APRIL IS NATIONAL LAWN AND GARDEN MONTH 

By Trey Collier 

April is National Lawn and Garden month! This gives you a wonderful reason to get outside and 

get your backyard and garden ready. Whether you are starting from scratch or are an experienced 

pro, here are several tips that you can use to celebrate Lawn and Garden month in style! 

Consider Backyard Composting - Composting is nature’s process of recycling decomposed 

organic materials into a rich soil known as compost. Backyard composting is an acceleration 

of the process that occurs in nature. It is recycling at its finest! Use kitchen waste (such as 

food or paper towels), lawn clippings and wood chips to provide rich and powerful soil for your 

garden and lawn. Anything that was once living will decompose, giving you endless options for 

composting. Composting is good for your plants and for you! Adding organic materials to the soil 

improves moisture retention. It provides a balanced, slow-release source of nutrients that helps 

the soil hold nutrients long enough for plants to use them. Healthier plants means a healthier you! 

It will also save you money because you will no longer have to buy fertilizer. Add a compost bin 

to your garden and start today! 

Add a fountain - Outdoor fountains offer an easy and affordable way to add style to your lawn or 

garden. The soothing sound of running water will help to create a tranquil and relaxing escape 

from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Transform your garden into your own personal 

paradise! 

Consider adding variety - If you are fond of flower gardening, venture into edible vegetables! 

You will be thrilled with the sense of accomplishment you feel when you feed your family 

fresh, healthy produce that you grew on your own. Beans, squash, cucumbers, lettuce/greens, 

tomatoes, peppers, beets and garlic are all great vegetables to start with. They are relatively 

easy to maintain and will offer beautiful variety. If you are already growing your own vegetables, 

consider planting an eye catching flower garden (try marigold, lupine, daisy or wildflower mix 

seeds). Fruits are also a great option. Apples, figs, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries are 

great for beginners. Variety is the spice of life! 

Go high-tech - Modern technology impacts our daily life. Why not let it impact your backyard? 

There are several innovations in outdoor living that you will wonder how you ever lived without. 

The Robomower will make mowing your lawn virtually effortless. No more back-breaking work 

and labor intensive afternoons spent cutting grass. You simply install special sensors around the 

perimeter of your yard and push a button. It doesn’t get much easier than that! Another product 

worth trying is the Mosquito Eliminator. Gone are the days of tacky bug zappers and pesky 

insects at parties. It is so beautiful that your guests will never guess that it is fighting mosquitoes 

and other pests. The Eliminator uses high-tech black light technology to cover up to 1,000 feet

PLANTING THE RIGHT TREE 

IN THE RIGHT PLACE 

CenterPoint Energy understands that the responsible planting of trees 

is a way to care for our environment and beautify our community, yet we 

are also committed to the safe and reliable delivery of electricity. Our 

professional tree pruning program is integrated into our daily operations 

to help make this possible. Trees that grow close to CenterPoint 

Energy’s electrical poles and lines will be pruned by a professional 

tree trimming company under contract with CenterPoint Energy. Any 

vegetation greater than 10 feet in height will be removed from highvoltage 

transmission line rights-of-way. 

Palm trees growing near power lines create unique issues. Unlike other 

trees, palms grow in a straight, vertical line, with a single growing point 

at the top of the tree. Because of this single-growth point, normal pruning 

techniques are not effective. With most trees, crews are able to direct 

the growth away from power lines using proper pruning techniques, but 

growth of palm trees cannot be redirected. 

If you choose to include palm trees in your landscape, CenterPoint 

Energy recommends a planting distance of 20 - 40 feet to reduce the 

risk of windblown fronds contacting power lines. Consumers should 

plant palm trees far enough away from power lines that no part of the 

tree ever grows within 10 feet of the line. 

CenterPoint Energy encourages you to plant the “Right Tree in the Right 

Place” by thinking about the mature height of a tree and its distance 

from power lines before planting. For more information on safe planting 

practices and a list of power line-friendly trees, visit CenterPointEnergy.

GARDENING TIPS FOR APRIL 

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great many 

pests that die from various causes while in the bag. When you buy ‘loose’ mulch 

that is trucked to your home, you are also buying ants, roaches, termites, etc… 

Spend a little more on bagged material and save lots of future pest problems. 

Keep your mulch at least 4” - 6” below the top of your homes exposed foundation 

edge/side. This will aid in minimizing pests in your home and allow for quick and 

accurate termite inspections. 

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12” - 18” 

back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that is 18” - 24” 

wide around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can grow up next to the 

slab as long as you keep it 4” - 6” below the top of the slab. The most conducive to 

termite infestation are groundcover plantings, growing high against your homes 

exterior or (especially) ivy that grows on your walls. 

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray eliminates 

overwintering pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist the pest onslaught of 

summer with residual pesticides. The fall spray also kills pests from the summer, 

prevents most fungi from occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset 

off to a healthy winter’s dormancy. 

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop brown patch 

in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin and weak in some areas, 

here are some important fundamentals: a) lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed 

control. 

Most important is proper watering: 

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2” rain or more - then do not water.) 

• Water heavily (1” - 2”) for total lawn coverage. 

• In severe drought, water every 5 th day. 

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT. 

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger and more 

drought resistant roots. 

• Less watering also saves you money!!

FULSHEAR HIGH SCHOOL 

NEW LOGO 

On Friday, Feb. 19 th , Fulshear High School 

Principal Daniel Ward revealed the logo for the 

newest Lamar CISD high school - Fulshear High 

School. “We wanted something different from the 

other District mascots,” Ward said. “I think we’ve 

hit the mark.” The new logo will set an identity for 

the campuses noting that Leaman Junior High will 

have the same mascot. “From grades six through 

12, these kids will be Chargers,” Ward said. “We 

are one. Once a Charger, always a Charger.” 

The logo, featuring a fierce horse, with a body that tails off into a lightning bolt, 

was designed by a graphic artist. Ward, Leaman Principal Mike Semmler, 

Oschler Flemming, Fulshear High’s athletic coordinator and Socorro Torres, 

Ward’s administrative assistant, took part in the process of finalizing the logo. 

“This is actually the fifth or sixth version,” he said. “But this one really pops!” 

Ward said spirit wear will be available in May.

LOCAL STUDENTS FEATURED 

IN BAYOU CITY ART FESTIVAL 

Two advanced Briscoe JH art students have sketched, painted and generated 

creative marvels to become finalists in this year’s Bayou City Art Festival. Lia 

Castillo and Briana Creery, both 8 th graders at Briscoe, will compete with 300 

other Houston-area art pieces. 

“This contest is an extension of the adult art show, Bayou City Art Festival. 

This festival brings in artists from all over the U.S. The middle school contest 

was open to Houston and surrounding communities. For our students to have 

won two finalist place in this group is amazing,” said BJH art teacher, Audrey 

Fuege. With history in various other art competitions students compete, this 

is only the second year anyone from Briscoe has entered this contest and 

the first time students will be featured. “We are very proud of our two Briscoe 

students and can’t wait to see how they compete in this festival,” Fuege said. 

The girls were chosen to be a part of this competition based on their creativity 

and detail. When the passion is there, all it takes is a little push from someone 

with a similar passion. “I wanted to share my love of art with my students just 

like my teacher did for me,” Fuege said. Their art work will be displayed at 

the Bayou City Art Festival in late April in Memorial Park, Houston. Article

the Literacy Council! The Literacy Council of Fort Bend County holds tutor 

training every other month. After 12 hours of training, outstanding volunteers

lesson plans, learn about various tutoring techniques, understand the purpose 

of the Literacy Council and much more. Tutors do not need knowledge of

RUOK PROGRAM 

Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Dept. has a computer-generated program called 

“Are You OK?” (RUOK). It is a computer-generated call intended for senior 

citizens (over 55) and disabled persons who live alone and could benefit 

from a daily check. A computer will generate a call each morning, at about 

the same time and the participant chooses a time frame. A voice will ask, 

“Are you OK?” After this, all they have to do is hang up the phone. If the 

participant goes out of town or leaves the residence for any time, you just 

temporarily un-subscribe and re-subscribe when you return. If the call goes 

unanswered, the computer will call back 3 times at 15-minute intervals. If 

there is still no answer, the Sheriff will dispatch a deputy or the local police. 

They will have with them a print out of information on the person that is 

not responding to the calls. This program was established by FBC Sheriff 

Milton Wright, Commissioner’s Court and Ken Whitt (FBC Sheriff’s Citizens 

Academy Alumni Assoc.) in 1998. Many police chiefs in the county are also 

participating in the program and will proceed with the welfare check for 

citizens of their community. To request more information or to enroll in this 

free and very beneficial program, please call the Sheriff’s Dept. at 281-341-

RECYCLE AT THE FT. BEND COUNTY 

RECYCLING CENTER! 

The Ft. Bend County Recycling center is located nearby in Rosenberg 

(just 10 miles away) and accepts glass/bottles and Styrofoam that Waste 

Management doesn’t pick up. Visit the Ft. Bend Co. government website for 

information: www.co.fort-bend.tx.us. Some recycling facts: 

• It takes about 1-2 million years for glass to decompose. 

• It takes 1+ million years for Styrofoam to decompose. 

For more facts on decomposition time, visit http://behealthyandrelax. 

com/2007/11/how-long-does-it-take-to-decompose. 

PLEASE NOTE - PETS ON LEASHES 

It is the law in Fort Bend County that all pets must be vaccinated for rabies, 

registered and restrained. All animals, when outside of an owner’s means of 

restraint (i.e., in a fenced back yard), must be on a leash. For the safety of 

all residents, please use all precautions with your pets and keep them 

on leashes when walking pets in the community EVEN IF YOU FEEL 

YOUR PET IS HARMLESS. If you see ANY animal roaming freely in the 

neighborhood, immediately call Animal Control at 281-342-1512. Even if you 

recognize the animal, be very careful approaching it, as you do not know 

how it will react; if you can safely retrieve the animal, then call the owner. 

Otherwise, Animal Control is your best and safest option. 

ATTENTION! PET POOPS / YOU SCOOP 

Please be respectful of community grounds and neighbors’ yards. If your 

pet poops during your walk, be prepared to scoop and trash. Come with 

a scooper and a recycled grocery bag or anything else. It may not be the 

most fabulous way to walk your pet, but it does show your respect for every 

homeowner and our beautiful community.

SIRE, HOUSTON’S THERAPEUTIC 

EQUESTRIAN CENTERS 

Nothing else can compare with therapy on horseback. Equine-assisted 

activities improve physical balance and coordination, mental acuity, emotional 

stability and social interactions. At SIRE, we see miracles on horseback 

happen every day. The work of our dedicated volunteers helps guarantee 

that children and adults with disabilities in the Greater Houston Area will 

have the programs they need to live longer, healthier, more productive lives. 

In addition to their weekly work in the arena, many of our volunteers donate 

their time and talents at fund-raising events such as our annual Ride-A-Thon 

and the yearly Trailblazers Luncheon. Volunteers are on hand during the 

NARHA on-site certification and annual SIRE Show-Off and volunteers are 

vital to our Clients’ successes at the Top Hands Horse Show, during the 

Houston Rodeo and competition at the regional and state Special Olympics. 

Therapeutic horseback riding creates a bond of success between the rider 

and their horse. Volunteers are their own personal cheering section and the 

instructor is their mentor and coach. Clients become more empowered and 

better equipped to fully live their lives, each day. 

To volunteer, please call one of our arenas and ask to speak with a volunteer 

coordinator. SIRESpring, call 281-353-6160. SIREHockley, call 281-356-
