Grass derby’s beautiful but tough on lawns. St. Augustine struggles with the wear; Bahia holds up better if you’re fixing spots at home. Anyone tried Zoysia here? Curious how it handles the heat.

I just planted a row of viburnum where bikes will pass for The Western Ride. Heat slowed its start. Anyone fertilize before planting or wait later?
Fall is good for planting fruit trees. Put them in before the dry fronts start. LVS Tree Farm has mango and avocado that handle our soil fine.
The unit near Village Bakery has a new sign up—looks like a framing shop is moving in. Good to see another spot filling up instead of sitting open.
Big crash on Southern eastbound at Sansburys. I’d avoid it. Roads can get slick this time of year—especially after a pop-up storm. Keep an eye out.
Still hot, but the breeze today is better than it’s been. You can feel the season wanting to change. We’re not quite there yet, but it’s coming. Keep your storm plans ready just in case.
New signs went up at Goodyear on Southern. Clean job, good visibility. Always worth noticing when a business updates instead of letting things slide.
Weather-relevant, worth a look before you go out: Dolly Parton films return to Florida theaters in Royal Palm Beach, Jensen Beach. Good time to check the yard.
If you’re planting any new hedges for privacy, October is a good time to start. Keeps the roots from baking in summer heat before they establish. Simpson’s stopper does well here and grows thick for a living fence.
Not sure who planned Homecoming Spirit Day on the 21st as "Dress for the Wrong Occasion," but if your teen is raiding your closet for a costume, maybe hide the good gardening gloves. Trust me, they’ll never come back clean.
