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 />

It’s about conserving water, reducing fertilizer and pesticide use, reducing<br />
landscape waste and more! Visit https://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu for<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 />
Salvia-red, Shrimp Plant, Torenia, Verbena and Vinca.<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 />

<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 />
please contact Nicole@iWRITE.org or call the office at 713-845-5811.<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 />
