Timely Tip for March Gardeners - From Calloway’s Nursery
This is the year to grow your own fruits and vegetables! Our most popular clinic in 2009 was our “Spring Vegetables and Herbs” clinic and we will be hosting two clinics on that topic in March.
Many positive things come from growing a garden. Working in a garden can help to relieve stress and increase your overall activity level. Sunlight can improve sleep, deter depression and promote a stronger immune system. Growing your own garden allows you to control what fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides are used during the raising of your crops. But, most importantly, vegetables and fruits grown in a home garden tend to be more flavorful and nutritious!

Fall Lawn Care
Research has proven that your Fall lawn feeding is one of the most important ones of the year! Your lawn has just gone through the stressful summer months and needs nutrients for rebuilding. Calloway's Premium Lawn Food supplies three sources of nitrogen. The first source provides a quick shot of nitrogen to give your lawn a nice greening effect. The other two are control-released to provide a consistent supply of nitrogen over the next several months. The 21-5-10 formula also supplies the needed nutrients to stimulate root development, make your grass hardier for the Winter months and provide food for next Spring's growth!
Apply it this month or the first of October. For those who are organic gardeners, Calloway's Organic Fertilizer contains seven food grade meals and can also be applied now.
This is also the time to apply pre-emergents to prevent broadleaf and grassy weed seeds from sprouting over Winter and Spring. Apply Greenlight Crabgrass Preventer with Dimension for grassy weeds and Portrait for those pesky broadleaf weeds. For our organic gardeners, use Corn Gluten Meal as a natural pre-emergent.
So, don't kick back and settle into football season quite yet-apply your fertilizers and pre-emergents now and enjoy your own green field next Spring!

Security systems are designed to safeguard homeowners, but during the summer months, it's often the security systems themselves that need protection.

In some cases, the homeowner is left paying for two separate alarm systems, or a system that may not work at all. The Texas Department of Public Safety said it is actively working cases in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin after reports of young solicitors aggressively marketing alarm services in those communities without a license. And on Friday, North Richland Hills police issued a warning to residents there after complaints that solicitors were going door to door claiming that the city had endorsed a certain alarm company, something police officials said the city does not do.
