The 46th annual National Hunting and Fishing Day (NHFD) will be this Saturday, September 22, when we will recognize the historical and ongoing contributions of our state’s original conservationists – sportsmen and women. As a co-chair of the bipartisan and bicameral Louisiana Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus, and as a member of the 48-state National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses, I join my fellow Caucus Co-Chairs Rep. Clay Schexnayder and Sen. Gerald Long in celebrating our time-honored traditions of hunting and angling in the Sportsmen’s Paradise.

One of the most care free gardening rewards is planting spring flowering bulbs.

Once planted these plants can give a gardener years of beautiful blooms.

October and November are the months we should plants these bulbs. Garden centers will start stocking bulbs soon or they can be ordered from seed companies.  Make sure you select healthy, mature, disease free bulbs. Generally the larger the bulb the larger the bloom.  Most spring flowering bulbs prefer a sunny, or partial shaded location in a well-drained soil.
