Well we have had record temps. in the tampabay area with little rain for October.
In fact I skipped a few this week due to the turf was so dry. It was crunching under my feet like dry oak leaves.

I'm starting biweekly service next week. I have a few that I may have to mow, but they're irrigated and fertilized. When are you guys going to biweekly? I'm curious.

I am still weekly this week but I will decide what to do when I am out and if I need to go to bi-weekly on some I will.

Does anybody know of any places that rent rooms that can be used as shops in st pete? Looking for a shop to store some equipment & work on some equipment & sharpen blades.

Most of the self storage units will allow you to rent one and use if for just that reason. I would not run in their and tell them that I am using this as a shop because they may have been burned by other lawn guys but my plan is to go into one as soon as I can sacrifice the money to do it.

I've got a 15x20 at a storage unit that I have as an account of mine. They just have no electric in the units, so I would have to run my generator to power the grinder or any other tools, etc. In their lease papers it specifically says that I cannot use it for that purpose, but I wonder?
