The Round Rock Public Library will offer a garden class from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21. The topic this month is planning your summer garden.

Summers in Texas are trying in even the best of conditions.  For those wanting to continue their garden, it sometimes seems futile.  But there are ways to minimize the heartburn, sunburn, and heat stress while maximizing your garden yield.  

Come join us for a discussion of how to make the most of the worst time in Texas. Discover some simple ways to do less work, spend less time in the heat, save water and still make it worth your while to battle the weather.  

Are you thinking of just abandoning the garden until the weather cools? That could be a costly choice! If you want to skip the heat entirely, stop by to find out how to do so without having to start over in the fall with poor soil.
