That is your lawn. By letting it grow taller, it thinks it's completing its life cycle, and it's producing seed. I don't have any lawn left to speak of, so I'm not an authority on this... but I've neglected enough lawns in my day to recognise it. :lol:

I found this page that explains pretty nicely why you may, or probably don't, want to let that happen:

Thanks for the help and info you supplied, didnt know it would go to seed that quick, ive raised mower all the way up, I read that the roots are as deep as the grass is tall, and just over a week that is what lawn looks like. Guess ill lower mower a little. Thanks
