Despite the dry forecast, with the rain this last week we have turned off most irrigation systems and, unless there is sensitive areas or new plantings, we are planning on leaving systems off as fall rains and the end of the irrigation season is near. This time of year is always challenging as we can still get warm days into the 80’s, like several days this week, but days are shorter and nights are cooler reducing the irrigation need. We will likely see a few dry spots show up if we go a couple of weeks of dry weather. However, rain should return in early October and with our record dry summer and high water bills we think putting up with a few dry spots briefly will be acceptable. We are working to save you on your fall water bill.
FALL IS NEAR, PRIORITIES ARE CHANGING
With the onset of fall, our priorities are changing and we are preparing for fall activities, including leaf removal, pansy plantings, and fall wet weather mowing. The change in seasons keeps us busy and hopefully the weather stays cool but does not complicate our early fall activities.
