Landscaping With Deer Resistant Plants Submitted by Jack Williams

Landscaping in Austin can be fun, but also quite challenging. The unique setting of Austin blends the urban city with the Hill Country of Central Texas. This mix gives the Austin landscape a look and feel unlike any other part of Texas. With wildlife and people living together, it is common to see deer in neighborhoods all around Austin. The deer can really give headaches to the novice landscaper. When landscaping in Austin, it is important to know the different types of shrubs and perennials you can use to make your yard beautiful and keep the deer from munching on your new plantings. Remember, the

plants mentioned are usually deer resistant, but deer will eat almost any plant if hungry in extreme drought conditions. Every landscape should have the right mix of evergreen shrubs and flowering perennials. This way, your garden doesn’t look dead in the winter and will provide color in the spring, summer and fall. Here are a couple of plants that I have had success with while landscaping in Austin. Evergreen Shrubs: • Silver Germander • Pineapple Guava • Dwarf Yaupon • Cotoneaster

• Upright and Trailing Rosemary • Bicolor and African Iris • Jerusalem Sage Flowering Perennials: • Salvia species (Several varieties and colors to choose from--I like 'Hot Lips', Mexican Bush Sage and Salvia Greggii) • Indigo Spires • 4 Nerve Daisy • Copper Canyon Daisy • Turk's Cap • Bat Face Cuphea • Yellow Bell

want to plant a Pineapple Guava in front of a window or an Upright Rosemary too close to a sidewalk--allow for adequate growth. If not, the plants will overwhelm the space and crowd your garden. By planning ahead and before you begin landscaping in Austin, you will save valuable time, money AND keep deer from eating your plants!

These shrubs and perennials will vary in height and texture, so be sure to plant in the right location. For example, you don’t

Best of luck and happy gardening.

Tips for Mastering the Farmers’ Market By Melanie Dragger, M.Com.

Many people are taking steps to improve their health and the environment by eating organically grown and raised foods. While some people are selecting organic items at their local grocery store, farmers’ markets are becoming increasingly popular. Over the past year, according to the Department of Agriculture, the number of farmers’ markets in the U.S. increased by 858, or 16 percent, from 5,274 in 2009 to 6,132 in 2010. When the USDA first began tracking farmers’ markets in 1994, there were only 1,755 markets. Outside of growing your own produce and raising your own livestock, shopping at a farmers’ market is the best way to obtain fresh, local, and seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs, as well as farm-fresh eggs, meat, poultry, and dairy products. Many farmers’ markets also offer artisan breads, honey, and seasonal jams, jellies, and preserves. Below are tips to help you master your local farmers’ market: 1. Do Your Research – Before heading to the market, research what produce is in season in your area. Since all products sold at a farmer’s market may not be organic, and some organic products sold may not be certified, familiarize yourself with the organic certification process and product labeling. Information on the USDA’s National Organic Program can be found at http://www. ams.usda.gov/nop. 2. Bring Your Own Containers – While some vendors have bags and boxes available for customers, bringing your own containers is the best way to ensure you will be able to transport and protect your purchases properly. Additionally, recycling containers helps the environment by reducing the number of natural resources used to produce new ones. 3. Bring Cash – Swing by your bank or ATM before hitting the farmers’ market. Most vendors do not accept checks or credit cards. Bring small bills, since it may be difficult for some vendors to make change. 4. Go Early or Go Late – The best items usually go first, so try to get to the market early. However, before making a purchase, take a quick trip down the aisles, since prices can vary greatly among vendors. If you can’t make it to the market when it first opens, go at the end of the market day to catch deals from vendors trying to unload their remaining products. 5. Speak with Vendors – Shopping at a farmers’ market allows you an opportunity to speak directly with growers and farmers. Not familiar with Swiss chard? Looking for a new way to prepare eggplant? Most vendors love to share their knowledge, including discussing their production methods, providing storage and transportation advice, and sharing recipes and cooking tips.

Around Bee Cave Tips for Mastering the Farmers' Market - (Continued from Page 11) Buying organic products at your local farmers’ market offers numerous benefits, including boosting the local economy, reducing the amount of toxic chemicals that enter your body and the environment, and decreasing the amount of fossil fuels used to transport products to consumers. However, organic products can be more expensive than conventionally grown and raised products, and some organic products may be difficult to find in some areas. If going 100% organic is not feasible, use the following list as a guide. According to the 2010 report of the Environmental Working Group, a non-profit organization specializing in research and advocacy related to public health and the environment, these 12 fruits and vegetables consistently contained the highest amount of pesticides when conventionally grown, and should be consumed in organic form when possible: 1. Celery 2. Peaches 3. Strawberries 4. Apples 5. Blueberries (domestic) 6. Nectarines 7. Sweet Bell Peppers 8. Spinach 9. Cherries

10. Kale/Collard Greens 11. Potatoes 12. Grapes (imported)

The Wildflowers Choral Group Of Lake Travis Can Entertain At Your Next Meeting Or Special Event Submitted by Judy Donohue

The Wildflowers, a local women’s barbershop-style singing group, are looking for opportunities to share their music with the community. This choral group was formed nine years ago for women from the Lake Travis area who love to sing and perform acapella. Many of the members have extensive musical training and perform in various choral groups around central Texas. This group of quality and beautiful female voices has grown to 35 members and has a rapidly expanding repertoire. The Wildflower’s repertoire includes many old favorites as well as patriotic songs and Christmas Carols. The Wildflowers simply love singing a wide variety of songs—songs their audiences love and often join them in singing. Performances with beautiful harmonies sung a capella (without musical accompaniment) range in length from 20 to 35 minutes. Just to name a few of their performances, the Wildflowers have sung at the Hill Country Galleria, the LAC Membership Appreciation Breakfast, the Lakeway Women’s Golf Association Holiday Luncheon, The Summit, and the Lakeway Sing Alongs Christmas Show. On April 8th at 6:30 pm, a performance is planned for the Lake Travis Democratic Club and a patriot show is planned in the near future with the Lake Travis Republican Club.

This unique and special choral group was first formed in 2002, tapping local singers from the Emmaus Choir, the Sing Alongs, and the Lakeway Players. The Wildflowers is under the direction of David Beussman, a professional choral director with with barbershop and quartet experience. Under David’s direction and with a rigorous rehearsal schedule, the Wildflowers have developed the style and character of a highly skilled and well-rehearsed chorus. The Wildflower Chorus is always looking for opportunities to share their music. If your organization, or special event wishes to have the Wildflowers perform, please contact Ernie Clay at 608-0152 or Martha Kubala at 261-6148. The group is eager to perform at your meeting or event whether big or small. Depending on their availability and the scale of the gathering, The Wildflowers can even perform at a special gathering or celebration. Wildflowers Chorus performances are free of charge. As you plan your events, meetings, and celebrations for this year, consider adding a special touch by including a performance by the Wildflowers Chorus of Lake Travis. (Continued on Page 14)

ROARIN’ 20’S SHOW COMNG TO LAKEWAY What do you know about the decade known as the “Roarin’ ‘20s”? Most of us were not born then, but we have heard a lot about that frenetic time when “things, they were a-changin’.” You may have heard your parents or grandparents talking about the crazy things that went on in this era when jazz was hot, prohibition and speakeasies were in, and everybody was having a good time. And you probably know a lot of the songs made popular in the ‘20s—songs that were fun to sing, with bouncy rhythms that stirred everybody up to do the new dances that became popular then. The Sing Along Chorus, all 80+ of them, are busy learning songs and dances from this era so that they can bring it to life on the Lakeway Activity Center stage during their spring Dinner/Show, “The Roaring Twenties.” The show is at 6:30 on three nights: Thursday, April 28; Friday, April 29; & Saturday, April 30. Tickets are $25, and there is reserved seating for dinner and the show. The Sing Along shows are always sell-outs, so get your tickets early. Call Joann Anderson, 261-3133, for more information or to reserve your tickets.
