FALL IS NEAR, PRIORITIES ARE CHANGING
After a long, hot, dry summer, relief has finally arrived with cooler weather and rain.  The irrigation season is likely not over but we have cut back significantly and even shut most systems off during the rain.  We are currently at 21% greater year to date irrigation need and that puts us at 10% over the total used through the full season in 2014.  Hopefully an early fall will provide relief from your over budget irrigation water spending.
With the onset of fall, our priorities are changing and we are preparing for fall activities, including pansy plantings, leaf removal, and fall wet weather mowing.  The change in seasons keep us busy and hopefully the weather stays cool but does not complicate our early fall activities.
