Our screen porch always gets a good dusting of pollen, and then spring showers do not wash it away. So we have to hose everything down.

The dogwoods and azaleas are all in bloom, and the zoysia in the back greened up enough this past week that we’re getting that Masters golf course look. The fescue we had prior always looked great this time of year, but it didn’t hold up through the hot summer. Zoysia loves heat.
