Grow your own vegetables this fall




It’s time to start planning for fall gardens.

The Henderson County Master Gardener Association will host a free lecture, “Fall Gardening,” at the Clint W. Murchison Memorial Library in Athens Tuesday, July 18, 2017, at 5:30 p.m. The library is at 121 S. Prairieville St.

Vegetables such as beans, broccoli, cabbage, Brussel Sprouts, cantaloupes, carrots, cauliflower, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, lettuce, peas, pumpkins, radishes, spinach, squash, tomatoes and others grow well in East Texas in the fall.

Gardeners note that preparation for fall gardens needs to begin in the summer. Master Gardener Robert Erickson will share a planting schedule with the audience, along with tips for both organic and conventional gardening.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 2)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 87 degrees; 0.07 feet above pool. Big numbers of white bass and several trophy-class hybrid stripers have hit the deck. We are consistently finding the best action in 15–22 feet of water. Good go-to setups include a variety of slabs, sometimes paired with 2–3 jigs above, and the always-reliable yellow bladed jig using the proven saw tooth retrieve technique. Trolling spoons at 3 mph in 13–17 feet of water absolutely crushed the white bass. Water temperatures are currently holding around 83 degrees and will continue to rise as summer heats up over the next couple of weeks. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish are good anchoring on humps in 12-24 feet using small shad or cut shad on the bottom. Drifting larger cut bait like carp, drum or big gizzard shad on flats in 10-25 feet all around the lake. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures. Anticipate increased boater traffic this weekend as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day.
