Helpers are needed Tuesday afternoon to plant the vegetable garden for the fall 4th graders Ag. Field Day. Help is needed at 2 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon September 30. On the 30th the well prepared rows will need to have beds shaped and the transplants put in the ground. Joe Smith Plant Farm has donated the plants.
Someone will be needed to water the plants everyday the first week. Even though it is more labor, if we give each plant a pint or so of water and place it only in a bowel of soil at the base of the plant, it will go a long way in keeping weeds from sprouting. This will eliminate most of the weeding that might otherwise be needed later. A few furrow irrigations should then finish the crop.
We will need someone to scout the garden for aphids and Lepidoptera larvae a couple of times a week.
Jason the Ellis the District Forester reports the wildflower seed he ordered have arrived. If we can catch him and and get the seed, wildflower plots may also be planted tomorrow.

Seed Request for Wildflower Plot - Texas Forest Service
Anyone who has any seeds that are native to our area - or grow well in our area, please compile a list and let Joe know . . .
I have many that I need to pull out and organize.
OR - Maybe we can keep an on-going list here.
ANY IDEAS WILL BE APPRECIATED . . .
Thanks,
Emma

Assessing Tree Damage
Hoping we won't need this web site but if there is tree damage in your landscape this is a good site to review.
