I'll be cutting grass in 2 hours and 33 minutes, and later this week, mower service in December and then continue cutting up to christmas.

Is it not bad for the grass when the weather is so cold cutting it?

Not at all, much colder and I would at least wait for the frost to thaw in the afternoon.

I can say with some certainty that I have done my last cut of 2019. Ran around with the mower set fairly high yesterday to tidy it up and take off some lingering leaves.
Some soft parts, but in decent condition after the year.
Now to get the mower serviced in January and get ready for the next season!

Anyone still cutting?

A little, but mainly to keep it tidy and striped for Christmas.

Normally cut my own grass again middle of January especially if we have a mild december like last year.

Out cutting a lawn for a holiday home right now, striped and ready to welcome them back for christmas

Haven't had the need for the last 4 weeks or more.....seems to have stopped growing.

Looks like its time to pack the mower away for the winter.

Nearly finished my customers lawn, just have to go round the edges with the shears and it'll look perfect. I then just have to do mine on monday.

I cut the front there before the drizzle - had grown a good bit since October.

ShiverinEskimo · 30-12-2019 9:24pm

Got mine done yesterday - just a shave to tidy it up a bit. Decent growth since the last cut early November all the same. Ridiculously warm out for the time of year. Wasn't long ditching the fleece when I got going.

Harry Palmr · 31-12-2019 6:04pm

Might do mine this weekend, I'd like to see the sun and wind get some time on it beforehand.

beertons · 31-12-2019 6:26pm

Thought I'd get out to mine today, alas too late home from work. Off tomorrow though, will get the crossed lines back on it soon.

Just cut mine yesterday, fierce growth in it, can i ask also is there anything i can do for the lawn in terms of preparing over the winter for the spring, should i be adding some feed? ,Thanks.

Bit late for that now. Autumn is the time for autumn feed when the side-shoots and roots are growing more than the vertical shoots. Hold off til the spring at this stage - scarify it in April and then feed it with a spring/summer weed/feed. When the temps get up in may then treat any moss with either Iron (cheap, needs raking when dead) or Mo-Bacter (expensive, eats the moss so leaves nothing behind).

I cut some of mine yesterday - technically the FIRST cut of the year!

Is it too early to cut the grass?

Have a care would you go cutting.manys the big frost we got in February and we still in January.youl be long enough cutting the fcuker all summer.
The only thing to do with a lawn in January and February is stay off it according to the old timers.

I drove by a house one new years day and there was a woman cutting her front garden.
I'm looking forward to getting the mower out but I know I'll be sick of it soon enough

Load of rubbish, if someone wants to tidy their grass then let them do it, with the mild winters we're having grass is growing more than it used to November - March.

Last cut of the year?
