Free Gardening Seminar
Leon County GARDENERS GEAR UP FOR SPRING PLANTING
Despite the cold weather, anyone who plans to put in a garden this year
needs to get ready right now. That’s the word from Leon County
Extension Agent Tommy Neyland. “People who can’t wait to get their
garden in can get started right now,” Neyland indicated. “It won’t be
long before some of our early-season crops need to be planted, and
there’s a whole lot of work to get done before then.” Local Master
Gardeners will help gardeners learn the best methods for getting those
plants in the ground as they along with Bo Bo's Nursery hosts a free
“Early Season Vegetables” seminar Friday, February 20, from 11:00am
to 12:30pm at BoBo's Nursery. Methods for planting Tomatoes, onions,
potatoes, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli and green
peas will be just part of the seminar. “There’s any number of crops that
do especially well when planted early in the year,” said Neyland.
“We’ll concentrate on how to know when to plant these crops, how
to prepare the soil for planting, the best varieties for our area, as
well as the actual procedures for getting in the ground.” In addition to
variety selection and production methods, the class will also
concentrate on weed control, fertilization and care of the plants. The
vegetable gardening class is offered free to the public and will be held
at Bo Bo's Nursery, located on Hwy 79 between Buffalo and Jewett. For
more information and preregistration please contact the Texas Agrilife
Extension Service at 903.536.2531 or at leon-tx@tamu.edu We will seek to
provide reasonable accommodations for all persons with disabilities for
this event. We request that you contact Texas Agrilife Extension three
days before the event to advise us of the auxiliary aid or service that
will be required. Extension programs serve of all ages regardless of
socioeconomic level, race, color, sex, religion, disability, or national
origin. The Texas A&M University System, U.S. Department of Agriculture,

Controlling Weeds in Lawns
Weeds can be grassy,broadleaf, sedge-like or even iris-like as is this
"Blue Eyed Grass." Herbicides can reduce weeds in your turf, but thick
sod keeps weeds out. Apply herbicides either before or several weeks
after first green-up but not during first greening up. Some herbicides
should not be used on certain grass types (read labels thoroughly).
Broadleaf weeds often can be controlled by using selective postemergence
blends that contain two or more herbicides. Formulations of 2,4-D or
blends with 2,4-D are available for most southern grasses, but be extra
careful using it on St. Augustine lawns. Examples of these products are
Bayer Advanced Southern Broadleaf, Ortho, Weed B Gon, Spectracide Weed
Stop, Trimec or Fertilome Weedfree Zone. Manor or Blade herbicides
easily control bahiagrass in Bermuda, centipede, St. Augustine or zoysia
grasses. Most labels will stress use on younger weeds growing in the
cooler midspring. A temporary discoloration of the lawn may occur. A
second application two or three weeks later is usually needed (sometimes
a third). Wet the foliage only; don’t saturate the soil. Control weeds
NOW, in spring! Mow herbicide-treated lawns several times without a bag
before collecting clippings for compost or mulch. Read and follow label
directions! Some products contain phenoxy (2,4-D) herbicides. Avoid
drift and keep spray away from gardens. Clean these sprayers thoroughly
with an ammonia solution if the sprayer is used with plant protectants
on good plants. It is best to buy a sprayer only kept for weed killers.
For Bermuda or zoysia lawns only, weed killers with MSMA or DSMA often
provide good selective control for most grassy and some broadleaf weeds.
Use these two arsenicals when weather is well warm as in June through
August. Preemergence herbicides can be applied to thin lawns to protect
them from weeds until they thicken and cover. These PreEs are not for
newly seeded areas or areas with growing weeds because they work on
seedlings only. Some home PreE are Greenlight Crabgrass Preventer,
StaGreen Crabex, Hi Yield Dimension, Scott’s Halts, Portrait, Atrazine
and Crabgrass Preventer 2. It is often said that your weed control is
only as good as your application, but you also must have an appropriate
material for the time, turf and target species. You can find this and
past articles on the web at www.mycountrytractor.com for your reference.

Kickin’ It Up in Cowtown
What happens when bad weather hits in January? The Southwestern
Livestock Exposition in Fort Worth of course! Leon County 4-H had great
representation at the Fort Worth Stock Show. Leon County 4-H members
competed in the Junior Breeding Beef Heifer and Steer Shows.
The 4-H and FFA members this year worked very hard and prepared very
well for the show.
Those exhibiting Junior Breeding Beef Heifers were McKinzie and Haley
Hamilton and Andy, Tobe, and Gatlynn Johnson all of Centerville 4-H.
Other 4-H members who exhibited included Amy Terry, Casey Helfenbein,
and CD Richardson.
Haley Hamilton’s Maine-Anjou heifer won Reserve Senior Champion Heifer.
The only thing sweeter than the cinnamon rolls at the Fort Worth
Livestock Show was the success of Leon County 4-H members who made the
sale with their market steer projects. The five 4-H members from Leon
County who tasted this sweet success include Justin Pistone placing 3rd
in class of Exotic heavy weight steers, Dylan Pistone placing 5th in
class of heavy weight American steers, Mason Jonas placing 10th in the
light weight class of Angus steers, Amy Terry placing 2nd in the light
weight Angus class, and Tyler Johnson placing 2nd in the heavy weight
American steer class and also being named Reserve Champion. Others
exhibiting market steers were Haley Hamilton, C. D. Richardson, and
Macey Jonas.
Several years ago with a few head of cattle Leon County 4-H began to
exhibit at the Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show Leon County’s
participation has grown and the exhibitors have become major competitors
in the show ring. These results have given plenty of reason for our
members to Kick it up!

Design your garden to meet your needs.
Careful planning reduces work and can make the garden more productive.
Planting seeds and plants at random frequently results in waste and
disappointment. Consider the selected method of cultivation in
designing your garden. Where the work is done with a tractor, long rows
are practical; but when cultivation is by hand, short rows give a sense
of accomplishment as work on each is completed. Consider the slope of
the land; run rows at right angles to the slope, especially on
sandy-textured soils that tend to wash and erode. Where the land is
uneven, contour the rows. Rows for vegetables with small plants
(carrots, onions, radishes, and others) can be closer together for hand
cultivation than for power equipment. Planting double rows or a broad
band on a bed can increase the yield from a small garden plot. Closely
spaced rows and vegetable plants help shade out weeds, but the close
spacing makes weeding difficult when plants are small. Closely spaced
plants reduce water loss from the soil surface by protecting the surface
from drying winds and hot sun. The reduced air movement, however, may
increase chances for diseases. Plant perennial vegetables like asparagus
where they won’t interfere with yearly land preparation. Plant
season-long vegetables like tomatoes, okra, peppers, and eggplant
together where they won’t interfere with short-term vegetables and
replanting. Plant corn, okra, pole beans, tomatoes, and other tall
vegetables so they won’t shade or interfere with the growth of shorter
vegetables. Sweet corn produces fuller ears when planted in a block of
rows than in a long single row because of better pollination. When
possible, group vegetables according to their lime and fertilizer needs,
and treat accordingly. southern peas, lima beans, snap beans, and
peanuts do not require as much nitrogen fertilizer as some other
vegetables.You can find this and past articles on the web at

Leon County 4-Hers Dash for Cash in San Antonio
The San Antonio Livestock Exposition, Inc. has always understood that education is vital to the American agriculture industry. For 59years, they have supported Texas youth by providing them a venue for competition and a market for their junior agricultural and livestock projects. This year Leon County 4-H was represented by a record number of exhibitors in the Market Poultry, Swine, Goat and Beef competitions. Also representing Leon County 4-H was the Junior 4-H livestock Judging Team which consist of Cody Oden, Brittany Beggs, Korley Wilson, and Daryl White. Representing the county with market poultry were 4-Hers Jana Richmond and Kourtney Hibbard. In the Market Swine division were Kourtney Clark, Edmund Clark, Kastin Martin, Nic Martin and Logan Cummings. In the Market Goats were Logan Freeman and Natalie Freeman. To close out the show those exhibiting Market Beef animals were A. T. Robertson, Makinzie Hamilton, Mason Jonas, Macey Jonas, Travis Powers, Tyler Johnson, Savannah Pistone, Dylon Pistone, and Justin Pistonie. This group of exhibitors were a fine representation of our county and three of them Justin Pistone, Dylon Pistone, and Nic Martin were chosen to participate in the premium sale for their efforts. All of these exhibitors will also have a shot at a scholarship from San Antonio when graduating from high school. In 1984, an innovative SALE Executive Committee began to think about encouraging 4-H and FFA high school students to continue their interest in agriculture by pursuing agricultural careers in college. So was born the San Antonio Livestock Exposition, Inc. Scholarship Fund which awarded fifteen four-year scholarships in the amount of $90,000 to students entering Texas colleges in the fall of 1984. From that modest beginning, SALE has expanded its program so that over 4,300 Texas college students have now benefited from the SALE Scholarship Fund. Currently, there are 70 Texas counties that are represented by active students in the program. To date, the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo educational commitment exceeds $87 million with a record $8.5 million committed in 2008 in the form of scholarships, grants, endowments, auctions, a calf scramble program and show premiums paid to youth. Awards and scholarships for this year will add more than 300 new scholars to the program. Currently, there are more than 1,300 active scholarship recipients. The scholarships are represented by students in 67 colleges and universities throughout Texas.

Although most lawns and gardens look brown and dead through the winter,
a lot of activity is taking place underground as plants prepare for the
growing seasons. Roots are continuing to grow and develop underground
when the plants are dormant aboveground. That is why experts recommend
fall planting for trees and bushes. Roots have time to establish before
spring when active top growth begins. Since beds look dead in the
winter, it can be easy to forget the life below and hurt this
underground growth. You should avoid any digging or cultivation around
plants that could damage the roots. If you plan to work in your garden
during the winter, mark where your bulbs and perennials are so you don’t
step on or uproot them. If possible, gently work in a layer of organic
matter such as compost, rotten sawdust or peat moss around established
plants. Adding organic matter will improve the structure and biological
activity of the soil. While beds are still bare of spring growth, cut
back old perennial foliage in preparation for new growth and remove
leaves or other debris on the crowns of the perennials. Take advantage
of any nice days to get outside and begin tidying up your landscape to
make way for the emerging spring bulbs and flowering plants that will
soon begin their spring show. By mid-February, spring bulbs were
blooming throughout the state, and bulb foliage had emerged and begun
actively growing. When plants are just beginning to come up, even
experienced gardeners can find it difficult to tell a weed from a
desirable plant. Over time, gardeners can become familiar with the
common weed seedlings, but novice gardeners can refer to weed
identification guides that give pictures or drawings of common weed
seedlings. Another way to solve the problem is to cultivate a
relationship with a more experienced gardener and invite that person
over for a little help with weed and flower seedling identification.
Gardeners who find themselves responsible for a landscape that someone
else planted should be patient through one full growing season to learn
what has been planted and where the sunny, shady, wet and dry places are
in the landscape. Waiting and observing the landscape also can help the
new homeowner determine where paths, seating areas, plant screens or
other landscape features are needed. Lawns look brown and bare through
the winter, but this is the perfect time to get work done on them. Wet
winters are ideal for checking drainage problems. Take pictures of where
water stands, and when it dries up, you can take care of those drainage
problems. Remove any leaves remaining on lawns as these hold moisture,
which attract insects and create ideal conditions for disease. Winter is
also a good time to do a soil test. You should do a soil test of your
lawn every three to four years. Our office can provide guidance to
help send the soil in to be tested at the Extension lab, and you will
get back information on your soil pH and recommendations on how to
improve it. Lime takes several months to react fully with the soil, so
winter months are a good time to apply lime if the soil test recommends
it. Clean and tune up lawnmowers and yard equipment in preparation for
the heavy use of spring and summer. Late winter or early spring also is
a great time for trapping any moles feeding in the lawn. Many weeds
germinate in the fall, grow through the winter and complete their life
cycle in early spring, so the best time to get rid of them is while they
are young and actively growing. It is also time to apply a pre-emergent
herbicide to prevent summer annual weeds that will soon be germinating.

Extension offices for how to control weeds and improve lawns. You can
