One of the grounds guys that was hanging around said they leave it long to protect the grass. If you cut it short and then have several thousand feet walking on it you get mud. If you leave it long it protects the roots and keeps the ground covered so no mud.

Don't know if I believe that or not but there was not mud at the first show and lots at the second show with short grass.

I think that is actually true Kevin.
I didn't realize it was so wet there.
I have a 4 acre sculpture garden at my residence featuring over 50 outdoor pieces. I always keep it manicured so visitors aren't stumbling about. But our problem here is not enough water.We're in the third year of a drought.It looks allot like Loveland in March,but by the end of June everything's parched. We won't see green again until late October.Fire is our biggest concern at this point.

Hi Stephen

Where are you?? When can we all come to see your garden?

Do you have a couch?

I am feeling a need for a motorcycle ride, hope you are in the U.S.
