Think of your lawn like a beginner at the gym. You wouldn’t ask it to lift the heaviest weights on day one, right? The first mow is a gentle warm-up. Ease into it. The real mowing season – the weekly, more confident cuts – starts when you see consistent growth and the nights get lighter.
So, for now, trust your gut, trust the weather forecast, and trust the grass. It will tell you when it’s ready. Usually with a cheerful, “Oi, you, get the mower out.” Or maybe that’s just the wind. Either way, you’ve got this.
Now go have that tea. And maybe another biscuit. The grass can wait a few more days.
