Vero Beach, FL August 01, 2012
After serving the Vero Beach community as Deputy Sheriff, Julian Wingate is spending his retirement the same way he spent 16 years before he became a police officer: as a professional landscaper. Living his entire life in the Barrier Island area, Wingate feels confident in his knowledge of the Floridian climate patterns and the specific difficulties they present to lawn maintenance. Along with his son, Michael, Wingate presents Twingates Lawn Maintenance as a full-service landscaping firm for commercial and residential properties.
The landscapes of area homes, businesses, HOA's and condominium associations all present unique challenges of maintaining healthy coastal area vegetation. Wingate particularly calls attention to the elevated threat of fungal infection in the area's foliage. He uses mulching techniques intended to prevent fungi exposure while conserving moisture, aerating the soil and reducing water runoff. Twingates Lawn Maintenance comes equipped to handle other essential maintenance tasks such as fertilization, weed control, and hedge and shrub trimming.
In the 16 years he spent battling the various elements detrimental to area trees and shrubs, Wingate can attest that once lawns are healthy, they still attract the Treasure Coast's insect population in droves. To counter this, he has concocted specific pest control protocols as preventative measures. In addition to his knowledge of local landscaping factors, Wingate has developed relationships with most major irrigation and sprinkler manufacturers to provide comprehensive sprinkler repair, installation and checkups.
Wingate emphasizes a commitment to integrity with the earnestness characteristic of an ex-law enforcer. Fully licensed and insured, Twingates Lawn Maintenance offers free estimates and guarantees satisfaction. Both Julian and Michael hold professionalism and accountability as central criteria of fostering lasting relationships with their clients in Indian River County.

The Tomato: How One Man Nearly Lost His Sanity, Spent a Fortune, and Endured an Existential Crisis in the Quest for the Perfect Garden
Bill Alexander had no idea that his simple dream of having a vegetable garden and small orchard in his backyard would lead him into life-and-death battles with groundhogs, webworms, weeds, and weather; midnight expeditions in the dead of winter to dig up fresh thyme; and skirmishes with neighbors who feed the vermin (i.e., deer). Not to mention the vacations that had to be planned around the harvest, the near electrocution of the tree man, the limitations of his own middle-aged body, and the pity of his wife and kids. When Alexander runs (just for fun!) a costbenefit analysis, adding up everything from the live animal trap to the Velcro tomato wraps and then amortizing it over the life of his garden, it comes as quite a shock to learn that it cost him a staggering to grow each one of his beloved Brandywine tomatoes. But as any gardener will tell you, you can't put a price on the unparalleled pleasures of providing fresh food for your family.
