RAIN, RAIN, RAIN!

By: Terri Mathis

The last several years we have been in a drought with below average rainfall. This is not the case this year!

 

Our normal annual rainfall for NE Florida is anywhere from 52 -55 inches per year.

Have we reached that yet? You bet your wet boots we have and in some cases surpassed it! We had 30-50 inches of rain in 90 days!

 

So, what’s the problem? This should make up the deficit, right?  Like the old saying goes, “too much of a good thing can be bad for you!” This is definitely a true statement when we are talking about our weather patterns.

Let’s take a look at what our weather pattern has been this year. We started off with a mild winter and went into drought conditions. It seemed like we missed spring all together!

So, we go from drought to extremely high temperatures ranging from 95 to 100 degrees for several weeks. At this point we were praying for a tropical storm. Well we got it in fact a couple of them. We went from dry to extremely wet.

At first it was great. The lawns started to flourish all the dry spots in our lawns recovered quickly and the grass turned a very nice shade of green. But the rain continued to fall and fall.

Our soils got over- saturated with water. This means there will be a lot of problems with roots especially ornamental roots.

Here’s why! Our soils have large and small pores in them. Small pores contain water, large pores contain air. The more the soil is saturated with water, the less room for oxygen. Basically, the roots will suffocate.

Plants show stress a lot later than Turfgrass. By the time you start seeing the pale yellow leaves, it’s too late. We can expect to see a lot of ornamentals die from root issues.

Most shrubs can handle a lot of moisture but not floods and let’s face it; we have had some flooded landscapes.

There is no way to prevent this occurrence and no way to save the ornamental. It cannot be explained why some plants will make it and some will not. It may be that some plants were healthier going into the adverse weather conditions or maybe they were planted a little higher in the soil. Its nature; sometimes beautiful and sometimes destructive!

The point I’m trying to make is this year’s weather pattern is out of the norm so we can expect to have problems in the landscape that are not treatable.

Here’s an interesting fact you might not know:

1 inch of rain on a 1000 horizontal square feet of roof yields 600 gallons of water!

Wow! This is a lot of water pounding on the shrubs around the house.

Perhaps this is a good time to look into old fashioned rain barrels!

PREVENT SUMMER PESTS FROM RUINING OUTDOOR FESTIVITES

Bug Out Service shares tips on how to keep pests from disrupting picnics or BBQs

 Jacksonville, Florida July 27, 2012 – They may not be on the guest list, but many pests including ants, flies, mosquitoes and other stinging insects are likely to disrupt outdoor festivities this summer. Bug Out Service, a pest management company servicing North Florida and areas of South Georgia, encourages partygoers to take precautions to prevent pests from putting a damper on summer fun.

There is nothing more bothersome than trying to enjoy a delicious plate of BBQ fare while a buzzing bug is flying around your food.  Unfortunately, plenty of pests are attracted to our food, so they tend to frequent our outdoor cookouts, but there are ways to prevent these uninvited guests from crashing the party.

The National Pest Management Association, a nonprofit organization committed to the protection of public health, food and property from household pests, offers these tips to help pests from ruining your summer gathering:

       ·         Prior to the party, check screen doors and repair any holes.

·         Remove sources of standing water in your yard, including birdbaths, wading pools or garden ponds.

·         Have insect repellant containing an EPA-registered active ingredient like DEET or Picaridin available for you and your guests.

·         Adorn your deck or patio with citronella candles that can help minimize the presence of mosquitoes.

·         With guests coming in and out of your house, make sure the doors close behind them.

·         Plan to serve food and beverages indoors, and reserve outdoor space for eating and entertaining.

·         Keep food sealed in containers whenever possible, and wipe tabletops frequently.

·         Clean trash, spills and crumbs immediately from tables and other surfaces.

·         Bring utensils and dishware indoors shortly after the meal.

·         Rinse all beverage bottles and cans, and dispose of them in tightly closed garbage containers.

If pests become intolerable, you may have a larger problem and need professional assistance. Sometimes, pest pressure can get out of hand. For example, if homeowners notice large mounds of ants or stinging insect nests around the property, they’ll want to contact a professional to help them safely remove these infestations as they can be a threat to our safety.
