From the Editor:

The welcome rain watered the maroon blue bonnets my Granddaughter and I recently planted in our wildflower “meadow”, and hopefully it was a sign of ending the dry situation we are in again. With the cooler temperatures it's a perfect time to apply mulch to help protect your plants from freezes, drying conditions, and sprouting weeds. As you know, all three can happen in our area within the span of a day or two.

Hope you have a safe and wonderful holiday season and look forward to gardening with you in the New Year.

The Brazos County Master Gardeners are finalizing plans for 2011. Earth-Kind seminars, Gardening 101 programs and on site informal “tour and talks” at the Demonstration Idea Garden are on the agenda. Check the calendar at www.brazosmg.com where details will be posted as soon as they are available. We hope the 2010 GIG was informative and entertaining.
