Upcoming Events

We have two outings planned before for the end of this year. They are coming up soon and will be here before you know it. If you are interested in either of these trips please contact Cathy Oland at 281.758.1340. We will be carpooling and I will be happy to coordinate our transportation.

The first trip is to The Antique Rose Emporium in Brenham www.antiqueroseemporium.com/events on Friday, Nov 5, 2010 for the Fall Festival of Roses. We will leave at 10:00 am. We will stop for lunch.

The next tour is Christmas at The Brookwood Community in Brookshire , TX on Saturday, December, 4, 2010. Those who attended this event last year loved the experience and felt it was well worth another excursion. I am sure you will enjoy it. We will leave at 10:00 am and have lunch there if possible or somewhere else on the way home. http://www.brookwoodcommunity.org/ for more information.

October General Meeting - Companion Gardening


We had a wonderful meeting this month. We talked about Companion Gardening. Did you know that Cucumbers like to be planted with beans, corn, english peas, sunflowers and radish? Make sure you don't plant them around Irish Potatoes and Aromatic Herbs though!! Tomatoes like to be near Nasturtium, Marigold, Asparagus, Carrots, Parsley and Cucumber, but definitely not near Irish Potatoes, Fennel and Cabbage. Join us next month -- you never know what you will learn.
