December 2010 To all, I hope everyone had a good time over the Thanksgiving holiday and let me one of the first to wish you a very Merry Christmas. I am excited to announce to everyone that we should see CPS start working on sidewalk paver repairs this week. CPS has told the board that, weather permitting, they should be completed in time for the Christmas holidays. As we watch them make repairs I ask that we all follow a few simple rules. Please keep your children away from any construction sites and do not cross any construction barriers. If you have any questions, please do not stop workers and ask questions. If you have a question, please forward to the board members. We have a contact person who will be in communication with CPS on a daily basis. As we approach the end of the year I want each of you to consider serving at some capacity with the Arbors by Creekwood HOA. Whether it's as block rep., committee, or board member. Folks, our community is large and cannot operate without you. Our annual meeting is in February and I would love to see folks lining up to volunteer. Once again, Mike Williamson |

Timely Tip for December Gardeners from Calloway’s Nursery: Working in your garden is an excellent escape during the holidays. It is a perfect time to plant trees and shrubs so they can develop a strong root system for next Spring. Cool weather color such as Pansies, Snapdragons, Cyclamen, Flowering Cabbage and Kale add splashes of color to your landscape. Spring flowering bulbs can be planted now once they have been properly chilled. Prune summer flowering shrubs and vines now. They will bloom on new growth. Remember-do not top your Crape myrtles! Simply prune to remove seed heads and shape. Trim evergreens only to reshape. Prepare for the cold weather before it hits! One of the best things you can do for your landscape plants is to provide a 2-to 3-inch layer of mulch. Mulching is necessary year round but during the colder periods it provides a layer of insulation for the roots. Secondly, water your landscape well before a cold spell. A drought stressed plant is more susceptible to freeze damage. Thirdly, for more tender plants, purchase frost cloth for extra protection. Frost cloth is a fabric which adds 3 to 4 degrees of warmth. Cover the plant completely allowing the edges to come all the way to the ground. We are utilizing the heat which radiates from the ground. Become a member of our Garden Club and you will receive email notices prior to any weather crisis. Visit www.mytexasgarden.com to join. This is also an excellent time to start planning changes or additions to your landscape. Bring a sketch or photo and let our Texas Certified Nursery Professionals assist you! Yard of the Month October yard of the month will be the last award until next year. See you then. Thank you to Calloway's Nursery for their contribution to |
