Sleep In Heavenly Peace<br />

Every night in the Houston area, children sleep on couches, bean bag<br />

chairs or the floor because they don’t have a bed, especially since<br />

Hurricane Harvey. A local chapter of Sleep In Heavenly Peace (SHP) has<br />

been started for Central-Western Houston, including Katy and Fulshear.<br />

SHP is a nationwide 501(c)3 charity that builds and delivers beds to<br />

needy children using donated materials and volunteer labor. Sponsoring<br />

organizations (companies, churches, fire departments, etc.) donate<br />

materials and provide 20-40+ volunteers to produce 20-40+ beds in<br />

half-day “Builds” and SHP delivers to needy families. The half day bed<br />

Builds are an excellent Teambuilding or Service Project for organizations<br />

wanting to make their community better. For organizations unable to<br />

provide 20-40+ volunteers, labor can be supplemented from Scouting<br />

troops or high school students. Material costs for 20-40+ beds amount to<br />

$3,500-$7,000. SHP receives requests for beds at SHPbed.org in English<br />

or Spanish. Organizations interested in sponsoring a half-day bed Build<br />

can contact 832-795-2759. SHP was founded by Luke Mickleson in Twin<br />

Falls ID in 2012 and has since grown to 130+ chapters nationwide. SHP<br />

has been reported on by Lester Holt on NBC Nightly News and by Mike<br />

Rowe on “Returning the Favor” on the Facebook Watch Network. In 2018,<br />

Luke Mickleson was named one of ten Heroes of the Year by CNN.<br />

MARCH GARDENING TIPS<br />

VEGETABLES<br />

• Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and snap beans<br />

and pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans, canta<br />

loupe, okra (if the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F.<br />

or higher), southern peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and<br />

watermelon.<br />

LAWN<br />

• Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this<br />

part of Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun).<br />

• When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine,<br />

use ONLY the variety Floratam for best pest resistance.<br />

See www.plantanswers.com/grass.htm.<br />

TREES AND SHRUBS<br />

• Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible.<br />

In shady areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting<br />

a dependable groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine,<br />

vinca or one of the prostrate junipers.<br />

• Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early <strong>March</strong>.<br />

However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they<br />

have bloomed.<br />

• Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer<br />

analysis such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square<br />

feet of garden planting area. Early <strong>March</strong> is the ideal time to<br />

fertilize landscape plants because you give them food just<br />

before the spring growing season starts.<br />
