St. Augustine grass

Good afternoon! 

Thank you all so very much for your interest and participation in my blog from yesterday.  I’ve been painting and thinking again, so  here’s another topic that is near and dear (to us and millions of others) – water conservation and preserving our safe drinking water.   There are many things we can do on a daily basis, each one of us, to assist in this important matter. 

Finally, the St. Johns River Water Management District is making a statement about St. Augustine grass and the evils of the stuff.  Here's a link to the article in the St. Augustine Record of yesterday, 11/25/07. 

It's not hard to let it go, the grass that is.  Read the article in full and encourage your HOAs if you have one, to allow alternatives.  It is sinful to keep using 64% of residential water for irrigation.

There are many other websites which promote the use of native plants here in beautiful, sunny Florida.  www.FNPS.org (Florida Native Plant Society), and many more.  Just do a search and let me know if you have any questions.  I am familiar with most of the organizations and sources.
