(5,364 posts)Too much noise too early. Grass still wet from dew. It feels muggier in the morning anyway, even if it technically "cooler".
That's just me.

I won't start before that but 8:00 is fine.

(5,364 posts)Hot summers, and too warm for my taste springs and early falls.
It feels even muggier in the morning, and I hate grass that clumps up when you mow it wet.

(53,339 posts)I live in an apartment now but there was a time when I loved mowing. There was an immediate sense of gratification and accomplishment when it was done and that perfect trimmed look was there for me and the whole world to see. And the edging. I was a stickler for that.

Using a string trimmer an hour or two before you mow gives a nice smooth appearance to your lawn. (Always trim at full throttle to prevent the spark plug from fouling).
