ROFL! Conditions for grass are perfect in our area this season, and we are doing nothing but MOW THE GRASS!! I think you nailed it! ;-D
Yeah that nice lush vegetation does have a price. Here in the desert southwest, I killed all my backyard weeds with herbicide and now pluck the few diehard weeds that spring up once a week. In your area, I bet you could bale your grass and sell it to a farm.
