Grass growing like mad!

[micman32]

I was just wondering how everyone's grass is growing? Here it is August in Ohio and my grass is as green and lush as back in the spring. I guess with all this humidity and warm nights and all the rain it's just in overdrive!
The Cub is getting it's work out this season and the oil guys are getting rich off the extra cash I spend on gas
I mowed part of my yard on Wednesday and finished the rest today (thursday) and what i cut on Wed. has grown at least an inch!!!!
Ah well, more quality time with the Cub!!!!!

Same here too. I live in Ashtabula Ohio NE Ohio and I just mowed 2 days ago and it needs it again. It is super green also. Its greener now than in the Spring!! The rain just won't quit.

I live in the south east and our lawns are burning in my particular area.

Located in Western NY.
Last year from May 15 through Sept 30, I put about 34 hours on my mowers.
This year from May 15 through August 3, I have put 51 hours on my mowers. As I write this, I have about 3 hours of mowing awaiting me tonight after work.

It's growing daily.

Same here in Kansas... I have areas that I have not mowed in over 6 weeks, and while they need it, it's not unsightly...

We live in southern Illinois near St.louis. What is rain? Not a word that is used here. We are 9 inches below normal and none is sight. Weird weather the last few years.

It's a little better than that up here in Belvidere, IL by Rockford. Last year we were in your boat. Just about zero rain all summer.

This year has been fairly dry (and hot) but the grass isn't totally fried (yet). The corn and soybean crops look great, tho!

With all the heat and then rain, I have held off cutting the lawn until yesterday. Then I had to go take care of a unexpected request yesterday. Lawn is way beyond the normal height that I let it get. Looks like I will have to cut it twice today to make it look good. Like you more seat time.

I see that some members are stating that their grass is growing fast with all of the rain we have had in Ohio. Well, if your yard is untreated, crabgrass is starting to show in yards around where I live in northeastern Ohio. It is lime green in color, and very thick in texture. Some of my neighbors yards are completly infested with crabgrass. Crabgrass looks like grass, but it is a annual weed that spreads like wildfire in your grass if untreated.
