According to the weather station and rain gauge in our backyard, the rain was intense in our area. With nearly 5 inches of rain, it seems like we will never be able to mow the lawn even if we wanted to!!!

As far as no mow May, it is a trend that is taking off in many locations. Those against it say that it actually brings in more bad than good as rodents and other pests find their way to the higher grass as well.
