EDITOR S
pringtime is a season Of hope and joy and cheer. There’s beauty all around us
To see and touch and hear. So, no matter how downhearted And discouraged we may be, New hope is born when we behold Leaves on a budding tree, Or when we see a timid flower Push through the frozen sod And open wide in glad surprise Its petaled eyes to God, For this is just God saying, “Lift up your eyes to Me, And the bleakness of your spirit, Like the budding Springtime tree, Will lose its wintry darkness And your heavy heart will sing” For God never sends the Winter Without the joy of Spring. ~ Helen Steiner Rice xo,

helby County has not been the same since December of 2013 when Jheri-Lynn McSwain moved to our county and took the position as Shelby County Extension Agent for Family and Community Health. Good things come in small packages,
and Jheri-Lynn has proved this to be true by her outstanding commitment to the citizens of Shelby County.
Born in Dallas, Jheri-Lynn was the first-born child to a military family. Her father
served for twenty years. She laughed as she said that she could have been born in Panama, except that her mother didn’t want to deliver her first child in a foreign country. When Jheri-Lynn was a few days old, her mother returned to Panama to join her father where they lived until she was about three years old.
She spent most of her

Without a permanent facility, it was hard to keep leaders and youth. Having a newly remodeled facility in the old Center Elementary School helped to encourage great leadership, and tripled the enrollment to the current one hundred fifty eight, way beyond their current numbers.
“We have good strong leaders. I

That was really an eye opener for us to because this is an agriculture based community which is wonderful, but then we have that handful of people that function on the engineering, technical side of things. We were not expecting the number of kids that showed up. We have some great leaders that recently moved from Houston that are engineering consultants with experience in aircraft,” Jheri-Lynn said.
Other youth-oriented programs include
the Kids’ Healthy Cooking Camp, which, because of popularity, has a waiting list for kids who love cooking. An additional classroom was also obtained and remodeled for a taxidermy project, where young people learn to do mounting of small animals. Jheri-Lynn also attended a Quilt of Valor presentation in Nebraska and shared the ideas locally.

Currently, there are gardens at third grade classes at Center Elementary, as well as plans to start gardens at F. L. Moffett for younger kids. Excelsior School District have two garden beds and Shelbyville Schools have four garden beds. This year, Center Intermediate fourth and fifth grade will have gardens, with more than three hundred-ninety-six students working it as a leadership project in the fourth and fifth grade levels. Jheri-Lynn visits every other week to the science club meeting and presents the lessons to club members, who then return to the classrooms and present lessons to their classmates in school as a leadership project.

There are other projects in Shelby County that you will see Jheri-Lynn involved in, including the community gardens and many more.
Reflecting on her education and past,
Jheri-Lynn McSwain had no idea she would be so much an integral part of Shelby County, Texas. Her goal following her graduation from Texas A&M was to work with animals.
“That’s what I wanted to do, and to

any kinds of insects feed on garden plants. Insect pests damage plants in two ways. Some chew holes in the leaves, stems, roots or fruit, and some stick their beaks into the plants and suck out plant juices. Insects attack garden plants at all times of the year. Some insects will feed on sprouting seed and young seedlings. Others feed on the growing plant or on the mature plant and its fruit. Kinds of Insects The insects that feed on garden plants can be divided into two main groups: the sucking and the chewing insects. These are some of the most common insect pests and the damage they cause. Recognizing insect problems A good gardener must learn to recogÂŹnize insect problems. To know when inÂŹsects are damaging your plants, watch for anything that does not look normal. The following symptoms will help you recognize insect problems.
1. Plants are stunted and do not grow properly. 2. Plants have deformed or damaged leaves. 3. Plants look yellow or light in color. 4. Plants look wilted and droopy
If your plants show any of these symptoms, examine each plant closely for insects. Also examine the soil near the plant base, as many insects drop and hide there when disturbed.

Controlling insects Many insects can be managed without using pesticides, but this cultural control requires extra time and effort. It may also result in slight damage to your plants. Some of the cultural methods you can use to prevent or control insect damage are: 1. Keep weeds and grass pulled out of the garden. Mow the area around the garden. 2. Plant varieties that grow well in your area. 3. Apply the correct amount of fertil¬izer and water when needed. 4. When you have picked all the fruit, destroy the old plants by removing them or plowing them under. 5. You can wash off some insects, such as aphids and spider mites, with a water hose. 6. You may hand-pick some insects or egg masses from the plant to pre¬vent damage. Chemical control of insects often may be necessary. For best results, treat insects before large numbers build up in the gar¬den. Dusts or sprays provide good control. Before you buy a pesticide, read the label to see if it is recommended for the pest and plants you want to treat.
Insects attack garden plants at all times of the year.
Before you use a pesticide, read the label to see how much you should use. Read all infor¬mation on the label and follow all direc¬tions. All insecticides are poisonous, so han¬dle them with care and keep them away from children and pets. Some insecticides recommended for home vegetable gardens:

ilantro is in the same family as parsley and is originally from Greece. Both its fresh green leaves and its seeds are used in many dishes, from Mexican food to Thai food. Cilantro leaves are used fresh in salads, salsa, and meat dishes, and can add a little zest to an omelet. The seeds, which are referred to as coriander, have a distinct flavor similar to orange and are used in pastries,sausage, and cooked fruit, and as an important ingredient in pickling spice and curry powder. Coriander oil is purported to have a medicinal quality and reduce flatulence. Varieties • Long Standing • Slo Bolt • Leisure
February for an April harvest and again in September for a November harvest. Weekly plantings will ensure that you have a continuous crop. To establish cilantro from seeds, set the seeds in a soft, well-tilled, and composted soil in January or February for a spring crop or in September for a fall crop. Set the seeds 2 inches apart in rows 12 to 15 inches apart if you are planning to harvest cilantro leaves. If you plan to harvest the seeds, plant the seeds 8 inches apart in rows 15 inches apart. For both uses, the seed depth should be about ¼ to ½ inches. There are about 2,000 seeds per ounce, so home gardeners will not need to purchase a lot of seeds for each season.
Soil preparation Cilantro prefers a light, well-drained, moderately fertile loam or sandy soil, but it will tolerate many soils as long as nutrient levels and moisture are monitored. Planting Cilantro is a cool-season crop that does best at temperatures between 50 and 85 degrees F. It can tolerate temperatures as low as 10 degrees F, but if temperatures exceed 85 degrees F it will start to bolt. In Texas, the best time to plant cilantro is in March-April 2018 |
Figure 1. The seeds of the cilantro plant are known as coriander. naturaltexan.net | 22
Fertilizing Cilantro should be fertilized twice. Apply ½ teaspoon of ammonium nitrate (34-0-0) or urea (21-0-0) per square foot. Watering The plant’s most critical need for water occurs during seedling germination and establishment. After the plants become established, they do not need much water. Disease
Weeds
Harvesting Cilantro leaves are ready to harvest 45 to 70 days after seeding. Cut exterior leaves once they reach 4 to 6 inches long. Or, cut the whole plant about 1 to 2 inches above the soil level to use both small and large leaves. Information given herein is for educational purposes only.
