I’ve got a huge garden and there are many bits of it that are patchy and brown due to the heat and lack of water presumably. However, there are also huge swathes that seem to be growing still and are green. Some areas are getting clumpy which looks really horrid and untidy. As you can probably tell, it’s more meadow than lawn
. I’d like to mow it but will that likely make lots of other areas go brown? I’ve lived here fifteen years and the weather has been hotter but never this good/bad (depending on your point of view!) for this long before so previously any brown patches have been smaller and have recovered pretty quickly as soon as the rains come back. DH says leave it but I’ve just googled and amongst the things I’ve read is you should cut, even in dry conditions, if the grass is still growing (albeit slowly) because it helps with recovery to a lush green grass when conditions improve. Any grass experts, what do you think?
