HERB GARDEN 

Plans are well underway for the new herb garden at Park Cypress Park. It will be great 

to have gardens in two places this season! Volunteers are still needed at both Desert 

Ivy and Park Cypress. Several people have indicated an interest but failed to provide 

contact information. If you are interested please contact me directly at 281-578-1289. If 

you previously indicated your interest and have not heard from me it probably means I lost 

your information. I still want your help so please contact me at the above number. Looking 

forward to a good season of healthy, tasty meals! 

BLUEBONNETS AND WILDFLOWERS 

Bluebonnets and wildflowers bloom on their own time schedule. With the warm weather 

and recent rains, they should be popping out soon! A Green Trails neighborhood get 

together will be held when the bluebonnets make their appearance. Please watch for signs 

announcing the date, time and location of the get together. Information will also be posted 

on the Green Trails Neighborhood facebook page. 

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED 

If you have an hour to spare each month to help improve your neighborhood, consider 

volunteering for one of the following committees: Architectural Review, Community Events, 

Finance, Landscape, Parks Pools, Security, Swim Team or Tennis. For more information, 

contact Heather Esteban with Crest Management at 281-579-0761.

MOSQUITO CONTROL 

Green Trails II has a mosquito control contract with Excalibur Mosquito 

Control, but you can help, too. The best mosquito control program includes 

removal of breeding sites. Check your yards and correct these problem 

areas: 

1. Bowl planters, pots, water dishes and birdbaths, which can hold dampness 

or water. 

2. Stopped up gutters or standing water in gutters. 

3. Remove moisture holding pine needles from roof valleys and piles around 

house. 

4. Don’t over water your yard. If water stands for more than 20 minutes after 

watering, you are over watering. 

5. Monitor standing water under decks and around pools or spas. Spray 

under deck with garden-variety insecticide regularly or install a drain. Plastic 

under decks holds water, so try to eliminate it. 

DOGGIE DON’TS 

Most of our dog owners are responsible, using a leash and picking up after 

your pets. We thank you! 

HOWEVER - We have received reports of dog owners allowing their dogs 

to defecate and urinate in yards. This is especially a problem in high-traffic 

areas near park entrances. Be aware that it is not just your dog. Once a yard 

has been “used,” other dogs want to do so as well. A resident should not 

have to pick up after even one dog, much less ten. In addition, runners and 

walkers in our parks don’t enjoy dodging excrement. Please carry a bag and 

pick up after your pet. 

Remember also, that even the sweetest dog may seem intimidating to some 

people. Respect their rights and comply with leash laws. 

WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY LAWN? 

If you have spots in your yard that are yellowing or dying, be sure you are 

treating the right problem. Chinch bugs, Brown Patch and Take-all Root Rot 

fungus are all possible causes. 

Chinch bugs can be a problem when the weather is hot and dry. Keep 

lawns properly watered. Excess nitrogen fertilizer makes the lawn more 

susceptible to chinch bugs. A few chinch bugs are normal, but large brown 

areas, especially near pavement, need attention. To check for cinch bugs, 

cut a plug of half-dead, half-alive grass and submerge in water. Chinch bugs 

(black bodies, white wings) will float. Even if bugs are present, keeping the 

area well-watered may keep the grass from turning brown. You can apply a 

solution purchased from a lawn/garden store to help control them.

Brown patch thrives in warm, humid environments, especially as nights get 

cooler. It can cause patches of your lawn to turn brown, wilt and dry up. If you 

pull on a clump, the blades will break off, leaving the runners. Turf affected by 

Brown Patch will grow back, usually from the middle of the area out leaving 

a round ring just before it rebounds completely. 

Brown Patch often appears in turf, which is high in nitrogen and overfertilized. 

Large amounts of grass clippings left on the yard may also 

encourage fungus. 

Wet soil also encourages fungus. If you irrigate, do so late at night, just 

before and at daybreak - not in the evening or just after dark. Be sure your 

yard drains and does not hold standing water. 

Consult your garden center or the internet for fungicide suggestions. Two or 

three treatments may be needed during a growing season. One suggested 

organic treatment for brown patch: Mix one TBSP baking soda, one TBSP 

corn oil and one gallon water. Spray a light mist of the solution to your lawn.

In order for fungicides and fertilizers to work, you will need to test the PH of 

your soil. Lawns need to have a PH which measures 6.5 - 7.0. You can use 

a PH test kit or a PH soil probe.

Take-all Root Rot Fungus attacks both St. Augustine and Bermuda lawns 

stressed by too much or too little water. If you pull on a clump of brown grass, 

it will lift easily - roots and all. It can appear in hot weather, unlike Brown Patch 

fungus which usually appears when nights are cooler. For more information on 

identification and treatment, go to www.plantanswers.com/root_rot_fungus. 

htm. Part of this information is from www.bugspray.com/article/fungus. 

WATERING TIPS 

Conserve water; water only when needed. Your goal should be 1 to 1 1/2 

inches per week. Less frequent, deeper watering encourages deeper root 

growth and helps your yard endure dry spells. Adjust your irrigation so that 

it does not spray paved areas or run off over curbs. Consider running two 

shorter cycles to allow water to soak in. Avoid watering during the hottest part 

of the day; you will lose more water to evaporation. 

For more tips see http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/newsletters/hortupdate/2011/ 

apr/water.html or www.ktrh.com/pages/gardenline-watering.html. Comply with 

any water restrictions set by our MUD districts. 

Remember to apply and get ARC approval before doing work that affects the 

exterior appearance of your house or yard. This includes replacing fences, 

repainting (even the same color) and re-roofing. Approval can take up to one 

month, so plan ahead. For details, see the website, www.greentrailstwo.com 

or call Crest Management at 281-579-0761.

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!!

Nottingham Country 

Elementary School 

NOTTINGHAM COUNTRY 

ELEMENTARY CARNIVAL 

The 2016 Nottingham Country Elementary (NCE) Carnival is coming on 

April 8 th , from 5 PM-8:30 PM. Everyone is invited, free of charge, to “travel 

around the world in a day!” The event will celebrate diversity, which is NCE’s 

theme for the 2015-2016 school year and will be sprinkled with aerospace 

references, because no one can appreciate the unity of humanity better than 

an astronaut! 

Carnival is one of two annual fundraisers for NCE and typically attracts 

thousands of Katy residents and their families. It will take place at the NCE 

campus, 20500 Kingsland Blvd. Katy, Texas. Entertainment will include many 

games and rides, including the return of the Gmax (by popular demand) 

and the introduction of The Big Baller, a giant obstacle course featuring four 

huge, red, inflatable balls surrounded by a blue ball pit resembling a moat 

filled with water. In the food and beverage department, NCE will be offering a 

sampling of culinary delights from around the world! Chick-Fil-A also returns 

this year, along with the Chick-Fil-A cow. Pizza and Tutti Frutti for dessert 

also will be available. 

Young attendees will enjoy the Petting Zoo and Trackless Train and every 

guest can replenish their supplies of gear at the Carnival General Store. Kids 

of all ages can capture photos with their friends in the Photo Booth. Kids are 

invited to wear multi-cultural attire to the Carnival - as a reminder to everyone 

that diversity is interesting and beautiful! Everyone is encouraged to wear 

their dancing shoes (sneakers count) and participate in our Carnival Dance 

Contest. Prizes for 1 st and 2 nd place will be awarded! 

Don’t forget the Silent Auction, bound to tantalize with themed baskets from 

each NCE class, as well as parties and the ever-popular 5 th grade basketball 

game. Previous auctions have included a weekend getaway in a Galveston 

condo! Stay tuned to NCE’s Facebook page for details on this year’s auction 

items! Volunteers from Taylor High School will be lending a helping hand 

to this year’s event and many local businesses have shown their support 

of NCE by sponsoring this year’s Carnival. All sponsorship dollars are 

applied toward purchases to improve the school. This year’s Carnival will be 

absolutely out of this world. We’ll see you…out there!

JAMES E. TAYLOR HIGH SCHOOL 

KEY CLUB HOSTED 

INTERNATIONAL DINNER 

On January 15, 2016, the James E. Taylor High School Key Club hosted a 

buffet-style international dinner (INDIE for short) in collaboration with several 

other cultural clubs (International Cultural Society, Chinese and Japanese 

Club, German Club and South Asian Students Association.) Several local 

businesses made donations to provide for the dinner and the raffle that also 

took place. Tickets were sold separately for the dinner and raffle and due 

to the large amount of attendees, the total profit amounted to $973.67. This 

profit will be donated to aid the 4 million Syrian refugees who have lost their 

homes due to Civil War, not as an effort to encourage Syrian immigration to 

America, but rather to help a humanitarian cause and provide clean water, 

food, shelter, clothing, etc. to the innocent. INDIE was successful in providing 

a vast array of international foods to attendees while raising an a mountable 

sum for a just cause and it has hopefully marked the beginning of a selfless 

tradition that will be continued for years to come.

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

HOUSTON CHILDREN’S CHARITY 

Join a group of people dedicated to improving the lives of children. If you 

are searching for a good cause to lend a hand to, you need look no further. 

Houston Children’s Charity is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated 

to improving the quality of life for underprivileged, abused and disabled 

children who have been otherwise left behind. The scope of our support is 

limited only by the availability of resources. Our goal, the rainbow that we 

chase, is to leave no legitimate request for assistance unanswered. 

Do you have the time and desire to volunteer to help a great cause? We are 

always in need of volunteers to help throughout the year. This is a great way 

for school age kids to get in community service hours. Do you have gently 

used children’s clothing, shoes and jackets? At Houston Children’s Charity 

we are setting up the “HCC Closet.” All of the items donated will be given to 

children - not sold at a retail store. Please contact our office at 713-524-2878 

or visit our website www.houstonchildrenscharity.org for more information on 

our organization. 

STANDUP FOR KIDS 

How would you feel if you saved a kid’s life? StandUp For Kids is an all 

volunteer organization dedicated to saving the lives of at-risk and homeless 

kids through volunteer outreach efforts. Our volunteers search the streets in 

order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and street kids improve 

their lives. Every day throughout the US thirteen kids die on the streets from 

abuse, disease and suicide. According to recent statistics Houston has up 

to 2,500 kids living on the streets at any given time. Texas has the highest 

rate of homeless youth in the U.S. StandUp For Kids needs supplies for 

our Houston program, which provides food, clothing, counseling and a safe 

environment for the homeless youth of Houston. If you or your organization 

would like to hold a food or clothing drive for StandUp For Kids, please 

contact me at HeatherE@standupforkids.org to learn more about StandUp 

For Kids or how you can help, visit our website at www.standupforkids.org. 

The single greatest need, for homeless and street kids is our continuous 

caring and real support. We must convince them that we care, we want them 

back and we want to help them get off the streets.

FOSTER CHILDREN: PREPARATION 

FOR ADULT LIVING (PAL) 

When foster children reach age 18, they are considered independent. 

That’s difficult for kids who have been wards of the state, with necessities 

arranged by caseworkers with state funds. Now they’ll have to figure out 

how to organize themselves and make their money last a whole month. 

Fortunately, Child protective Services offers them a program to help prepare 

for independence: Preparation for Adult Living (PAL). The year-long course 

culminates in an all-day workshop hosted by the National Council for Jewish 

Women (NCJW). The course is held at Junior Achievement’s BizTown, using 

computer kiosks sponsored by local businesses. Want to help with PAL or 

other NCJW programs that help change lives with hands-on community 

service? Contact info@ncjwhouston.org or see www.ncjwhouston.org.
