From my personal observations all over Florida, it seems St. Augustine is the 'go-to' type of grass...for most homes/neighborhoods down here.

Which makes some sense, given that it is a very hardy...weed.

I’m pretty sure the large rabbit population in our neighborhood lobbied heavily for this law.

Chickens are omnivores. They eat grain, some vegetables, insects, bugs, worms, small snakes, small lizards, and even mice. Chicken manure is one of -the- most appropriate natural fertilizers for organic vegetable gardens.

For those that like to use rosemary, it is very easy to grow and maintain, needs very little water and no fertilizer. And will provide you with more rosemary than you will ever be able to use.
I was startled one day to realize that there are large beds of rosemary being used as landscaping in the parking lot of Sumter Landing! The one behind the Starbucks and on the other side of the covered parking. My husband pointed out that it's probably sprayed with chemicals though.
