Look for local flower peak times, such as the Tyler, Texas, rose gardens or the Azalea Walk. You can also explore nearby food festivals. Remember to bring cash for tips, as it is gracious of the hosts to invite you into their personal spaces.

Your landscape needs about an inch of water per week. All you need is a simple rain gauge. I like to have several as wind can blow the rain and leave dry areas close to structures or fences. Then water just the areas that need it. Water saved!
Early April is the time to plant bare-root or container-grown roses and cool-season vegetables like peas. Once May arrives, you will see the first signs of flowers (and is that FRUIT on the vine?). Get started today!
Like leaves, old branches, and thatch. These may have insulated your lawn over the winter, but they need to be gone for summer. If you like to leave your lawn clippings, be sure the thatch is broken up so the spring rains can soak into the soil. A better summer is on the way!
April is known for rain. Prepare ahead of time by checking your gutters and clearing your downspouts. Don't forget to put your umbrellas where they are easily accessible! Rain ... handled!
