Did not know whether to cut lawn, or not, yesterday. Whilst never a good idea to cut in hot dry weather, especially when water reserves are getting low, the grass could grow so long that cutting it might give too much of a shock.
So I cut it at maximum height (3/4 inch on my mower, though would have preferred 1 inch) and removed grass box so cuttings returned to surface. This should provide some extra insulation against hot sun, thus conserving water.
I waited 'til evening before cutting, to minimise water loss through bleeding from cut leaves. Lawn looks good this morning; we shall have to see how long this lasts.
