A common, very serious error is to mow lawns too short! A lawn should always be mowed at least 5 to 6 cm (2 to 21/2 inches) above the ground. Mowing height should be increased during the heat of the summer. Grasses need greater length to survive the summer heat and drought. The lawn should always be mowed frequently so that a small clipping is taken from the grass plant. Never remove more than 1/2 of the total grass blade when mowing. Removing too much of the blade length at one time stresses the grass and weakens your lawn. Mower blades should be kept razor sharp. The sharp cut will make a clean wound that will heal quickly, look tidy and resist disease attack. It may be necessary to have mower blades sharpened 3 times yearly.

The little girl told her mother that she loved her little kitten but she loved her mother even more and gave the kitten away.

They wanted to thank the community and volunteers for their wonderful support of the school.
