Workshops To Help You Grow Your Own @Urban Harvest

Your taste buds could stop reminiscing about how much tastier food once was, if you start growing some of your own food. There is no better place to grow something to eat than right in your own backyard.

A container garden, a couple of fruit or nut trees, or maybe just a few herbs anything edible that you can share with friends, family and others in the community.

If need a few pointers on getting started, contact the good folks over at Urban Harvest about their monthly classes where you can learn garden design, irrigation, soil fertility and more.

That way, you'll enjoy the fruits of your labor from your fertile, productive garden instead of morphing into a frustrated gardening critic.

African American History In Houston-InterActive Theater


The Interactive Theater serves up a piece of African American history this month, performing "Harriet Tubman's Freedom Train".

The historical drama may seem pale in comparison with the real life adventures of Harriet Tubman a fearless runaway slave, who became a heroine by helping hundreds of slaves free themselves from bondage through clandestine trails and backroads, better known as the underground railroad.

A virtually undetected part of the southern escape route ran from Texas to Mexico, little if any information exists about how it functioned or how many African Americans quietly blended into the Mexican populace during the mid-1800's.

African American history month in Houston should always bare reminders of the harrowing adventures of Tubman and the other conductors and safe havens that operated along the underground railroad.
