Look around.  Flowers are blooming all over town!  With two months of winners already selected, the Town's summer contest for exceptional resiential yard work is growing in popularity.  Winners are being selected according to the overall appearance of their home and front yard as viewed from the street.  Local judges consider creativity and originality in the landscape design and use of flower beds, gardens, bushes and trees.

There are still two months left in the contest, so keep up the good work.  Your efforts are being noticed and appreciated by everyone.  To see our the winners for June, July, and August click here.  Do you recognize any of these neighbors?

 

COMMUNITY-WIDE RECYCLING PROGRAM BEGINS

Walt Tokunaga, Gator Rubbish Owner, oversees recycling container deliveryWalt Tokunaga, Gator Rubbish Owner, oversees recycling container deliveryOn Thursday, July 1st, Gator Rubbish Removal delivered a new 20 yard dumpster to the town for the purposes of starting a community-wide recycling program.  The recycling container, located off of Hickory Street - between the town's lagoon property and Loves Truck Stop - is available to all residents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  The recycling container is divided into three classifications of recyclable materials:  1) cardboard only; 2) paper only; and 3) glass, plastic, and aluminum only (co-mingled).  To help make this recycling program a success, Gator Rubbish asks that no plastic bags be mixed in with your recyclables.  Also, please rinse all items and discard lids, caps and pumps for bottles.  Labels are ok.

HYDRO-SEEDING / WATERING REMINDER...

If you are one of our Hudson residences that recently received the sprayed-on application of a hydro-seed mix for your yard, we ask that you keep the affected area moist for atleast the next 3 weeks.  Turf specialists have recommended the following watering schedule:

Spring and Fall - New lawns should be watered 2-3 times each day between the hours of 10am and 7pm.  Normally 5 to 7 minutes each watering cycle is sufficient.  The lawn should be kept lightly damp.  Water should not run or puddle on the lawn.  Watch the weather and adjust your water accordingly. A good weather / watering guideline is 1 time per day if highs are in the 50's, 2 times for highs in the 60's or low 70's, 3 times when highs are in the 80's, and 4 times when high temps are in the 90's.

Watering in the hot Summer - During those hot summer days, a newly planted lawn should be watered about 5 minutes every 4 hours, day and night.

We greatly appreciate your assistance in this town-wide effort and look forward to the beautiful lawns as they develop.
