Gardening
tip of the month: “Plant trees unless it is really cold. The third Friday in
January is often used as regional Arbor Day. It is okay to plant trees that are
containerized in the winter months along the Gulf Coast.” Randy Lemmon, 1001 Garden Line Questions with Randy Lemmon.
The next
meeting will be February 9, 2015 at the Cypress Creek Lakes community center.
