Cheesy Potatoes on the Grill <br />

INGREDIENTS:<br />

4 slices Bacon<br />

3 large Baking Potatoes<br />

1 large Onion, sliced<br />

1 cup processed Cheese, cubed<br />

1/2 tsp. Salt<br />

1/4 tsp. Black Pepper<br />

1/2 tsp. dried Parsley<br />

2 Tbs. Butter or Margarine<br />

1 Tbs. Bacon Drippings<br />

DIRECTIONS: In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, fry the bacon until<br />

crisp, reserving one tablespoon of the drippings. Drain the bacon on a paper<br />

towel and crumble when it’s cool enough to handle. Set aside.<br />

Peel and slice the potatoes, placing them on a 9-inch by 13-inch double-layer<br />

of aluminum foil as you go. Separate the sliced onion into rings, and layer them<br />

over the potato slices. Add the crumbled bacon bits, cheese, salt, pepper and<br />

parsley. Dot the potatoes with butter or margarine, and drizzle the bacon fat<br />

over the top of the mixture.<br />

Wrap the foil loosely around the potatoes, but make sure the ends are well<br />

sealed. Cook on the grill about 4 inches from the hot coals for about an hour,<br />

or until tender. Remember to turn the package often to keep the potatoes<br />

from burning. Serve warm from the grill. www.razzledazzlerecipes.com/<br />

WHAT’S THAT<br />

NET ON MY<br />

TREE TRUNK?<br />

By Deborah Birge, Fort<br />

Bend County Master<br />

Gardener<br />

If you see a net over<br />

your tree trunk, you’re<br />

the lucky winner of<br />

the Bark Lice Lottery!<br />

Bark lice are small,<br />

soft-bodied insects<br />

that live on hardwood<br />

trees, especially Live<br />

Oaks and sometimes<br />

on Pecans. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

webbing appears in<br />

midsummer and can<br />

cover a tree trunk and<br />

large branches very<br />

quickly. But don’t be<br />

alarmed - bark lice<br />

are a great clean-up crew feeding on fungi, bacteria, dead insects and<br />

lichens!<br />

Although some people think they’re unsightly, bark lice are highly<br />

beneficial and should be left alone. With the first fall frosts, they’ll begin<br />

to decline, along with their web.<br />

For more information about this fungus visit: aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/<br />

galveston/weekly_Q&A/ts&p_14.htm. For more gardening information<br />

and photos, follow us on Facebook and visit our website at fbmg.org.<br />

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT EARTH-KIND® LANDSCAPING?<br />

It’s about conserving water, reducing fertilizer and pesticide use, reducing<br />

landscape waste and more! Visit https://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu for<br />

information about this environmentally-friendly landscaping technique.<br />

GARDEN TIPS FOR JUNE<br />

Lawns: Apply iron sulfate or chelete to St. Augustine grass lawns.<br />

• Mow St. Augustine to a 2-inch height now to protect roots from the sun.<br />

Never cut off more than a third of the leaf.<br />

• Continue treatment of lawns for chinch bug. As the temperature hits 80<br />

degrees, chinch bugs begin to reproduce in the hottest and driest part<br />

of the lawn, usually next to cement. Use diazinon or dursban granules.<br />

Flowers: Overwatered hibiscus, purslane and bougainvillea won’t bloom.<br />

• Keep flowers pinched off of coleus and caladiums to encourage more of<br />

the beautiful foliage.<br />

• Plants to set: Acalpha, Ageratum, Alternathera, Aspidistra, Artemisia,<br />

Balsam, Begonia, Chrysanthemum, Cockscomb, Coleus, Croton, Dusty<br />

Miller, Feverfew, Gaillardia, Geranium, Marigold, Petunia, Pinks, Portulaca,<br />

Vegetables: A strong blast of water in the morning rids plants of most<br />

bugs for the rest of the day.<br />

• Vegetables to plant: Cantaloupe, Sweet Corn, Cucumber, Eggplant sets,<br />

Okra, Black Peas, Pepper Sets, Summer Squash and Sweet Potato.<br />

Shrubs: Watch Camellias and Azaleas, they’re setting their blooms now<br />

for next season. So give them a good mulch and plenty of water. Mulch<br />

well with oak leaves and/or pine needles to keep soil acidic. Benefits of<br />

Mulching: Mulching (organic or inorganic) is a layer of material on the<br />

surface of the soil around the plant. Mulches conserve water by reducing<br />

evaporation, insulates the soil and protects it from the drying wind and<br />

hot sun. Mulches break the force of rain and irrigation water and tend to<br />

prevent erosion, soil compaction, and crusting. Lastly, a 2-3 inch layer of<br />

mulch will almost eliminate weed problems.<br />

JUNE IS NATIONAL CAMPING MONTH<br />

National Camping Month in <strong>June</strong> is an excellent time to pack up your gear and experience nature. Whether<br />

you like roughing it or prefer to have a few modern conveniences when heading out to the trail, it’s<br />

important to keep a few things in mind:<br />

1. Make sure you have plenty of fresh water or a fresh water source.<br />

2. Take a first aid kit and that it is stocked.<br />

3. Pack waterproof matches.<br />

4. Take non-perishable food such as granola bars, jerky, peanut butter, chocolate bars and dried fruits,<br />

especially if you are not taking a cooler.<br />

5. Pack fruits, vegetables and meats separately and keep chilled in a cooler.<br />

6. Include sunblock, even for cloudy days.<br />

7. Rain gear, jackets and blankets are necessary for cooler weather.<br />

Around the country, there are a variety of campsites available. <strong>The</strong> more modern campsite includes showers<br />

and recreational facilities. <strong>The</strong>se often include water hookups and parking pads for RVs and campers and<br />

cabins to rent as well as more primitive sites with no electrical hookups designed for tent usage. Other<br />

parks only allow primitive camping and require everything you pack into the park to be packed out. So,<br />

seriously consider your needs if you are hiking into the park for your stay. <strong>The</strong>se are not for the glampers.<br />

Gather family and friends, don’t forget the s’mores supply and go camping! Nature is calling and there are<br />

so many ways to enjoy a weekend or even more camping. National Camping Month has been observed<br />

since the 1970s. Source: https://nationaldaycalendar.com<br />

CREATIVE WRITING & ILLUSTRATION<br />

SUMMER CAMPS<br />

<strong>The</strong> iWRITE Organization will host Creative Writing & Illustration Summer<br />

Camps around the Houston area, allowing young writers to bring their<br />

stories to life! iWRITE was founded ten years ago by children’s author,<br />

Melissa Williams Murphy, in order to give students the opportunity to build<br />

their writing skills and boost their creative confidence through all kinds of<br />

writing programs and publishing opportunities. This summer young writers<br />

can learn straight from the pros! <strong>The</strong> iWRITE summer camps and workshops<br />

will be held in <strong>June</strong> and July in the Cypress, Spring Branch and Ft. Bend<br />

areas with opportunities for kids ages 8 to 16 years old. Students will<br />

learn character development skills that can be used in all types of writing,<br />

how authors brainstorm and turn ideas into a story, how illustrators bring<br />

characters to life through art, fun editing techniques and even how to get<br />

your work published. Visit iWRITE.org to learn more, meet the instructors<br />

and register. If you would like to apply for a scholarship or sponsor a child,<br />

National Selfie Day<br />

Cell phones and social media have transformed our lives. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

technologies have enabled us to communicate with each other in a<br />

way that just wasn’t possible before their invention. And one form<br />

communication or self-expression depending on how it’s used, it the selfie<br />

- the act of taking a picture of yourself with a cell phone or webcam and<br />

posting it to social media. It’s an act that has taken the world by storm,<br />

which is probably why there’s now a holiday to celebrate it called National<br />

Selfie Day. A day, which has been celebrated annually since 2014 on <strong>June</strong><br />

21 st . So why not grab your cell phone, snap a picture of yourself and post<br />

it on the Internet on this glorious holiday? After all, millions of people all<br />

over the world are probably doing that very act anyway - holiday or not.<br />

<strong>The</strong> History of the Selfie: While people have been taking pictures of<br />

themselves for quite some time, most experts agree that the selfie first<br />

evolved into its modern version when people started taking pictures<br />

of themselves to post on MySpace between 2003 and 2005. However,<br />

it was a drunk Australian on Flickr in 2004 who coined the term “selfie”<br />

to describe the act of taking a picture of yourself and posting it to social<br />

media. <strong>The</strong>n as the years passed and cell phone technology, as well as the<br />

independent technologies of the various social media outlets improved,<br />

selfies themselves began to improve. And as they improved, they<br />

increased in popularity. In 2013, the selfie would then hit the mainstream<br />

when the Oxford Dictionary added the term “selfie.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> History of National Selfie Day: <strong>The</strong> first time National Selfie Day<br />

was celebrated was on <strong>June</strong> 21, 2014. It was started by DJ Rick McNeely<br />

as a way to get people to enjoy taking selfies of themselves and to do it in<br />

a creative way. Not long after he invented it, the holiday took off. Source:<br />

AREA SCOUTS GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY<br />

Community service is a key element of the Scouts BSA program and<br />

allows members of the troop to keep their promise to “help other people.”<br />

This commitment was on full display on March 7 th when Troops 584 and<br />

1584 conducted a service day at the YMCA Camp Cinco in Cinco Ranch.<br />

<strong>The</strong> scouts spent the day creating a new access route to the activities<br />

pavilion from the main road. <strong>The</strong> 25 youth involved in the project laid<br />

timbers to line the route and hauled seemingly endless wheel barrels of<br />

mulch to complete the path and make Camp Cinco a better facility for<br />

everyone in the community.<br />

<strong>The</strong> two troops are chartered to and meet at <strong>The</strong> Cinco Ranch Church of<br />

Christ.<br />
