When the ditch gates open across the Mesilla Valley the water goes out over the fields and the whole day smells green. Green Grows Outdoors LLC works those valley mornings, cutting grass at first sun while the Organ Mountains still wear a pink edge on the east side of the sky. The routine is plain: mow, run a clean line along the concrete, trim tight to walls and posts, then clear the cuttings so the lawn can breathe. In a place of chile rows and irrigated fields, a home lawn is its own small plot, and it answers to exactly the same attention. By the time the heat comes up over the valley, the yard is finished and it shows.
