What a delightful surprise! Our 5-in-1 apple tree has yielded 4 little apples, and Mother Nature has taken care of all the work with her abundant rain. This is the perfect year to start a tree or a garden. Jessie and I eagerly await to see the variety of apples each limb will bring us!
The feeling is a little like Christmas morning. 🎅🤶🦌

It's not to late to plant a garden...
In the age of instant everything gardening teaches us to slow down and enjoy the time in between. Through the process of sowing seeds in the nurturing embrace of the earth marks the commencement of a journey, one that is not to be rushed. It is a journey of patience and care, where the seeds slowly unfurl beneath the soil, out of sight, reaching towards the life-giving warmth of the sun. This journey, from seed to sprout to bloom, is measured not in hours or days, but in the steady passage of time. The fruits of your labor, the vegetables that you yearn to savor, will not be ready for harvest on the very day the seeds are planted. They require the passing of seasons, the touch of rain, and the kiss of sunlight to grow and mature. Only after the tender care of the gardener's hand and the passage of time will the day arrive when you can finally enjoy the bounty of your efforts. Everyone should plant a garden, slow down, and enjoy the wait...

STOP SCALPING YOUR GRASS!
Mowing your grass too short, often referred to as "scalping," can be detrimental to the health of your lawn. When grass is cut too low, it reduces the plant's ability to photosynthesize effectively, weakening its overall growth and resilience. This practice can also expose the soil to more sunlight, which can lead to increased w**d growth and soil erosion. Additionally, shorter grass blades provide less shade to the roots, leading to higher soil temperatures and greater water evaporation, ultimately stressing the lawn and making it more susceptible to drought, disease, and pest infestations. For a healthy, lush lawn, it is best to adhere to recommended mowing heights for your specific grass type.
While cutting your grass short might seem like a way to reduce the frequency of mowing, it can actually lead to more problems that may require additional maintenance. Scalping the grass stresses the plants, which can slow growth temporarily, but this stress can cause long-term damage and make the lawn more susceptible to w**ds, diseases, and pests. A weakened lawn might need more frequent attention to manage these issues, offsetting any perceived time saved by mowing less often. Maintaining an appropriate grass height promotes healthier growth and a more robust lawn, which can ultimately reduce the overall effort required to keep it looking good.

Here are just 10 awesome things that mowing your grass at the right height will give you.

1. **Improved Photosynthesis**: Grass blades of adequate length can photosynthesize more effectively, promoting healthier and more vigorous growth.
2. **Stronger Root Systems**: Proper mowing height encourages deeper and more robust root development, which enhances the lawn’s overall resilience.
3. **Enhanced Drought Tolerance**: A well-maintained lawn retains moisture better and is more resistant to drought conditions.
4. **Reduced W**d Growth**: Taller grass shades the soil, making it harder for w**ds to germinate and establish.
5. **Better Disease Resistance**: A healthy, properly mowed lawn is less susceptible to diseases and fungal infections.
6. **Improved Soil Health**: The soil remains cooler and retains more moisture, which benefits the grass and the microorganisms within the soil.
7. **Lower Maintenance Costs**: Healthier grass requires less fertilizer, pesticides, and water, reducing the overall cost and effort of lawn care.
8. **Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal**: A well-maintained lawn looks lush and attractive, enhancing the curb appeal of your property.
9. **Increased Resilience to Pests**: Strong, healthy grass is better able to withstand pest infestations and recover from damage.
10. **Reduced Soil Erosion**: Taller grass helps hold the soil in place, reducing erosion and runoff, which can benefit the surrounding landscape.
In summary... the importance of mowing grass to the proper height. Cutting grass too short, known as scalping, can harm the lawn by reducing its ability to photosynthesize, increasing susceptibility to w**ds, disease, and drought, and potentially leading to more frequent maintenance needs. In contrast, maintaining the appropriate grass height promotes healthier growth, stronger root systems, better drought tolerance, reduced w**d growth, and improved overall lawn health and appearance. Proper mowing practices result in a more resilient, attractive, and lower-maintenance lawn.

I need to add that it's very important to adjust mowing height to the weather. I could or I just might write a book about what I've learned in my 33 years in the lawn care business. For me it's become automatic now but that wasn't always the case... wait... doesn't that what you just read sound like the start of a book.

Dear Valued Customers,

We recently encountered a surge in automated, single-ring-and-hang-up calls to our business number, 315-963-3845. To address this issue promptly, we have implemented an advanced call screening service.

Here’s how it works:

When you call, you’ll be prompted to enter a randomly generated single-digit number within 7 seconds.
If the correct number isn’t entered, the call will not connect.
Once your call passes this non-person test, it proceeds seamlessly like a normal call.
We apologize for any inconvenience this additional step may cause, but in today’s technology-driven world, it’s essential to combat unwanted disruptions.
On the downside; Service, Veterinary, and Doctor appointment automated reminder calls must be called to this number by a real person.

Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your continued support.

Best regards,

Doug
