Hello CSU, we live at 7500 feet and bought a home that has 2 acres in a beautiful meadow in the Morrison Colorado. Some of our grass in the meadow is thriving, and others are very patchy. We also have a significant amount of weeds in the patchy areas. We have tried to plant a foothills grass mixture from the Arkansas Valley seed company, but have ran short of moisture for a couple of seasons. We would also like to ask you what you you suggest for mowing the grass. The grass this year is 2 to 3 feet high in many places and starting to get seeds on the stocks. When should we mow the grass? Or should we let it go? We do want to do some fire mitigation protection for our home when the grass dries out. Thank you so much for your help, Keith Schneider, Morrison Colorado
