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 (Apr. 17)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.00 feet at pool. Hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The Hybrids and Whitebass have started schooling in water from 6-14 feet at the dam and any wind blown shallow point or seawall. Late evening schooling action is also happening in shallow coves and points throughout the lake. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 8-16 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
