As there is no specific place for this, I was unsure where to post. I love the smell & the look of a nicely manicured area of "grass". After cutting the grass yesterday it dawned on me that I never cut the lawn. Do you cut the grass or mow the lawn?..........What's the difference?

I mow the lawns in the gardens that I work in. I use a pedestrian mower. My Dad cuts the grass - he has a ride-on tractor mower. Maybe that's the difference.
Either way, it's getting blimmin long, and our neighbour is currently mowing his, as I type! All the best - Glutton 4 Punishment

You need chickens! I looked at my neighbours lawn last night - it's quite long and green, ready for a cut.. mine on the other hand, has been eaten by the chickens over winter

In jest, we "mow the lawn" but in reality we cut the grass. A lovely lawn is not a priority for us mainly because it just wouldn't happen. We live on a farm so some areas of the garden are really field grass (previously grazing), we also have chickens who pick their spot for a dust bath and won't be discouraged no matter what you do
and now and again if the gates have been left open a herd of either cattle or sheep charges through!!

Whatever you call it mine is none existent in large patches. Due to being largely shaded during winter - both from the house, and being covered in leaves, and with increased usage (Bean) it is harder to maintain "green" - even the moss has given up.
I need tough stuff whatever it is. I will gladly cut, mow, trim, shear or otherwise thereafter.A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

One man went to mow, went to mow a meadow??
A lawn is defined as "A plot of grass, usually tended or mowed, " Personally I would adjust that definition to explain that the grass is usually cut often and cut short,Comment

What constitutes a lawn?
Well, it's obviously that bit of the garden where my OH won't let me grow vegetables.Comment

I cut the grass. It's far too lumpy and has too many weeds to be called a lawn.Comment

The only gardening job Himself has ever done is to "cut the grass" and now he can't, he pays to have it done. I would class a lawn as being immaculately neat, that's why ours is grass!Granny on the Game in SheffieldComment

I grew up on a farm and we used to mow the hay meadow- I feel a song coming on

I always thought that people who mowed the lawn were a bit on the posh side and the rest of us cut the grass, a bit like calling your evening meal "supper" rather than "tea"
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment
