A representative of the Pinellas County Extension has asked me to request residents SKIP A WEEK of lawn-watering while winter is here. Watering on a weekly basis is not essential during the winter months.
I wanted to take a moment and thank the homeowners who have planted winter rye in their yards. YOUR ACTIONS HAVE NOT GONE UNNOTICED AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS! If you are having problems managing your lawn (St. Augustine especially) summer and winter rye are great grasses to keep your yard aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Please also remember that the Pinellas County Extension Service has a plethora of information concerning Florida-Friendly Native Landscaping, which is drought tolerant and requires much less maintenance, money, and time to maintain.
Speaking of, keep an eye out for our Lawn & Landscaping Town Hall. The Board hears many comments on the lawn deed restrictions (pro and con) and yours truly received 2 lawn letters WHILE I WAS ON THE BOARD no less! If you get a letter, it’s hardly the end of the world…there are a couple of ways to address the issue. We’ll discuss the matter in depth and we’re also planning on having a County Extension employee give a presentation on the Florida-Friendly Native Landscaping initiative.

for next year, it would be nice if WLV would promote the dates for the Palm Harbor Christmas Parade and the Annual Santa Ride by the fire department in the Village Voice. This year we learned of them after the fact and did not participate.
