Same here in the Merrimack Valley area. I have never seen so many trees "loaded" with leaves this late in the fall.. Also there are many trees that still have mostly green leaves.
Lawns are still growing at a good pace.
Same in here in Methuen....well took only 9 days for sprouting to appear. The lawn continues to grow at a good pace. I expect to be mowing the lawn well in to November. Might rival 2015 for latest mow.
Last year I mowed for the last time in mid November. The grass is growing faster this year than last year at this time. He's going to return to find the lawn needs mowing.
