How To Start A Garden
How To Start A Garden
Want to start a garden, but not sure where to begin? In this post I’ll cover the basics of gardening, and provide links to more detailed information so you can garden with confidence and have fun doing it. We'll take you from bed preparation through harvesting your homegrown vegetables, flowers and herbs. Nothing beats the flavor of fresh picked produce picked at the peak of ripeness! How to start a garden Decide what you’d like to grow Choose a location Plan your garden beds Invest in basic garden tools Test your soil Prepare the soil Choose the right seeds or transplants Plant with care Nurture your garden Enjoy your harvest! #1 – Decide What You’d Like to Grow in Your Home Garden Rule #1 – If you won’t eat a crop, don’t grow it in your vegetable garden. (I break this rule for flowers. Edible or not, I like to see at least a few in every garden.) Focus on the fruits, vegetables or herbs that your family enjoys the most. 03/02/2023 12:00 AM

Blue Collar Art Reception at the Lyric in Eastland
Blue Collar Art Reception at the Lyric in Eastland
Blue Collar is an art exhibition at Lyric Art Center in Eastland County, Texas. Four artists contemplate labor using materials ranging from clay and barbed wire to paint and charcoal. Gary Ford and Beth Pearson Lund from Eastland and Kirstyn Wright and William Wright from Decatur find inspiration in their West Texas surroundings. This is visible in choices of materials and subject matter. Motifs of barbed wire, cowboy hats, work boots, and wind turbines, weave throughout the artworks representing only a part of labor in West Texas. 03/02/2023 12:00 AM

COVID-19 cases show decline
The number of new cases of COVID-19 reported by the Coronavirus Resource Center at Johns Hopkins University in Texas in the past week dropped to 25,229, with 189 deaths reported. The number of lab-confirmed COVID-19 hospitalizations in the state dipped slightly to 1,952, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. The number of actual cases is likely higher, since people who test positive using a home kit generally are not reported in the case count. 02/23/2023 12:00 AM
