Well its also rained every day since I asked Farmallmaniac to send some rain this way.........
My place also looks like a swamp........Most plants and stuff here is hot humid sun loving plants, not cooler weather soaking wet plants. If this could have been spread out over the entire summer it would have been great but to get it all in about 2 weeks time frame, is not good. I cut my centepede one time and it was not that it needed it but just to even up the growth and knock out some stray bahia grass seed heads here and there, but even at that time it did not need cutting. This time last year it was thick and lush, this year its short, and soggy.......
Pond is at the maximum level and constantly running out the spillway which is exactly what I wanted.
My bahai grass is well over 16 inches tall and I guess its going to be a 2 or three step process with the JD 335 or two steps with the Ford and rotary cutter and a follow up with the JD. I hate when I have windrows of grass which is what happens when you let it go so long between cuttings, but I guess it would be worse to cut it soaking wet and let it mold and lay in a heap just the same...
We did turn on the AC only because the wife was in the kitchen and it got hot, putting up all the veggies from the garden, so she wanted the air on, but with the cool temps and nice breezes, I would not be afraid to bet if it was not for her in the kitchen canning items, it would not have been needed yet, and thats a rareity in this area this time of year not needing A/C and hardly any humidity along with high temps.
Some say lay sod and it will stop the rain. I say install an irrigation system and it will rain forever!
