Howdy to all!
Well, the days are getting longer, and the nights are getting warmer. You know what that means.
The time to get those watermelons, sweet potatoes and juicy red tomatoes planted is just around the corner.
If you are new to gardening, no sweat. The Bandera Public Library has you covered. We have an entire collection of gardening books, written just for our hotter than hades summer weather.
“Texas: Fruit and Vegetable Gardening” by Greg Grant and “Texas: Month-By-Month Gardening” by Robert Richter are two such titles that contain a whole heap of good information for those so inclined.
Also, make sure you check out our Seed Exchange out front! Take some if you need some and leave some if you have extra.
If you run into a real head-scratcher out there digging around in the compost, then check out Gardening and Horticulture on our TexShare Databases. This database contains millions of articles on just about everything related to horticulture.

I’d also like to take a quick second to say thank you to all the folks that made the Mardi Gras library fundraiser such a resounding success!
A special thanks goes out to Larry Rubin and staff at Tractor Supply as well as Lowes Market for supporting our cause.
Similarly, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank the Friends of the Library, library board members, library volunteers, and library staff for all the hard work that went into making this event a reality. Finally, a big thank you to the folks that stopped by and made generous donations. It was a hoot, and we’ll see you next year. Same time same place.
Until next time, happy reading!
