I love the quality of your videos as well as your content. Your music, b-roll and transitions are fantastic. Makes watching grass growing really enjoyable.
I’m in Michigan, not quite warm enough to mow. But instead of snow, we get rain. You’re shoveling, I’m clearing storm drains because the street is flooded. It was a wonderful video. Watching you mow your grass in January makes me smile.
The empty coors light, christmas lights in january, and mowing just because you can makes me relate to you so hard. Thank you for being the guy I look for to justify my craziness.
I'm in northern Indiana and we have had similar weather. I'm glad I'm not the only one to mow in January, only because I wanted to say I have! Great video. Get a snow blower. We likely will need it in May to even out our warm winter!
Ryan my friend; you are not a lawn guy; you are a consummate story teller; keep up your story telling in your videos whether they are for grass mowing or snow falling; very enjoyable; Thanks
I’ve mowed about 2nd week into December only a few times but I know for sure, I’ve never mowed in January and I believe in dormant seeding as long as your expectations aren’t that high also
This is my first South Mississippi winter. I washed my car today and broke a sweat. It was 76 degrees when I finished and went in the house. Crazy.....
What I like about your videos, besides the grass content, is you try to capture the beautiful aspects of living in the midwest; these are subtle but are definitely there. I like that you're getting more into this with your new property videos.
As always, your video is a joy to see. The cinematography, choice of music and the content was perfect. Can't wait for spring. Joey has a pretty good aim.😆😆😁👍
We had temps in the 60s last weekend. I was able to touch up the grass with a manual reel mow and rolled lawn flat since ground was wet. Blew down the lawn very clean and gave it a treatment of some fish fert that I had left over from a garden that I stopped doing. Also applied some of the seaweed/Hume that I bought from your store. believe it or not the lawn is looking great for this time of year here in NJ. Thanks Ryan for all you do.
Try putting down the seed when there is snow on the ground. When the snow melts it is forced into the ground. You can also see where the seed lands. My dad been doing this for 40 years with great results. I do this also on the spots that did not come up in the fall.
Thanks for the winter content Ryan! I’m counting the weeks until we can get out and mow regularly. As a fellow central Iowan, I loved the warm temps we’ve had so far this winter. We are paying the penalty of though. Looks like real winter thru the extended forecast. Snow is pretty and fun if it stays off the streets and out of my garage.
Will definetly try the dormant seeding on the weekend. Thanks for that tip. And a great way to start my day with another vid from Ryan. Keep it up, i love them all..!
great video dude. while i didn’t get to mow when we had 65 degree temps in Columbus last Saturday i did get out and do some yard work. it was GLORIOUS. have a safe winter.
Having it snow the day after a dormant seeding is the best possible outcome. The snow will melt the seed into the soil. I always seeded in fall the day before the first snowfall.
Thanks for this, Ryan. The time you spend with edits and music are much appreciated, and make your vids easy to watch. N. Idaho, here. This is the first winter I've had a snowblower attachment for my rider, and it's been more fun than I expected. I'm getting kinda old to be shoveling, but absolutely have a ball doing neighbors' driveways and curbs with the blower. I've even "Tom Sawyered" a neighbor into running it. Thanks again, and stay warm.
I always wondered about seeding in the winter months...over here on the east side of this great state we got about a half inch of the white stuff. our ground is wet and soft. can't wait for summer...from the east side of Iowa...thanks for sharing...
I am glad I am not the only crazy person out on my lawn in January making sure I still have stripes in my yard LOL. Neighbors think I am nuts though, with 0 leaves on my lawn. But I do have the best looking lawn in the neighborhood.
Must have felt good to lay some stripes in December! I agree with you about being cold that it might as well snow. Back in Buffalo, the snow would sometimes start in early November and last until April. That's just too long!
You put the stripes back in the lawn! Also, saw the Pit Boss on your deck.... smoke on! Nothing beats yard work with the smoke aroma from your smoker going on at the same time. Enjoyed the video.
This was a wonderful winter treat Ryan. Your video production is awesome. I especially liked the typing noise. Brings me back to the old Doogie houser M.D. days of my childhood. I had a January mow myself. This past weekend. Enjoyed every minute.
Sure wish it would snow and freeze here in Chicago until March. The muddy and swampy yard really sucks to walk in, the green turf melts into mud under foot. Thanks for the video, Ryan, it's inspirational!
Your videos and editing are so peaceful and calming. That probably sounds cheesy. But you're informative and pleasant to watch. As for shoveling or scooping snow, check out the Big Blade. It's not a shovel. It's a sturdy piece of plastic, so simple it's crazy. I FINALLY got to use mine today. It's a game changer. It's not for the snows you have to dig out, but anything up to 6 inches give or take... I didn't even even use my shovel today. 😀
I did my fall seeding for Pittsburgh September 14th 2020. I think the birds got most of it because I cant see any of it on the ground. I'll try again with this method come November/December when the leaves are all done.
Subscriber for a long time and I love the quality you put into these, they're so relaxing to watch. Mow stripes one day and shoveling snow a couple days later, crazy!
@@mattdegooyer5870 We are in similar situations but it sounds like your quite a bit ahead of me. Crabgrass is a major problem for me being in California where it's hot. I did so much work last year that I don't want to give up groung on my PRG. Hoping for the best.
Kyle Ogan it gets easier each year. Do the prodiamine is the spring with a HEAVY bag rate, then half way through the summer use the Dithiopere. Matt Martin explains on The Grass Factor. Are you reel mowing yet?
@@mattdegooyer5870 No, I don't know that my lawn can take it. I'm growing in almost full shade. Im not confident I can get it thick enough with more sun. But I keep it neat at 2"
Ya know......I almost considered mowing my lawn last week it's been such a drought without the snow....lol.... I guess I'm not crazy after all 🤣😂. Nice video man.
3 weeks of unusually warm weather here, so I tried a little weed killer in a small area last week. I haven’t really seen a dying off, but dang it I’m still hopeful.
I can feel with you. I love snow. But we don‘t get some one this year. Last winter we had 2m = 6 3/4 feet of snow in 2weeks. That was awesome!!!! Love your videos. Go on like this. Greetings from Bavaria 🙋♂️
Nice job, 74 F in Boston, Jan. 12th I think you'd have better seed to soil contact using an upside-down leaf rake instead of a roller. Try your leaf blower on the snow, and please upgrade your ramp this spring.
Looks sharp, My McLane reel mower is getting sharpened...can't wait to stripe😎The PRG that I dormant seeded in December is already 1" tall in the sunny spots☀️
Yard looks great as usual. Wish I had some time to get outside and mow my lawn, it's just difficult to find the time with the football season still going. Go 9ers!
Nice to see this! Thank you for the huge tip regarding the use of Tenacity and not killing of the new seedlings. I am going to “Throw Down” some “Sissy Grass” closer to spring and maintain the weeds with Tenacity. Do you have a comment regarding the following... It’s been awhile since I read a Scotts bag of pre-emergent, and I recall the directions indicated that new seed has to have at least 2 mowings. So... Do you think that one would be successful seeding with Sissy (Rye) Grass, mow after 10 days, mow again after 10 days, and let’s say another 10 days. Roughly one month later a pre emergent could be laid down. Your thoughts? Last Fall, I over seeded with Midnight Bluegrass, and that took seriously 2 months to take root. It was sooooo painfully slow. I planted the Midnight Blue to get a darker green color to dominate and that breed is great for reel mowing, which I do. Watching your vids, and doing some research, RYE GRASS is the deepest darkest, most stripe-able cool season grass of ALL OTHER SPECIES. RIGHT? Seeing this video, is encouraging me to over-seed this spring and a month or so later put down a half rate of pre-emergent, to be safe. I say half rate because my lawn is soooo thick already, weeds are rarely an issue. Except the crab grass, which I will hit later in the season with Dithiopere (however you spell that) since it has some post emergent ability to kill crab grass. So this year I would be doing the very effective one-two punch as Matt Martin with The Grass Factor has shown, has the highest percentage of kill. Plus, I have never used Dithiopere which is recommended as a change up or rotation of herbicide so that those weeds aren’t immune to the same chemicals year after year. Long comment, I know. I wanted to ask a few questions and offer some thoughts I have as a Lawn Care FREAK. Take care Ryan. Come to Utah again soon, it would be way cool to show you my yard and the 5,000 tulips that come up in the spring.

If you're looking for info on dormant seeding head straight to 2:19
Also, who here thought I was going to be able to mow one pass and then stop?
Right? I was like what???
But.....where is the drone shot of January Stripes?
I’ll be honest I googled sissy ryegrass because I wanted to put down the same seed as you.
Dan K check out Baronburg PRG. I believe it to be the best variety. That’s what I am going to do as soon as the ground temps hit 55 degree F.
@@mattdegooyer5870 thanks I'll check it out
Best in my opinion is the sr4650 from seed research or I like grand slam or pangea as well

January Renovation is officially in the books. S1 fire power activated.
Thank you Ryan for sharing! We are in Northern Idaho. Lots of snow right now! Can't wait till it is melted!!!
Ryan, from mowing to snowing in the same video. The difference a day can make.. Like the Video..
Your channel always makes me feel better.
This is my first South Mississippi winter. I washed my car today and broke a sweat. It was 76 degrees when I finished and went in the house. Crazy.....
This video is satisfying the lawn care addict inside of me. This is My favorite RUclips channel. Thanks Ryan!

Love the shot u went out of back door all over neighbors grey lawn only Ryan dark green ;)
I saw that too
Daam ....the video speaks to me, loved the music and visuals. You are really good at this.
I appreciate it!
What is the name of the song the last few minutes of the video? I like it.
We had temps in the 60s last weekend. I was able to touch up the grass with a manual reel mow and rolled lawn flat since ground was wet.

I think you're right that the real winter is back but that's just how it goes. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for calling it "soil" and not "dirt". You're super talented.... best video to date.
Will definetly try the dormant seeding on the weekend. Thanks for that tip. And a great way to start my day with another vid from Ryan. Keep it up, i love them all..!
Thanks!
Striping the lawn in January ..... LOVE IT!!!
Ryan, i have had good success over the years with frost seedings using fescue in Missouri. Love seeing the Westies in the videos!
great video dude. while i didn’t get to mow when we had 65 degree temps in Columbus last Saturday i did get out and do some yard work. it was GLORIOUS. have a safe winter.
Keep your Snow
Feeding the birds is always nice..😁

No snow blower? Dude! Maybe LCN has another one that he's not using on the beach that he can send you🤣
Mowing the lawn one day, snowstorm the next. Best of both worlds!
Thanks for this, Ryan. The time you spend with edits and music are much appreciated, and make your vids easy to watch.
N. Idaho, here. This is the first winter I've had a snowblower attachment for my rider, and it's been more fun than I expected.

I can tell by that smirk on your face... you were really enjoying the day!! I am sooooo jealous!!

I am glad I am not the only crazy person out on my lawn in January making sure I still have stripes in my yard LOL. Neighbors think I am nuts though, with 0 leaves on my lawn. But I do have the best looking lawn in the neighborhood.
You put in the work, you get the results. :)
I seeded at the end of November and December and now my seed is germinating in the middle of January. Craziest thing ever!
That is nuts
Welcome to the January Mow club! Beautiful video as always, Ryan!
Lawns still looking great.
Great episode and good to see a day's sun on your back. It will be spring soon enough.
BOOM👊 Video looks great😎
I can’t wait to enjoy the mow. Thanks for your channel, you have inspired me.
I WANT THAT MOWER MANNNNNNNNN!!!!!!. SICK. GOLF COURSE PERFECTION.
Great Video. I could easily see Mr. Ward out in that snow storm working on his she shed lol.
Must have felt good to lay some stripes in December! I agree with you about being cold that it might as well snow. Back in Buffalo, the snow would sometimes start in early November and last until April. That's just too long!
Awesome Ending!! I love the snow as well and look forward to winter bc of it, but it also gets me ready for the spring and summer..
You put the stripes back in the lawn! Also, saw the Pit Boss on your deck.... smoke on! Nothing beats yard work with the smoke aroma from your smoker going on at the same time. Enjoyed the video.
Yep I really enjoy the pit boss
Palm to face ..... no don’t mow......lol... you are frickin funny. I pressure washed my paver driveway in Feb 3 years ago in Metro MN
Hi 👋 Ryan great 👍 video great stripes i try and keep mollys dirt down to the to the lowest we have sunny ☀️ spells to day but no snow ⛄️🇬🇧❤️David
I almost mowed mine today but I have to admit I was afraid everyone in the neighborhood would think I was utterly insane so I resisted the urge.
That is not a good excuse! :)
Do it! We are nuts! Ask my neighbors!!!
"Sit by your fake fireplace..." That was hilarious! 😂😂😂

Soggy lawns are not fun
Great video!
Ryans in the yard dominating and 'ol Connor is building a She Shed with a foot of snow on the ground :) Crazy weather!!!!
He said you can't call it that! haha
Great winter content for those who enjoy being outdoors in the lawn. :)
Great video! Really enjoyed that first song during the mowing 👍

Using a snow blower is comparable to mowing your driveway! It's good fun.
I agree
Great video Ryan. Crazy weather.

Yay! Dormant seeding video!
Yes sir ;) couldnt wait for this moment

Great video. Didn't know there was starter Fert with Tenacity in it. You just saved my spring

Ya know......I almost considered mowing my lawn last week it's been such a drought without the snow....lol.... I guess I'm not crazy after all 🤣😂. Nice video man.
I still shovel as well. Doesn’t bother me, good exercise!
Michael yeah i have a massive driveway and still haven’t bought a blower. i like to shovel!
Wow that’s nice 👍
Sorry about your Vikings. Go Chiefs!
This January is so warm my lawn is barely in dormancy.
3 weeks of unusually warm weather here, so I tried a little weed killer in a small area last week. I haven’t really seen a dying off, but dang it I’m still hopeful.
I had the urge to mow this past weekend. Thinking about it.
Excellent vid as usual. Said a record for “yet.” That must come naturally in the winter months.
Love the content mate! Keep churning out that goodness 🤙🏽
I can feel with you. I love snow. But we don‘t get some one this year.
Last winter we had 2m = 6 3/4 feet of snow in 2weeks.
That was awesome!!!!
Love your videos.
Go on like this.
Greetings from Bavaria 🙋♂️
Thanks for watching!
😎💪
Let it hit 55 degrees, I’m gonna mow now. Thinking about dethatching beforehand.
Puts the meat thermometer in the ground to see if it's well done lol
Warm water irrigation is the next step. The grass will love it .
Nice job,
74 F in Boston, Jan. 12th
I think you'd have better seed to soil contact using an upside-down leaf rake instead of a roller.
Try your leaf blower on the snow, and please upgrade your ramp this spring.
I sure did, its not gotten below 40F here but twice might as well establish some thin spots since it always seems to snow in april
Looks sharp, My McLane reel mower is getting sharpened...can't wait to stripe😎The PRG that I dormant seeded in December is already 1" tall in the sunny spots☀️
Enjoy the #sissygrass
Looks like middle of summer at ur house, beautiful!
Not quite summer but certainly not bad for a January day!
Very nice Ryan. I feel like I know you. If I'm ever up your way, I'm gonna stop in and check out your place.
You’re crazy man!!! Haha, your passion is contagious and I love it!
:)
Man that was some temperature swing right there!
Snow. ❄️
Yeahh. ⛄️
We Need Snow in Germany.
Last Aussie 😁. Looking good for the time of year Ryan. 😎👍👍
Great video! I'm envious of an opportunity for some yard work, but we've been covered in snow in UT and loving it!
Yard looks great as usual. Wish I had some time to get outside and mow my lawn, it's just difficult to find the time with the football season still going. Go 9ers!
Another fantastic video!
Thanks Ryan 🤙🏻
omg, I want a drink now
My bermuda in Nashville actually looks like it's about to green up... Just in time for next week's temps going back to normal. 🤦♂️
It's snowing here now. Hugs from Minnesota!
Sweet video! Loved it!
My neighborhood after a good snow always help each other out by shoveling everyone's sidewalks and driveways, so much fun
Nice to see this! Thank you for the huge tip regarding the use of Tenacity and not killing of the new seedlings. I am going to “Throw Down” some “Sissy Grass” closer to spring and maintain the weeds with Tenacity.
