Didn't do too much in July except let things grow. Three weeks of the month were spent in Minnesota so David worked diligently to make sure the irrigation system was up and running, to insure that enough water landed on the new plants. I was not too worried since Florida typically gets rain every afternoon in the summer. Thank goodness for the sprinkler system because there was almost no precipitation, during our first two week absence! There were a few plant casualties but nothing that can't be fixed with a few replantings. Sprinklers were adjusted then off again for another week.
The following pictures were taken on July 25, a couple of days before leaving for that last week.
The firebush in the upper right corner was one casualty. Half the plant died. Not sure why but believe that the sprinkler was beating it to death. David installed a different fixture and that seems to have worked.
The neighbor across the canal yelled over, "You can do MY yard!" I just may take her up on that offer. The more yards that are drought tolerant & no mow, the more resources can be conserved. 
I'm hoping that the next posting will include the crushed limestone walkway material.Post Options
Taking a well deserved break, David is waiting for me to join him on the dock to enjoy the incredible sunset.
