Finally, we got some rain today in South Florida! We measured over an inch here at Reef Tropical's office in Key Largo. Yeah! We hope to get some more rain soon but that will be unlikely until the rainy season arrives. The average arrival date for the rainy season is May 20th. Unfortunately that means we are in "Server Drought Conditions" here in Monroe County. Other parts of South Florida are in "Extreme Drought Conditions" according to the nation Weather Service. We have not had sufficient rain in many days and are far short of average for consecutive months now. Click

We hit 89 degrees this past week and our impatiens (flowers) and grass are showing the signs of fading in full sun areas and areas of weak irrigation coverage. The Impatiens hate anything near 85 degrees and full sun. We will be recommending removal soon, rather than heavy watering.
Monroe County and surrounding areas are under two day watering restrictions, depending on your (odd or even) address. Ask us for free help to conform your irrigation settings and let the impatiens go away when the fade in the heat of the approaching summer weather.
