I'm just a little south of Show-- and I'm in trouble too. I have a commercial lawn service spray for bugs and weeds, and put down their stuff to make it grow. With all the rain, the last time I was home I mowed the yard 4 times. First was to knock it down to where I could bag it, second was to chop up what I'd cut down so I could bag it, third was to bag it, and the fourth was to clean up what the first round with the bag had missed. I could fill the bed of a full size pickup to the top of the cab with what I've got for a compost pile. And have enough left to fill a Jap pickup.
