To enjoy your cool season annual flowers longer, March is the perfect time to plant! Choose from blooms like geraniums, petunias, snapdragons, and sweet alyssum. Get instant results when you add a pop of cool color to refresh your landscape plants or container plants. Warm season annual color should be planted one to two weeks after any overnight freezes. Select from a variety of gorgeous annuals like marigolds, impatiens, begonias, zinnia, and coleus. As we near the end of the month, watch for options to add like pentas, lantana, purslane, moss rose, and angelonia as they arrive in stores! Add fullness with size and color in your landscape with blooming shrubs and perennials like azaleas or hibiscus. Regardless of what you are planting, always remember to choose plants with similar sunlight requirements, like full sun or partial shade, and water needs. Bloom times can vary which will create an ever-changing garden, all year long. Annual color needs a well-draining soil. Flower Bed Mix Soil is ideal for your garden area or flower garden. It contains special ingredients that saves and regulates water levels in your soil. It does so by absorbing excessive water when it is plen- tiful, and then releasing that water back into the soil as needed. In addition, Flower Bed Mix lightens soil with expanded shale and coco fiber, composted fines and peat moss that conditions soil. Plus, a slow release fertilizer is included to give your plants a great start. And don’t forget your lawn! To start spring off right, make sure to mow your established lawn. Mowing will strip away the winter-killed stubble. March is also the time to start feeding your lawn. For your North Texas lawn, you may need to wait until later into the month to let the temperature outside heat up a bit more. To feed your lawn in Texas, our fertilizer recommendations depend on if your lawn is new or established. The different types of lawns have different needs. First, focus on reviving the soil with Soil Mender® Turf Mender. Work into the soil sur- face to help with planting new grass and it can help repair damage or bare spots in landscapes. Soil Mender® Turf Mender contains a rich blend of nutritional, aged humus mixed with essential supplements to strengthen soil and sustain turf. And as for your bushes and plants, clean up your plants from the winter season and prune spring blooming shrubs, vines, trees, and more! When you prune spring plants or perennials, you are creating room for new growth. Give your evergreen shrubs a little attention to start the season off fresh. They need to be pruned before new leaves and growth can begin. You can prune as much as 25% of the plant if you trim each of the branches. Spring flowering shrubs and vines can be pruned when the plants finish blooming. Trees can be pruned as a form of maintenance to remove low hanging and dead branches. Avoid

    “Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt.

For that reason many features of a typical list such as flower color and growth rate or final size have been omitted since some characteristics vary greatly over the range that this list is intended to cover. The only two characteristics on this list are for the general form. In the form, "wildflower" is used for almost any plant that is not obviously a tree, woody shrub, groundcover, or vine (even in that regard, many list will disagree with others).

  • Your Beautiful Flower Garden
    Chapter Three Your Beautiful Flower Garden Introduction Whether it’s one planter next to your door, or a show-stopping floral garden, flowers are a bonus of color and texture we can all appreciate. If you’re an experienced green thumb, or have read up on basic gardening in Chapter Two, you’ll know that, rather than insects and diseases, most plant problems are cultural—meaning that if you give plants what they need (proper soil, location and care), they’ll be healthy most of the time. Keep an eye on your garden. Noticing problems and identifying them early are essential steps toward a satisfying result. What follows are common cultural, disease, and insect problems, and their solutions. That’s a lot to cover. We’ll start with general concerns, then focus on specifics for annuals, tender perennials, biennials, and perennials. (Don’t worry if you see a plant in both the Perennial and Annual charts. Some, like verbena and geranium, can be perennial in warmer climates.) Later we’ll discuss hostas, roses, bulbs and peonies. Photo: Pixabay. Perennial, biennial, or annual? Perennials tend to come back In this chapter: over repeated years and expand each season. They may live three or four years, thirty or a hundred.

  • ABSTRACT Family and Nursing Staff Assessment of Alzheimer's Disease in Seniors at a Care Facility Stephanie T. Nguyen Director: Dr
    ABSTRACT Family and Nursing Staff Assessment of Alzheimer's Disease in Seniors at a Care Facility Stephanie T. Nguyen Director: Dr. Jim Ellor Alzheimer's disease is a fatal neurological disease causing progressive deterioration of intellectual functions such as memory, reasoning, organization, language, and judgment (Narins 2005, Moore 2004). Seniors with Alzheimer’s are often cared for by family members; however, as the disease progresses it may become increasing difficult for the family to care for their loved ones leading to the decision to move the senior to a long term care facility (Galasko 1997, Gruetzner 2001). At some care facilities, residents are placed in various units corresponding to the resident’s care needs, physical health, and social and behavioral appropriateness. For the family, a unit transfer is a tangible indicator that their loved one has slipped further in the disease progression. Unit transfers are important transitions for the staff, the resident, and the family. It provides information about the resident’s disease progression, care needs, and how the family has dealt with the disease. Important to this project is how the family responds to unit transfer compared to how the care staff, having had a direct role in the transfer, feels.
