From the Editor;
Our short season of balmy spring weather is about over and summer temperatures are here. With that, water use will increase.  I’ve already seen water running down the street from automatic systems, so make sure you check your irrigation systems and remember that “off” is also a setting. The use of mulch can’t be stressed enough to slow evaporation of soil moisture and moderate soil temperature. Garden smart and enjoy working with nature.
   
The Brazos County Master Gardeners have planned a year that is packed with informative and entertaining seminars and programs so check the calendar at www.brazosmg.com
New to our website:
A section on Weeds in Gardening Resources and the Arboretum brochure can be found under Trees.
We will continue to add new features and information, so visit it often.
We invite your comments and suggestions. Contact us.
