Here’s the kicker: You should never mow on a strict schedule. That “every Saturday at 10 a.m.” thing? Throw it out. Grass grows based on weather, fertilizer, and how much you’ve cursed at it.
Scientists at some university I just made up studied this: grass grows fastest when it’s between 60 and 75°F, with decent rain. So if you’ve had a warm, wet week, your lawn might be ready on Thursday, not Saturday. Mow when the grass tells you to—not your calendar.

Fun bonus fact: The average lawn mower blade spins at about 3,000 RPM—faster than a helicopter rotor. That’s a lot of angry steel blades chopping your plant babies. Respect the machine.
