News from the Master Gardener
May is here and the extreme heat is soon to follow. Now is the time to prepare your lawn and garden for those high temps!
- Maintain a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around all plants and bed areas. (Keep several inches away from trunks or stems of plants.)
- Shredded hardwood is one of the best mulches, but any type will work; except grass clippings. They tend to mat which prevents the penetration of rain water into the soil. Instead use them in the compost pile or on garden paths.

Keep the Butterflies' Buffet Stocked
This time of year is frustrating for the gardener who wants to provide nectar for the season's first butterflies. Many late spring and summer perennials are not blooming yet. While the garden may have daffodils, irises and azaleas, they do not tempt a butterfly in search of a much-needed meal.
It is almost painful for the butterfly gardener to watch the insects flit through the garden, hovering over flowers but not alighting to sip. Several inexpensive, reliable annual and perennial nectar sources to plant now in containers or in the ground are widely available at nurseries. Click here to read more!

 Coping with Fleas & Ticks When it's time for fleas and ticks to terrorize your pet and home, it's helpful to know what makes these pests "tick." They can live just about anywhere, but crave the cozy haven of your pet's furry coat. A simple walk around the neighborhood with your pet can draw these tiny fiends indoors, especially during warm and humid months. More than 65 percent of American households include a family pet or pets. Statistically, fleas and ticks are bound to infest your favorite feline or best friend. To read more, click the link above.
When people think of Memorial Day they're often reminded of picnics, cookouts and activities in the park.
But this year, as the unofficial first day of summer approaches, they might also think about applying pesticides for red imported fire ants, said an expert with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service. Click the link above to read more.
