SUMMARY: With fall officially here, it’s not too late to start your garden. Gardening experts suggest that now is the perfect time to plant greens like lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, and kale in Houston. A small container garden can yield fresh salads in just 30 days. For fall colors, consider planting Snap Dragons, Dianthus, Petunias, and Pentas. It’s also the time to prepare for spring by planting ranunculus and anemone bulbs in October and storing tulip bulbs in the fridge for eight weeks. Happy gardening! Make the most of this season and look forward to beautiful blooms by Halloween.

Now that we’re officially in the fall season, it may seem like it’s too late to sew your wild oats. However, it’s not.

SUMMARY: On November 5, Dallas voters will decide on numerous ballot propositions aimed at amending the city charter. Key items include salary increases for the mayor and city council, enhanced eminent domain powers, and measures to limit police enforcement of marijuana offenses.

SUMMARY: This morning, discussions focus on Mayor Whitmeyer’s proposal for a new city-sponsored encampment to address homelessness in Houston’s East End, where residents have reported a sharp rise in homelessness. Local community members, predominantly from a Latino working-class background, are advocating for the expansion of the civility ordinance to tackle issues like loitering and enhance safety. The East End Management District links the increase in homelessness to the relocation of people from downtown and the Greyhound terminal. Residents are urging for more authority for law enforcement to address safety concerns, while the mayor will provide updates on the encampment plan soon.
