Growing fine here in the North West. It did slow down a little while back when we had the really long hot and dry spell. But been growing strongly again for quite a while now
I'm mostly retired... But the 2 big gardens use robots and the bits that dont get cut by them havent needed cutting for about a month. I have one normal little housing estate house (friend of the wife's) that I mow - we literally left it a month - and while it was a bit shaggy, everything easily fitted into the green bin. That is WIltshire
I only cut my own lawn these days and just top it so it's stayed green and still needs topping fortnightly but customers gardens which are cut by lawn operatives , too short in my opinion at the customers request are brown and not been touched for six weeks .
Some signs of recovery after recent rain but patchy with weeds bolting to make seed here in North Yorkshire .
The lawns where I work are pretty much brown and crispy, with the odd patch of green where there's some shade. From a distance most look more like sand than grass.
Hardly any growth in Essex for a month on lawns that are not watered apart from a few weeds if you are lucky
I'm near Penrith, Cumbria and the grass is growing faster than ever.
No growth but that's a win for any contract works, paid to collect dust 🍾
Where I am it's rained once in the last two months and the grass stopped growing a while back and is brown and crispy. At the moment almost nothing is growing. Cotswold soil is a thin layer of clay over limestone rubble and is challenging at the best of times because it drains so fast, but right now it's impossible.
just over a year old this post but its the same again this year, happy guardening even the weeds are struggling
Interesting reading the previous post named, tips to keep busy in winter, there is a post from Harry in 2015 saying,
The weather and climate is worsening, we are getting wetter summers now than we did 20 years ago, I have a number of clients that record all the rain fall, frosts, daily temperatures and snow fall through out the year and have done this for the past 50 years, data shows the seasons are all changing around...
