I try not to let it get too long before mowing, but if I am lucky I can go two weeks between mowing sessions.
How often do other people mow?

Let the grass clippings fall into the lawn, don't collect them separately. The grass clippings have these benefits when you let them fall:During the summer, if it's been raining, I can't even get by a week without mowing. But, once it's dry, or in the summer and fall, I can get by a week and a half or even 2 weeks if it's dry.
My wife calls the lawn "my girlfriend" because I spend so much time with her.
What do you use to fertilize?My lawn has a short growing season, maybe 4 months. I leave mine long (3.75 to 4.25 inces) so my roots don't get too hot and stress out. I fertilize once per year in the spring, and in fall I over seed with a winter growing seed just so it fills in any bare spots so weeds don't pop up.
Its been a winning formula I learned from someone much smarter than me.

Do you cut your grass shorter for the winter? I am finding different opinions on that.My lawn has a short growing season, maybe 4 months.
