One thing that has flourished in the recent wet and windy conditions during Spring has been the grass.

Soil temperatures have lifted despite the inclement weather conditions but in many cases lawns and grassy sections have thrived and the growth has been quite pronounced.

Hayfever sufferers haven’t particularly enjoyed the rapid growth but the wind has also played a part in flaying it about in every which way.

WeatherWatch.co.nz has heard of a couple of instances from readers where lawns are being mown twice a week to try and keep it nice and tidy.

It appears as if it’s set to continue for at least a few weeks yet which sees us get underway for the summer season.

Last summer the growth continued unabandoned in some areas as it was a damp and muggy season but the deep south enjoyed endless sunshine and the growth wasn’t to the same degree as other parts of the country.

How has your lawn fared in recent weeks? has it taken off or been fairly measured?
