Message: [QUOTE="toadfoot, post: 2614027, member: 481"] Perhaps you didn’t get the rain we got We lived in Monroe, Wa. northeast of Seattle, in what’s called the ‘convergence zone’. We averaged 58” of rain per year. Our house sat on a half acre with about 8000 sq. ft. of lawn and another 9000 sq. ft. of planting beds. In the summer I needed to mow my lawn twice a week and even though it rained rarely from June to September the lawn never dried out, which meant wet grass clippings sticking to the mower housing. I could usually only mow about a 50 ft. long strip before stopping to remove the wet clippings. Took 4 hours to mow my lawn. Can’t even begin to total the hours spent on hands and knees weeding our planting beds. Our property was gorgeous, 32 rhododendrons, several flowering trees, roses, camellias, etc., but it was an incredible amount of work. Great seafood though! [/QUOTE]
