This just in from Hillsborough County "Invaders Take Root in . . . Your Yard."
Please help our ecosystem by not planting the invasive plants such as Asparagus
Fern, Air potato, or Mexican Petunia. Many of us have these plants in our yards.
According to the county, these types of aggressive plants displace native and non-
native adaptive greenery and can take over our existing natural ecosystems.

Now for things we need to know! Garbage/recycling. Thanks to our neighbor
Beth Iandoli for reminding us about this - Do not place your recyclables inside of
a plastic bag prior to putting them in the blue bin. The bags get tangled in the
sorting machines. Please go to these sites for more information:
