“Herbs for our Area and How to Use Them”
Gayle Sutherland, from the Heritage Herb Club of Plano will talk about the best herbs to plant in our gardens and how to use them.
The Allen Garden Club meets at 102 N. Allen Drive, Allen—the little blue-gray house on the west side of Allen Drive between McDermott and Main. Parking is in the back and on the south side of the building.
Garden tips for May:
· Continue to plant annual color. You can also plant perennials, shrubs, roses, etc. this month.
· Turn your sprinklers off of their automatic settings. Always run them manually if we have a dry period which is a couple of weeks without rain to supplement between rainfall.
· Hand water new plants until they are established as needed.
· Look out for cankerworms on your trees. Treat them with BT—Bacillus Thurengiensis. Also look out for scale on your crape myrtles and other susceptible shrubs. Spray them with horticultural oil, but only on a cloudy day in the evening so you don’t damage your plants.
· Most importantly—GO OUTSIDE WITH YOUR FAMILY! Enjoy the beautiful weather and all that nature has to offer this month!
Texas Gold Columbine is an excellent plant for partly shady areas of the garden.
