Buff Gardeners
This group is intended for those who enjoy the natural aspect of gardening, and don't feel the need to cover their natural state while tending their plants. This group may be used to exchange ideas, and success stories, and of course...recipes, that have been brought fourth from the earth.

Last cut
Return to Discussionswe are 5 days into November and most all of mine needs cut again. And the extended forecast looks to be warm enough I will do it in my bare minimum to totally bare.
The last month my lawn has stopped growing so was able to do the last cut of the year nude and looking forward for nude lawn cutting next year and hope it is warm enough to do the first ones nude.
There was a discussion on the radio earlier this week about climate change and how its causing a longer growing season in the UK. Cutting the grass in December and January was mentioned as being likely to be more common here.
We had a dry winter here in Sussex, only 40% of the average winter rainfall, over-wintering spinach, chard and lettuces all went to seed earlier than usual. We've had small fruits formed on currant and gooseberry bushes, as well as on strawberry plants for a few weeks now, this generally doesn't happen here until next month. Its as if the dry soil is encouraging early fruiting/seeding as plants tend to when its dry. Oh, and plenty of grass seeds are visible, just in case you want anymore to cut year round!
