Self-defense program set for watch meeting
The March Bowie Neighborhood Watch meeting will be at 6 p.m. on March 10 in the Bowie Community Room, 307 N. Mason.
Guests for March will be staff from The Hill Self Defense & Krav Maga. This will be a hands-on self-defense demonstration event. You do not have to participate in the hands-on, but if you wish to join in wear loose clothing and bring water. Mats will be provided by the instructors.
Make your plans now to attend and learn some basic self-defense skills from these highly trained people. Please note this facility does not have seating available so if unable to sit on the floor bring your own seating.
As a card-carrying member of the Sons of the Republic of Texas, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the Shadowland Giant Lone Star hosta.
Make no mistake, I don’t believe this hosta was discovered in the shady soil under a Texas Madrone in Guadalupe National Park. It was actually a sport or morphological change in s hosta named Key West. That sounds like a fairy tale story all its own.
But Shadowland Giant Lone Star has winner written all over it. It is large and has thick leaves. When 12 straight days of rain brought out a rainforest of slugs and other forest floor creatures, the bane of hosta growers everywhere, it didn’t load up with holes but simply got more beautiful.

Supertunia Mini Vista Pink Cloud petunia is having its debut year or thanks to Susan Middleton Turner in south Georgia’s zone 9 Miller County it’s breakout year.
Susan’s house looks quite like a movie set, and you would have to think that Supertunia Mini Vista petunias play a prominent role.
Last year it was the award-winning Supertunia Mini Vista Indigo that dazzled with incredible color. The petunias were planted in banister baskets across the front of the house. I featured her photos in an article I wrote about Mini Vista petunias.
