MESSAGE TO ALL HEARTHSTONE RESIDENTS FROM THE<br />
HEARTHSTONE COUNTRY CLUB<br />
Incidents of trespassing on the golf course have recently had a dramatic increase.<br />
Accordingly, the club has posted new signs at all areas of access that address the trespassing<br />
issue. No one, whether members or non-members are to be on the club property at any<br />
time, day or evening, unless you are registered with the Pro shop. No walking or jogging,<br />
no dog walking, no bike riding, no fishing. The club has asked the Constables to assist in the<br />
enforcement of this violation. Please be a good neighbor and respect the club’s property.<br />
GOLF CART OPERATORS IN HEARTHSTONE:<br />
Parents, please remember that all operators of golf carts on both public streets and at the<br />
<strong>Hearthstone</strong> Country Club must be at least 16 years old and have a valid TX Operators<br />
license. We have recently noticed many underage operators driving through the community.<br />
Underage drivers subject both themselves and their parents to citation by the Harris County<br />
Constables Office. Should an underage driver cause any damage to a person or property,<br />
most insurance companies will not cover the loss leaving the parents open to civil litigation.<br />
Please parents, if your child is underage and operating your golf cart, ask them to stop. If our<br />
Constable on patrol continues to observe underage drivers she/he will have no choice but to<br />
stop the driver and call the parents. Let’s take care of this issue on our own. Thanks!<br />

REMINDER:<br />
Please be mindful of the Harris County Leash Law and be certain that<br />
your pets are on a leash when not confined to your home or backyard.<br />
DO’S AND DON’TS OF DEED RESTRICTIONS<br />
Deed restrictions or often called “restrictive covenants” (especially in<br />
the context of homeowners associations) are restrictions contained in<br />
incorporating documents that limit how a property can be used or what<br />
can be built on it. Subdivision developers create these restrictions in<br />
order to keep size, quality and nature of housing consistent in an effort to<br />
maintain market value of the subdivision.<br />
For the most part, <strong>Hearthstone</strong> residents abide by our deed restrictions.<br />
Yards are kept clean and neat. Home exteriors are washed and unsightly<br />
mold is removed. Our neighbors file the required ACC forms when making<br />
changes to their home exteriors or adding a room or other structure.<br />
Trailers are not parked in driveways or on the street for extended periods<br />
of time and commercial vehicles are kept in garages.<br />
However, there are always a few who, from time to time forget or are<br />
not well informed about to do’s and don’ts of our deed restrictions. We<br />
need your help. We need everyone to follow the deed restrictions. If you<br />
aren’t familiar with them, they can be found in the documents section<br />
of our website. If you’re not sure, call the management company. Our<br />
management company inspects the community once a month checking<br />
for violations. There are times when they will miss something. If you have<br />
a neighbor who is a continuing violator, call the management company.<br />
If you want to remain anonymous call Katie Ivanics directly and let her<br />
know. Moving forward, the Board has instructed the management<br />
company to continue to inspect closely for violations and follow up with<br />
notices allowed by law.<br />
1) The first notice is a courtesy letter.<br />
2) If the violation is not cured within 30 days a second letter is sent.<br />
3) If the violation continues another 30 days it is referred to our attorney<br />
and a third letter is sent. The attorney letter results in a $302.50 charge to<br />
the homeowners account.<br />
4) Continuing violations and/or non-payment of a homeowners account<br />
can lead to a notice of foreclosure.<br />
For the good of all of our homeowners in <strong>Hearthstone</strong>, let’s keep our<br />
community clean and neat. Thanks to all of you who already abide by<br />
the rules and thanks in advance to those few who will strive to do better!<br />
STOP THAT BARKING<br />
Many dogs left alone all day get lonely, bored and restless. Many find<br />
relief in barking. Some respond noisily to any and all activity. But, nothing<br />
is as annoying as incessant barking - even for dog lovers. If your dog is a<br />
yapper or a yowler, please consider some of these bark-abatement ideas<br />
to keep the noise down in your area. Your neighbors will thank you!<br />
• Training. Always the first recommendation for any behavioral problem!<br />
Help is as close as the Yellow Pages. Training not only helps your dog,<br />
you’ll be surprised how much it helps you, too. You may get some insight<br />
into why your dog barks so much or what it is trying to communicate.<br />
• Citronella collars. A humane alternative to the electric-shock, antibarking<br />
collar and costs about the same. Available on the web and in<br />
pet stores.<br />
• Confinement. Sometimes simply bringing an outspoken dog indoors<br />
or confining it to a crate can cut down on the disturbance to neighbors.<br />
• For inside dogs, reduce stimulus. Close drapes to help muffle street<br />
noise or leave a radio on to mask it.<br />
• Companionship. Dogs are pack animals; they need companionship<br />
- a cat, bird or another dog. Consider a mid-day visit from a pet-sitting<br />
service or drop your pooch off at a friend’s place or a day-care facility<br />
once or twice a week.<br />
Keep in mind that dogs who bark from loneliness or boredom, may not<br />
do it when you are home. Meanwhile, your neighbors may be getting<br />
serenaded while you are away.<br />

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR<br />
HARRIS COUNTY CONSTABLE<br />
The Harris County Constable’s Office, Precinct 5 is now offering a class<br />
on Rape Aggression Defense (RAD). RAD is one of the best women’s selfdefense<br />
courses available. It’s a program based on realistic self-defense<br />
tactics and techniques. It is a comprehensive self-defense course for<br />
women that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and<br />
avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defensive<br />
training. If you’re interested in more information and signing up, go to<br />
this link:<br />
https://constablepct5.com/index.php/rad<br />
Make sure if you or your family goes on vacation to put in a “Vacation<br />
Watch” with our department. That way you’ll know your house is being<br />
watched by our patrol deputies. You can fill out a vacation watch form<br />
online here:<br />
https://constablepct5.com/index.php/vacation-watch/<br />
https://constablepct5.com/index.php/special-watch/<br />
Or you can call our dispatch at 281-463-6666.<br />
HEARTHSTONE STREETLIGHTS<br />
The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> HOA coordinates maintenance of all the streetlights<br />
throughout the community. This includes the “cobra head” lights like<br />
you see along many streets and highways, as well as the decorative light<br />
poles along Huffmeister and in some of the neighborhoods.<br />
Cobra head streetlights need to be reported to CenterPoint, using the<br />
pole number, which is the “address” for the light. It is a six digit number<br />
facing the street. You can report streetlights that are not working or<br />
staying on during the day at http://cnp.centerpointenergy.com/outage<br />
(Google streetlight outage) or give us the pole number and we will do<br />
it for you.<br />
Outages or problems with decorative streetlights should be reported to<br />
Inframark at 281-870-0585. Please note the exact intersection or closest<br />
address. The association has a contractor doing a monthly nighttime<br />
inspection for lights that are out, but if you see a problem, please report<br />
it, so we can achieve our goal to keep all the lights on all the time.<br />
TRASH DAYS<br />
Trash days are Tuesdays and Fridays with recycling pickup on Fridays. If<br />
you have questions, call 281-368-8397.<br />
BOARD MEETING<br />
Board Meetings are now bi-monthly, usually on the 3 rd Wednesday at 6<br />
PM. <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Country Club.<br />
LOST & FOUND PETS IN HEARTHSTONE<br />
Folks in <strong>Hearthstone</strong> are very helpful in getting lost pets reunited with<br />
their owners, but all dog owners should ensure that there is a tag on each<br />
dog with their name, address and phone number. Local pet stores have<br />
machines that make tags like this while you wait. At least that would help<br />
found dogs get back home quicker and with less trauma.<br />
HEARTHSTONE HOA EMAIL ALERTS<br />
Just register at the site using “Join our Mailing Lists” on the opening page.<br />
You will be automatically added to the email group.<br />

than association business. Your address will not even be shared among<br />
group members. Messages sent to the group will be limited to those<br />
authorized by the HOA Board of Directors.<br />
If you have already joined the email group, you do not need to do so<br />
again.<br />

COMMUNITY GENEROUSLY SUPPORTS <strong>2021</strong><br />
LIVESTOCK SHOW AND SALE<br />
The 27 th Annual CFISD Livestock Show Association Show and Sale, held<br />
Feb. 1 st -6 th at the CFISD Exhibit Center, saw an incredible amount of<br />
generosity from the CFISD community through the live auction, freezer<br />
sale, monetary donations and the first-ever online sale, despite the<br />
COVID-19 pandemic.<br />
The Premium Sale (live auction) unofficially raised $281,950, which is<br />
$23,250 more than last year. Final amounts from the Freezer Sale (animals<br />
not placing high enough for the live auction), Agriculture Mechanics and<br />
Horticulture silent auction and additional gifts to students are not yet<br />
available. More than 130 projects had pre-sale commitments to purchase<br />
and animals in the Freezer Sale sold out in record time. In addition, one<br />
new record was set for Grand Champion Turkey:<br />
• Texas Travel Plaza & Cana Tire Inc. paid $20,000 for the Grand Champion<br />
Turkey exhibited by Mason Oehlers from Jersey Village High School.<br />
“The support from the community was amazing,” said Denise Kubecka,<br />
director of career and technical education. “The common message<br />
community members shared was that they were there to ensure our<br />
FFA students were rewarded for their hard work and they did not want<br />
the pandemic to take anything away from that. So many wanted to be<br />
a part of this event that the students will remember for a lifetime. The<br />
community’s outpouring of support was heartwarming. This would not<br />

have happened without the parents, community members, countless<br />
CFISD departments and, of course, our ag teachers working together on<br />
the common goal to put our students first. Thank you to all. We did it!”<br />

FOUR HIGH SCHOOLS RECEIVE FIRST WAVE OF<br />
SYNTHETIC TURF FIELDS<br />
Four high schools have finished receiving new synthetic turf baseball<br />
and softball fields as part of the community-supported 2019 bond<br />
referendum. Cypress Ridge, Cypress Ranch, Cypress Woods and Cypress<br />
Falls high schools each received the improvements this year, at an<br />
estimated cost of $14.5 million. The project was designed by IBI Architects<br />
and constructed by ICI Construction.<br />
“A three-phase plan is being implemented for the design and<br />
construction of the fields,” said Roy Sprague, CFISD chief operations<br />
officer. “Phase 1 started in 2019, with those four campuses having<br />

outstanding experience and our new A/C unit works<br />
great! Mike was awesome! He helped us through the<br />
entire process and demonstrated professionalism,<br />
thorough knowledge of the product, and was super<br />

been substantially completed. Phase 2 design work is being completed<br />
and construction is anticipated to start in April <strong>2021</strong> and the Phase 3<br />
campuses design work will start in early 2022.”<br />
Phase 2 is scheduled to include Cypress Creek, Cypress Lakes, Jersey<br />
Village and Langham Creek high schools. Phase 3 is scheduled to include<br />
Cypress Springs, Cypress Park and Bridgeland high schools. The Cy-Fair<br />
High School synthetic turf fields will be constructed as part of the Cy-Fair<br />
Multi-Campus Master Plan Improvements, with design starting in late<br />
<strong>2021</strong>.<br />
The synthetic turf, supplied by FieldTurf USA, allows for almost immediate<br />
playability after rainfall; as well as less groundskeeping and maintenance,<br />
year-round availability and increased safety.<br />
“We are excited for the start of our upcoming softball and baseball<br />
seasons and the recent addition of our four baseball and four softball<br />
turfed fields,” said Ray Zepeda, CFISD director of athletics. “The entire<br />
project will allow us to have a facility that is much more useful and<br />
functional for our programs, athletes and coaches.”<br />
In addition to the surface improvements, the project also increased the<br />
seating capacity at the Cypress Ridge and Cypress Ranch softball fields<br />
and the Cypress Woods and Cypress Falls baseball facilities.<br />
“We are hopeful that this will allow us to host more playoff contests within<br />
our school district,” Zepeda said. “The quality of the materials and the scope<br />
of the entire project reflects our communities’ commitment to having firstclass<br />
facilities for our athletes. We sincerely appreciate the support of our<br />
community and will certainly take great pride in our new facilities.”<br />

We have done everything we can to try and reopen our doors, including<br />
becoming the first theater in the country to install hospital grade UV lights<br />
in our air filtration system. We even offered a safe and distanced indoor<br />
concert as well as an indoor offering from our educational touring unit<br />
this past fall. And when those projects proved financially challenging and<br />
COVID numbers spiked again, we created “Light Up the Lot” and moved<br />
all our programming outdoors. We’ve never given up. We never will give<br />
up. But due to circumstances beyond our control, we find ourselves<br />
needing to pivot once more. Which brings us to the announcement of<br />
our virtual season. Go to www.adplayers.org for all the information.<br />

20 WAYS TO ENJOY MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES<br />
Building a healthy plate is easy when you make half your plate fruits<br />
and vegetables. It’s also a great way to add color, flavor and texture plus<br />
vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. Make 2 cups of fruit and 2 1⁄2 cups of<br />
vegetables your daily goal. Try the following tips to enjoy more fruits and<br />
vegetables every day.<br />
1. Variety abounds when using vegetables as pizza topping. Try broccoli,<br />
spinach, green peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and zucchini.<br />
2. Mix up a breakfast smoothie made with low-fat milk, frozen strawberries<br />
and a banana.<br />
3. Make a veggie wrap with roasted vegetables and low-fat cheese rolled<br />
in a whole-wheat tortilla.<br />
4. Try crunchy vegetables instead of chips with your favorite low-fat salad<br />
dressing for dipping.<br />
5. Grill colorful vegetable kabobs packed with tomatoes, green and red<br />
peppers, mushrooms and onions.<br />
6. Add color to salads with baby carrots, grape tomatoes, spinach leaves<br />
or mandarin oranges.*<br />
7. Keep cut vegetables handy for mid-afternoon snacks, side dishes,<br />
lunch box additions or<br />
a quick nibble while waiting for dinner. Ready-to-eat favorites: red, green<br />
or yellow peppers, broccoli or cauliflower florets, carrots, celery sticks,<br />
cucumbers, snap peas or whole radishes.<br />
8. Place colorful fruit where everyone can easily grab something for a<br />
snack-on-the- run. Keep a bowl of fresh, just ripe whole fruit in the center<br />
of your kitchen or dining table.<br />
9. Get saucy with fruit. Puree apples, berries, peaches or pears in a blender<br />
for a thick, sweet sauce on grilled or broiled seafood or poultry, or on<br />
pancakes, French toast or waffles.<br />
10. Stuff an omelet with vegetables. Turn any omelet into a hearty meal<br />
with broccoli, squash, carrots, peppers, tomatoes or onions with low-fat<br />
sharp cheddar cheese.<br />
11. “Sandwich” in fruits and vegetables. Add pizzazz to sandwiches with<br />
sliced pineapple, apple, peppers, cucumber and tomato as fillings.<br />
12. Wake up to fruit. Make a habit of adding fruit to your morning oatmeal,<br />
ready-to-eat cereal, yogurt or toaster waffle.<br />
13. Top a baked potato with beans and salsa or broccoli and low-fat<br />
cheese.<br />
14. Microwave a cup of vegetable soup as a snack or with a sandwich for<br />
lunch.<br />
15. Add grated, shredded or chopped vegetables such as zucchini,<br />
spinach and carrots to lasagna, meat loaf, mashed potatoes, pasta sauce<br />
and rice dishes.<br />
16. Make fruit your dessert: Slice a banana lengthwise and top with a<br />
scoop of low-fat frozen yogurt. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of chopped<br />
nuts.<br />
17. Stock your freezer with frozen vegetables to steam or stir-fry for a<br />
quick side dish.<br />
18. Make your main dish a salad of dark, leafy greens and other colorful<br />
vegetables. Add chickpeas or edamame (fresh soybeans). Top with lowfat<br />
dressing.*<br />
19. Fruit on the grill: Make kabobs with pineapple, peaches and banana.<br />
Grill on low heat until fruit is hot and slightly golden.<br />
20. Dip: Whole wheat pita wedges in hummus, baked tortilla chips in<br />
salsa, strawberries or apple slices in low-fat yogurt, or graham crackers<br />
in applesauce.<br />

SMART SNACKING TIPS FOR KIDS<br />
Snacks can play an important role in meeting kids’ nutrient needs.<br />
Choosing foods from all of the food groups will give them the energy<br />
they need between meals. It helps to plan and portion out snacks in<br />
advance. Kids will usually only need 2 or 3 snacks daily, and these should<br />
be provided at least one hour before meals. It is recommended that<br />
snacks (and meals) be eaten in an area without distractions. So avoid<br />
snacking while watching TV or when using other electronic devices.<br />
Better yet, let the kids help prepare the healthy snacks.<br />
HERE ARE A FEW EASY, TASTY (AND HEALTHY)<br />
SNACKS TO HELP GET YOU STARTED<br />
1. Parfait: Layer vanilla or plain low-fat yogurt with fruit and dried<br />
cereal.<br />
2. Toast a whole grain waffle and top with low-fat yogurt and sliced fruit<br />
or smooth nut butter.<br />
3. Blend low-fat milk, frozen strawberries and a banana for thirty<br />
seconds for a delicious smoothie.<br />
4. Sandwich cut-outs: Make a sandwich on whole grain bread. Cut out<br />
your favorite shape<br />
using a big cookie cutter. Eat the fun shape and the edges, too!<br />
5. Mini-pizza: Toast a whole wheat English muffin, drizzle with pizza<br />
sauce and sprinkle with low-fat mozzarella cheese.<br />
6. Frozen treats: Mix equal amounts of fat-free plain or flavored yogurt<br />
with 100% fruit juice, then pour into paper cups and freeze for a tasty<br />
treat.<br />
7. Quesadilla: Sprinkle shredded cheese over a corn or whole wheat<br />
tortilla; fold in half and microwave for twenty seconds. Top with salsa.<br />
8. Spread hummus on a tortilla. Top with a slice of turkey or ham, low-fat<br />
cheese and lettuce. Then roll it up.<br />
9. Stuff a whole-grain pita pocket with ricotta cheese and Granny Smith<br />
apple slices. Add a dash of cinnamon.10. Microwave a cup of tomato or<br />
vegetable soup and enjoy with whole grain crackers.<br />
11. Make a mini-sandwich with tuna or egg salad on a dinner roll.<br />
12. Microwave a small baked potato. Top with reduced-fat cheddar<br />
cheese and salsa.<br />
13. Spread celery sticks with smooth nut butter or low-fat cream cheese.<br />
Top with raisins. Enjoy your “ants on a log.”<br />
14. Dip slices of fruit or whole-grain graham crackers into low-fat vanilla<br />
pudding or yogurt.<br />
15. Inside-out sandwich: Spread mustard<br />
on a slice of deli turkey. Wrap around a sesame breadstick.<br />
16. Rocky road: Smear low-fat chocolate pudding on a whole grain<br />
graham cracker, then top with a marshmallow.<br />
17. Sprinkle cinnamon on unsweetened applesauce and enjoy with a<br />
whole grain graham cracker for a taste similar to apple pie.<br />
18. Make your own fruit roll-up by pureeing fruit and either baking it in<br />
the oven or by using a dehydrator.<br />
19. Bake homemade chewy granola bars using whole-grain oats and<br />
dried fruit.<br />
20. Whip up mini-muffins using healthy ingredients, like whole grain<br />
flours and pureed fruit.<br />

NATIONAL PROPOSAL DAY<br />
This day is for those who have waited patiently for that special someone<br />
to pop the question without success. <strong>March</strong> 20 th is National Proposal Day.<br />
Observed on both the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes, National Proposal<br />
Day is an opportunity to let the loved one in your life know you are open<br />
to a marriage proposal. Where subtle hints have not worked, a more direct<br />
approach may be required. Proposal Day was created by John Michael<br />
O’Loughlin. For more information, visit www.proposalday.com.<br />
Source:<br />
https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-proposal-day-march-21/<br />
5 THINGS TO REMEMBER ON PROPOSAL DAY<br />
So the day has finally come. After weeks of searching for the perfect ring,<br />
planning the perfect venue, speaking with her parents and (GULP) asking<br />
for her father’s permission, you are finally ready to say those 4 simple<br />
words. WHAT AM I DOING? Will You Marry Me? We’ve compiled our list of<br />
the 5 things to remember on Proposal Day based on years of experience<br />
and the stories of thousands of guys just like you. Enjoy.<br />
Confirm your reservations!<br />
The last thing you need today is someone else you are relying on to<br />
not come through. Give a quick call to the restaurant where you made<br />
your reservation and remind them what you are doing tonight. Most<br />
restaurants love to help and get involved so don’t be afraid to drop the<br />
P word! If you’ve hired a photographer or asked a friend to take some<br />
pictures to capture the moment, touch base with them as well.<br />
Practice<br />
It is a proven fact that proposing is not a natural function of the common<br />
man (well maybe not proven but it should be). How do you overcome<br />
that tongue that keeps getting in the way? Practice, Practice, Practice.<br />
Start by writing down all the reasons why you want to marry her and<br />
remember that this is your time to express your love for her. Be natural<br />
and don’t memorize your “script,” just practice so when the time comes,<br />
it will flow naturally.<br />
16<br />
Calm Your Nerves<br />
If you wake up in a cold sweat the day of the proposal, you are not alone.<br />
Sharing our feelings and being vulnerable top the list of things that don’t come<br />
naturally. Take some time the morning of the proposal to relax and calm your<br />
nerves. A workout at the gym or a nice run will work, but even just taking an<br />
hour to relax with a cup of coffee can do wonders to get you into the right<br />
frame of mind. Remind yourself throughout the day that no one is expecting<br />
perfection. It is usually the things that go wrong that make the proposal<br />
memorable and fun! If you can’t seem to get a handle on your nerves, just be<br />
sure to grab some of that extra strength antiperspirant and apply liberally!<br />
Get Your Props<br />
Props may not be the right word, after all, you’re probably not filming a movie.<br />
Basically, I’m talking about all the little things you may need to pull this off<br />
without a hitch. Do you want to have her favorite flowers on the table, a glass of<br />
champagne for the celebration after or did you want to wear that shirt that she<br />
loves so much on you? Make sure these things are ready. Nothing is worse than<br />
realizing that you don’t have clean underwear 30 minutes before your date!<br />
The Ring<br />
This may seem like a no brainer but it must be said! The ring is a symbol of this<br />
awesome step in your relationship and really is the centerpiece of this entire<br />
night. Make sure you know where you are going to place your ring. Fumbling<br />
to find the pocket you put the ring in is an unnecessary source of awkward<br />
silence. Know where you put the ring! And as an added bonus, I will throw this<br />
in as a freebie… Stick to a pocket, putting the ring in food is so not OK.<br />
The Proposal Day is going to be memorable for both of you so just be<br />
yourself and let her know why she is the one. I do have one other “remember<br />
to…” Even if you forget all your lines, your props, the reservations and the<br />
clean underwear, don’t forget to get down on one knee. The proposal will<br />
just flow from there. While I realize it’s not the 1950’s, this is one tradition<br />
that is still going strong. She will love this classic and beautiful display of<br />
respect for her and this moment. I hope you find these helpful.<br />

<strong>March</strong> Gardening Tips<br />
VEGETABLES: Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and<br />
snap beans and pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans,<br />
cantaloupe, okra (if the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F. or<br />
higher), southern peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and watermelon.<br />
LAWN: Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this<br />
part of Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun). • When<br />
resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY the variety<br />
Floratam for best pest resistance. See www.plantanswers.com/grass.htm.<br />
TREES AND SHRUBS: Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as<br />
possible. In shady areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a<br />
dependable groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or one of<br />
the prostrate junipers. • Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during<br />
early <strong>March</strong>. However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have<br />
bloomed. • 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 feet of garden<br />
planting area. Early <strong>March</strong> is the ideal time to fertilize landscape plants because<br />
you give them food just before the spring growing season starts.<br />
NATIONAL PLANT A FLOWER DAY - MARCH 12TH<br />
Spring is just around the corner and <strong>March</strong> 12 th is the day to participate<br />
in National Plant a Flower Day. Each year this day is dedicated to the<br />
planting of flowers and looking forward to the spring season. Flower<br />
gardening has become a hobby for many, young and old and National<br />
Plant a Flower Day is a start to the new season each year.<br />

Greater Houston<br />
Marigolds and Daffodils are the flowers of this month. It’s good to know<br />
the zone you live in to determine which flowers grow as perennials (those<br />
that grow back every year) in your area and which are considered annuals<br />
(those that require planting every year). To find out more check out the<br />
USDA site for Hardiness Zones.<br />
Seeds can be started inside and set in a sunny window. When the weather<br />
is nicer, move those plants outside. Keep the soil moist, but not wet and<br />
follow the instructions on the seed package for proper germination of<br />
the seedling. For those who can’t wait, get out those seed catalogs and<br />
start planning your next flower garden.<br />
Are you in a warmer climate? Then it’s time to get out the trowel and<br />
the garden gloves and start turning over some new soil. Sow some new<br />
seeds, bulbs or plants and nurture those blossoms into a brilliant blaze<br />
for the whole neighborhood to enjoy.<br />
Tips for Starting a Flower Garden: Start with a potted garden. If you aren’t<br />
ready to tear up a patch of lawn, this is a good way to go. They do require<br />
more watering, but less care overall. • Select plants that grow well in<br />
your spot. Some plants grow well in the shade and others prefer the sun.<br />
Others love both! • Did you know gardeners who prefer perennial gardens<br />
have to thin their flower beds every couple of years? They also like to<br />
share the extra bulbs and seeds with those who are new to gardening,<br />
so if you know someone with a green thumb, get to know them better.<br />
You might get some free plants, advice and a budding friendship! • Local<br />
greenhouses stock plants that grow well in your area. Don’t be afraid to<br />
ask them questions and shop there frequently. • Let’s all work together<br />
by planting a flower and helping make the world a more beautiful place.<br />
