Its several unbranched stems form clumps topped by bright-red, paintbrush-like spikes. The flowers are actually inconspicuous and greenish, but are subtended by showy, red-tipped bracts. Together, the flowers and bracts form 3-8 in. spikes. The roots of this plant will grow until they touch the roots of other plants, frequently grasses, penetrating these host roots to obtain a portion of their nutrients. Transplanting paintbrush may kill it. Indian paintbrush has a reputation for being unpredictable. In some years, when bluebonnets (which flower at approximately the same time as Indian paintbrush) are especially colorful, paintbrush will have only an average flowering year. Other years, paintbrush is spectacular.

7 Texas Gardeners SEEDS From Our Garden To Yours March 12, 2014 Magazine Article Submitted by Nueces MG, Carlos Valdez 7 easy steps to grow herbs indoors Birds & Blooms Don't let winter's dreadful temperatures keep you down. To add a bit of greenery and pizazz to your life, try growing an indoor herb garden! Start your indoor garden with these seven basic steps: Choose the right location: Although many think that herbs need direct sunlight, indirect sunlight will also work fine. Look around your house and make sure to choose the best location - don't limit yourself to the kitchen. East, South and West-facing windows should all give your herbs more than enough light. Buy the right pot and soil: One of the most important steps in growing herbs is choosing a high-quality potting soil. Buy soil that feels nice and moist when you take a handful. The type of pot you use is also extremely important. Clay pottery or unglazed ceramic pots seem to be the best for growing plants. Plant with loose soil: It is very important to loosely fill the pot with soil and not to press down too hard. Once the soil is in place, remove the starter herb plant from its pot and gently loosen the soil around the bottom inch of the roots. Scoop out a hole in the planting pot and settle the plant in its new home. Carefully fill soil back around the roots and water the plant moderately. Learn how to water: Learning to water herb containers is what takes the most practice. Until you get used to how fast your plants dry out, check them every couple of days.to keep plants and soil from drying out too fast, avoid placing them near furnace vents or hot, sunny windows. Plan to water plants every three to five days. Add organic fertilizer: Fertilize herbs once a month with organic fertilizer. You'll probably be using the plants for cooking or tea, so you don't want to be eating chemical fertilizer residues. Prevent insect pests: Whenever you grow plants indoors, insects can come calling. You can prevent most problems by making sure your soil doesn't get soggy. If you notice a few pests on your herbs, take action right away by spraying with a soap- or neem oil-based plant product. Harvest for good health: Be sure to pinch back or harvest your plants regularly. Pinching back the top couple of inches of growth helps plants stay bushy and healthy, and the harvest is perfect for cooking, making tea or adding to your bath. 7

10 Easter Egg Veggie Pizza Ingredients: a dusting of flour 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed according to package instructions 8 ounce tub of vegetable cream cheese veggies of your choice, finely chopped optional, 2 tablespoon heavy cream or egg wash (egg mixed with a bit of water) Supplies Needed: cutting board covered with parchment paper rolling pin parchment paper lined baking sheet pizza wheel or knife fork optional, pastry brush Instructions: - See more at: Dust your cutting board (or parchment paper) with flour. Un-fold puff pastry sheet and set on cutting board (or parchment paper.) Sprinkle some flour over top of dough. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough so that it increases in length to 13" long. Use a pizza wheel or knife to cut a large egg shape out of the dough. Move your egg to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. This is where it would have been easier to have it on the paper already. Use a fork to prick holes all over the dough. Optional: brush heavy cream or egg wash over the entire egg. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake egg for minutes until golden brown (longer if you like it really dark.) Allow to cool completely. Spread veggie cream cheese over crust. Decorate with vegetables and serve. You can refrigerate your pizza for a few hours or up to two days. 10

11 Arbor Day Friday, April 25th Arbor Day History Arbor Day is a celebration of trees and their importance to providing shelter, stabilization for the ground, and beauty to the beholder. While Arbor Day is a US holiday, several other countries have adopted similar observances including Japan, Australia, Korea and Yugoslavia. In 1970, President Richard Nixon declared Arbor Day a federal holiday and it is observed the last Friday in April each year. Facts about Arbor Day The first Arbor Day was celebrated April 10, 1872 in the State of Nebraska. More than 1 million trees were planted in Nebraska as they celebrated the first Arbor Day. A single tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year and can sequester 1 ton of carbon dioxide by the time it reaches 40 years old. Newspaper editor, Julius Sterling Morton began Arbor Day to help bring attention to the importance of trees. Since the Yellowstone Fires of 1988, the Arbor Day Foundation has partnered with the US Forest Service. Through this partnership, over 25 million Arbor Day Foundation trees have been planted. Arbor Day Top Events and Things to Do Plant a tree. Visit a nursery and consider buying some plants. Visit a park with green area that has beautiful trees. Organize a neighborhood beautification project. Hold a paper drive. Use the recycling proceeds to purchase a special tree. Arbor Day References and Related Sites 11
