So it's supposed to rain tomorrow and the next few days after that... [View all]

and my while my grass *could* stand to get cut, there are man bumble bees feeding on the clover flowers. So I was thinking of waiting...mind you...even if I left it for a week, it wouldn't be "violation high" lol, but the whole thing got me thinking...

Is it better to leave your grass higher when there is going to be rain so to help with run off (I live on the Chesapeake Bay) and help the bees, or is it better to cut it before a rainy spell?
