Here’s what to do in your yard in May – Abilene Reporter-News

Jackie Sledge| Big Country Master Gardeners

Weve all heard the old saying that April showers bring May flowers.

We havent had many April showers this year, but that doesnt mean that we cant have beautiful landscapes in May - if we take care of the necessary tasks to make that happen.

Im checking my list of plans for the landscape and using the monthly tasks from "Lone Star Gardening" by Neil Sperry and "Texas Garden Almanac" by Doug Welsh to get the lawn and flower beds in good shape for the year.

BCMGA will offer several free education programs in May.

There will be a program on Rainwater Harvesting at 10 a.m. Friday at the Abilene Public Library Main Location. We also will have the BCMGA Saturday Seminar from 9 a.m.-noon May 27 in the Taylor County Extension Office Conference Room, and the topic is Pests in the Garden.

If you have any questions, call the Taylor County Extension Office at 325-672-6048 or email us at mgardeners@yahoo.com. We hope you will like us on Facebook and visit bcmgtx.org for all Big Country Master Gardener information and events.
