I might've slept through parts of Colorin' class when I was a tyke, but I'm pretty sure grass is supposed to be green. I mean, how can it be greener on the other side if it's not your basic green to start with? Hmmm....
For those outside the area, the good Lord has been holding back on the liquid sunshine lately. When you can't remember the last time it rained, you've gotta bust out your wallet or the ol' Crayolas if you're looking so see something green.
And this is a good time to discuss lawn care- and how tenants can do their part in keeping lawns looking their best in the worst of dry seasons. Seminole County provides a good bit of instruction in the form of videos and handouts that are absolutely free and absolutely valuable.
The above link may be used to take you to Seminole County's information on the Nine Principles of Florida-Friendly Landscaping:
1. Right plant, right place
2. Water efficiently
3. Fertilize appropriately
4. Mulch matters
5. Attract wildlife
6. Manage yard pests responsibly
7. Recycle yard waste
8. Reduce stormwater runoff
9. Protect the waterfront
These are great principles for all to learn and use year-round, and are critical to learn and apply during dry times like we're experiencing now.
