Ellis County Republican Women presented a forum Monday night at the Waxahachie Civic Center to introduce candidates running for offices in Ellis County and for State Representatives on the Republican ticket in March.Each candidate was allowed three minutes to introduce themselves and then each candidate responded to three questions with one minute to respond. The three questions were the same for each candidate:
Wisteria is a spring bloom I covet. I know others feel that way, too. People are crazy for the vine. Even when they don’t blossom as bountifully as we want, we’re grateful to see even a few of those lovely fronds dripping like a delectable fruit from a tree or an arbor we’ve trained it on.Maybe it’s strange to be discussing wisteria which, at least here in Ennis, doesn’t bloom until late March. There are some stragglers around town that last into April.
Protect your plants from winter weatherFor the majority of gardening enthusiasts, gardening is a warm weather activity. While some people live in climates that make it possible to enjoy gardening year-round, those who don’t often lament the end of the gardening season.
The arrival of spring is a welcome occurrence for many people. Budding flowers are among the harbingers of spring. Spring flowers can revitalize winter-weary people just when they need it most — and provide reassurance that brighter, warmer and longer hours of sunlight are just around the corner.Cold-tolerant flowers are hardy enough to start blooming before the last frosts have dissipated. Other flowers will begin to fill in as days warm a little bit more, according to Better Homes and Gardens. Home gardeners looking to warm up their gardens with early blooms can use these flowers in their early-season containers, window boxes and planting beds.
