The summer rains of June have begun! Our gardens are about to grow at incredible speeds as they come out of the stressful dry spring months.
Lawns, shrubs, trees and weeds will seem to grow at uncontrollable rates.
Don’t panic! This rate will slow as the plants settle into their summer growth habits.
The recent rain was not enough to break the drought but was a welcome relief for our parched lawns. While this rain will help to slow the damage caused by the drought it is also going to cause a population of chinch bugs to hatch and begin feeding along the borders of the damaged, brown areas.
Speaking of those unsightly, brown areas on the lawns of Marco. Every April and May, when we need to keep our lawns alive with the supplemental water of our sprinkler systems, the water pressure drops to unacceptable levels to do the job.
