Warm Winter in Florida

While the rest of the country was enduring freezing, sub-zero temperatures, and even snow in New Orleans, Louisiana, Florida was buffered from this as we experienced average 70 degree days and even warmer with the humidity. Okay, I'm not meaning to write this to make everyone who does not live here jealous, I'm just giving thanks for our local environment.

We've had a couple of below 32 degree night here in Okaloosa County, Florida, but mainly in the Northern part of the County, not near the coast. These warm temperatures are keeping grasses (that are well taken care of) alive and making plants bloom early.

I heard on the news that the past ten years, the average temperature of our earth has gotten hotter increasingly each year. If this is the case, my norther county properties may become water-front properties some day! No, I'm just kidding. I did not mean to offend anyone who lives directly on the coast. I have many loyal customers who live or have homes on the beach or other water front areas. It takes special care and maintenance to maintain an exotic landscape near salt-water. It can be done by the proper selection of plants, grasses, trees, and an efficient automatic landscape irrigation systems. Each particular design depends on the closeness to water source, buffers or barriers, and other factors.

We are bound to have another freeze or two, but I would not count on too many, which really is that bad of news to most of us. We are always ready for Spring and Summer comes quick in Florida as well as the need for irrigation. As well as the book I provide on this site, you may always contact me or our company at the phone number listed at the bottom of our home page.

Good luck and I wish the rest of the country a short winter and an early Spring!

Happy Irrigation & Landscaping
