Yes I usually have to cut the grass every 1-2 weeks from around April though to late September. I think the last time I cut it was may, it's just stopped growing, and now I'm starting to get a dead spot in the middle that gets the most sun. Everywhere that is normally green is just dead short grass.

Grass here grows so fast in the summer even though our temperature is similar because it's (thankfully) our rainy season. It dies back in the winter or at least slows way down.

Unfortunately our rainy season has not yet dug us out of the historic drought of the last couple years.

ETA we do not water the "lawn" though, it just does what it does. Is mostly weeds. I do water the food plants.

They do (used to) in my climate as well. The higher part would turn yellow just a week or two before wieltering and only if the grass could grow enough to produce seeds.

Considering the UK and Ireland are famous for getting lots of rain that shouldn't be surprising

Yes absolutely. Lived in London for 18 years, till 2023 and never seen anything like that. Grass was always green throughout summer.

Depends on rainfall but usually it's green throughout the year. Somebody told me that's why need is good here - don't know if that's true.
