Very nice Bitter Blue St. Augustine lawn there...
You need to sharpen your blades as it is tearing the ends,
which leads to fungus and chinch bugs...

Be sure to use a good fertilizer in the spring and fall..
Oh yeah, St. Augustine is very thirsty...
Depending on where you live your watering days may be even or odd
only from 4:00 AM to 8:00 AM...

OK, Dat be a Mango !!

According to the South Atlantic Marine Fisheries Commision that is a gray snapper regulated as a member the Snapper Grouper Complex. Closely related to the now almost extinct American Red Snapper. It's whats for dinner.

In case there is any confusion, I know that never happens, Mangrove and Gray are the same species. They are usually referred to as Mangrove in the juvenile stages when they still have more of a red color and the darker band from dorsal to eye.
