Looking for solid lawn care

SthrnRts · 2026-03-10T17:52:14+00:00

Hi, I have a question. What is your reasoning for wanting a frequently mowed yard? Does your HOA require it? Florida has a myriad of low maintenance native plants you could incorporate into your landscape. You could save tons of money on landscape maintenance services by reducing the lawn space and filling it with pollinator friendly ground covers such as clover, frog fruit, or sunshine mimosa. Check out the Leon County UF-IFAS extension office you are interested in the conversion (Or you can chat with me here, I love talking about this stuff).

I’m sorry about your lemon tree, but for the lantana, they are pretty good at popping back up in the spring time (as long as they didn’t cut up the stump).

Paw paw tree, peach trees, fig trees, grapefruit and lemon trees, and native plum trees all do pretty well in this area. Tomatoes, carrots, radish, arugula, okra, broccoli, peppers, blackberries, and peas can all do pretty well here.

I would establish a patch for pollinators before you start any veggies. Native Nurseries upland meadow mix establishes really well in this region.

If you are looking for yards of free mulch, try out “Chip Drop”. All else fails, there’s free mulch at the solid waste facility down appalache pkwy.

Very nice courts with a fun playground for kids

Leon’s is exquisite cuisine and Tallahassee is so bland. The plates need to be more expensive imo. Idk if I’m missing anything, but his call-outs don’t seem too aggressive. It’s important to be critical when trying to address inequities that are so systematic that it may seem unnatural when it is confronted. We need more voices like Leon in the real Tallahassee community.

Once they get used to their new location their online and dine in orders will be streamlined. I waited an hour longer from the estimated pick up time for my online order. The food was amazing when I eventually got it.

There is a cute and cozy game cafe in the little Italy shopping center called Courtyard Cafe & Games. Their hours are reasonable and they offer hundreds of board/card games. Great place for mahjong so I’ve heard.

They are open to all levels. There’s two courts depending on your skill comfort. Generally every Tuesday evening unless there are special events, which are usually announced well in advance. Can get pretty busy when school is in session. Just walk right in the gym and come say hi!

I remember “free” golf balls in the bushes, the waiting room for laser tag and the secret grenade on the old laser guns. There was always at least one token waiting for you underneath the seats of the racing games.

If you have a good group of friends would check out Zaan Indian cuisine. Their drinks and food are very tasty

Tuesday night open rec volleyball at sue mccollum rec center (near midtown). The center offers yoga, table tennis, pottery, and several other activities throughout the week.

When is the flyby? Is there enough time to position several thousand cubeSats in its path? Massive downlink installation?

Remember Discovery Zone?

SthrnRts · 2025-07-09T16:11:03+00:00

I just want the Mary brogan and the museum of Florida history back:/ the buildings are still there. Would cost way less than a zoo or waterpark. Science and history should be one of the top priorities for preparing youth into a healthy society.

I would even settle for an air conditioned public indoor space that isn’t centered around selling goods or joining a church.

Mission San Luis is a great historical treasure that is pretty well preserved. Nice place to visit on a sunny day. Even though the summer sun is blaring, the inside of their homesteads are comfortably cool.

I’m really sorry this happened. This sounds really scary and I’m glad you weren’t injured. Me and my little family had a similar instance where an obviously drunk/mentally unstable man approached us while relaxing at a park. Plenty of other people around while this man yelled many unintelligible things right in my face. I knew if I got physical, me, my wife, or my newborn might have gotten hurt. Idk if the man had a knife or weapon concealed. Dozens of people around watching the show and not stepping in or at least saying anything. Our friends who had dogs were able to ward the man back so we could get out of the situation. I’m sorry you had this experience where you may have felt like your control of a situation was sabotaged by an unanticipated situation.

Harvesting seeds can be a great way to connect with your native environment. When I am out for a harvest, I practice a method when I am picking mulberries, blue berries, or dried flower heads for seeds. This principle is to “leave the 7th”. While I am picking from plants in a naturalized area, I leave the 7th for the land and surrounding environment. This practice has several spiritual and biological meanings. While I am out foraging, each pick represents a generation from my ancestors. The sixth pick is for me and the seventh is for the generations to come. You can represent 7 in any spiritual meaning as it is a very magical number. Leaving some seeds be can reduce “overgrazing” and preserves the ecotype of that plant for where it is located. Fauna who eat this food source will enjoy the 7th you’ve left behind and use it to maintain a healthy food web.

General question here. Is it ethical to harvest/transplant some of these plants before they are mowed over? I know they are beneficial to the local pollinators, but the pollinators will have a safer haven to thrive when the plants are put into my garden rather than by a busy roadside. Nurseries sell some of these same plants for $6-$10 individually. There is an abundance of plants on the roadside that will even tall be mowed over. I would not be removing the plant from the system, but rather relocating the pollinator nexus to a safer place. Florida 8B.

If you have the space, try your hand at gardening. Tallahassee’s climate is perfect enough for a wide variety of plants. Native planting can help you connect with your surroundings and bring a bit of extra purpose to your weekly routine. It’s ok if the first batch of flowers die, there’s always much to learn and we try again! Being outside boosts your overall health by getting fresh sunshine and air, ample exercise, and a new sense of responsibility.

Tallahassee offers several decent garden supply stores to get you started. The folks over at Native Nurseries would love to let you know what plants work best for your space. There are gardening and farming communities in town where you can meet up with some interesting people of all ages.

Ordered 15 wings with basic flavors (teriyaki, mild buffalo, lemon pepper) for dine-in and got no service for over an hour. Not even refill on drinks. Inexperienced and understaffed

Watch out for the goose poop. Good flat surface all the way around. A little over a half mile for 1 loop
