I don't know a thing about rye grass but LOL, it sure doesn't look like what I'd picture a N.Y. lawn to be this time of year; looks more like here in Florida! We're still having to mow once a week which I did today ... we've been 15 - 20º above normal temperature wise the past two months. We broke another record today with a high of 84º but a cold front is headed our way so we should get back to normal. This coming weekend our highs are supposed to be in the mid 60's which is more like what it should be this time of year.
