOL

The lawn season here in SW ohio has been steady so far, lots of 4,5, even 6 cuts on the month. July started dry, but getting a good soaker today, with up to 2 inches expected through wednesday. Had everyone cut on Saturday, took sunday, monday off, so looks like a working weekend coming up!

[K&A Lawncare]

Yes, I had t oskip a week of mowing because everything is brown. Finally on the 4th we started getting rain and it is helping out.

[jpp]

We need the rain here as well. Yards are starting to dry a little. They are calling for 1-3 inches possibly. I hope it rains for the next 2 days and I will still be ok.

[TripleD'sInc]

Well you can have some of the rain were getting down here in Southwest Florida which is normal this time of the year just seems to be a lot more then normal so far. I cant even get into some of the yards with so much standing water. But I still get paid no matter how much:walking:

Grass has slowed some and picked up again a couple of times here.

Full time employees are cutting daily in the Parks and my first year business hasn't had one lawn yet that didn't need a weekly service.

It was just starting to dry up a couple of weeks ago here in southeastern PA, but we got a crapload of rain which flooded a lot of areas as well as major rivers. Even though we haven't had a whole lot of rain since then, my lawn is still growing stupid fast! I find myself cutting it every 3-4 days!! ;) What do you guys do when there's no work because it's too dry? :hammerhead:
