Mowing Part Deaux

It is still raining in North Texas. My grass is getting higher. There are weeds I've never seen before sprouting up. The mosquitoes are huge and plenty. My tomato plants are turning yellow and need the hot sun to produce anything worthwhile. Currently they produce these little green fruit that aren't good for anything but chunking at the neighbor's dog. Wet or dry there is no way that my push reel mower will make it through this jungle. It may be time to take the gas powered mower to the repair shop. Then I went to one of my favorite websites http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/lw_landscaping_mulching/article/0,2029,DIY_14136_2272527,00.html
and the DIY folks like the push reel mower for smaller yards.

More rain is expected. The weeds that are currently growing are already too big for the push reel to handle. It will lay them down, tickle them and encourage them to spread their seed.
