Tuesdays in the Arboretum

The new Master Gardener course began this month. At the first class, the MG "interns" were given a tour of The Arboretum with a quick description of the trees. Some of them came out Tuesday morning to help with a little maintanence. Floyd weeded, edged and generally cleaned up some of the beds. This Wild Olive, Anacuahita, looked awesome when he was done!
Walt and Doss both worked with the mulch spreading crew. We made a pretty nice size dent in our huge pile of mulch!

There is a group that meets every Tuesday morning to work either in the garden or on the garden (or both!) Any Master Gardener can get an hour or two of work in at their convenience. The gates to the County Annex are open all day Monday through Friday and on Saturday mornings. Chris will be coordinating Saturday workdays each month.


Some of the bluebonnet seed we spread in December sprouted! (Even though December is really too late to sow wildflower seed in Deep South Texas - we just got lucky). This is our first bloom.
