Most of us have seen our new landscaping. Our timing for the installation was excellent in light of the rains we have been getting during the past week. The plants are mostly drought resistant but they are new. The following is from the St. Johns River website regarding "Watering Restrictions" on new plantings.

· Irrigation of new landscape is allowed at any time of day on any day for the initial 30 days and every other day for the next 30 days for a total of one 60-day period, provided that the irrigation is limited to the minimum amount necessary for establishment.
