Wilting area

There was an area on my side lawn that appeared to be wilting as if from lack of water.  My first inclination was to check the spray nozzle covering that area.  Sure enough, the nozzle needed to be adjusted.  I am spot watering just that area as I heard from my better half, that the rest of the week looks to be dry.

After the rain...

This is the picture I wanted to post earlier showing the results of after a summer shower earlier in the day.  Notice there are still areas where the grass is not completely even.  This is from dead areas from previous years.  They are starting to fill in.

Rained today

Isn't it amazing how great the lawn looks after a nice summer shower?  Trying to upload a photo of the lawn, but experiencing some problems.  Maybe later.

Heat Heat Heat

And I don't mean the Miami heat.  The heat of the sun these past couple of days has caused severe wilting in our St. Augustine lawn.  No rain for about two weeks.  Makes me a little irritable.

Yesterday Heat

Yesterday's heat started shriveling our St. Augustine grass.  It is good that we have a chance to water this morning.  Probably would have watered even if we weren't scheduled.

This is a tomato plant started from seed in March...

Green Everywhere

The Saint Augustine grass has been sending up seed heads.  It made mowing today a little slower going than usual.  Since the seed heads are thicker than the blades of grass, it slightly detracts from the lawn appearance.  Even so, the grass is doing well.  I attribute it to my wife's new passion for pulling weeds and the fertilizer I applied a week or two ago.  It is a product made from composted sludge, a JEA byproduct of sewer treatment.
