But let us pause this charming domestic tableau and answer a question. Is that a hand raised in the back? Who is this Darwinian Gardener, you ask?
The Darwinian Gardener is Florida’s foremost exponent of survival-of-the-fittest lawn-and-garden care. He obeys the county’s summertime lawn fertilizer ban and imposes his own ban through the other three seasons. Plant life that can live with that is welcome; the greenery that needs a hand is welcome to find it where it can.

SARASOTA – The shadow cast by the COVID-19 pandemic’s financial impact – both in the past and projecting forward for the coming new year – hovered over Friday morning’s meeting of the Sarasota County Legislative Delegation as it heard requests and local priorities for the 2021 session.
Delegation chairman Rep. Will Robinson, R-Bradenton, was quick to note that the state could be trying to dig itself out of an anticipated budget hole of between $2 and $3 billion when it meets next spring.
“That will be a challenge for us,” Robinson said.
The full delegation made the meeting in Sarasota County Commission chambers: Sen. Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota; Rep. Michele Rayner, D-St. Petersburg; Rep. Fiona McFarland, R-Sarasota; Rep Tommy Gregory, R-Sarasota, and Rep. James Buchanan, R-Osprey.
