I was just thinking that I've mowed the lawn shockingly few times so far this year, between the heat and lack of rain.

Usually June and July are twice a week or more to keep up. This year, there were weeks I didn't mow at all.

I know it's anecdata, but it's a meaningful metric to me...

I haven't mowed in over a month

My grass is now 100% dead. So we're half my bushes and shrubs at my house. I can't even grow a vegetable garden for the past few years because of the heat, it's just too intense. Even tomatoes don't grow.

We made the decision to not even try watering the lawn this year. Guess it was a good call.
