VEGETABLE GARDEN
If you’ve been planning a small fall vegetable garden, now is the time to start digging Story by Get Lost Houston
“Plant your garden as early in the fall as possible so the vegetables will grow and mature during ideal conditions. If planting from seed, the window of opportunity is short. Seed planting in Houston lasts through mid-September. Using
Texas gardeners can produce tasty, nutritious vegetables year-round. To be a successful gardener, you will need to follow some basic rules and make practical decisions. Although some urban gardeners have little choice, selecting a garden site is imperative. The ideal garden area gets nearly full sun and has deep, welldrained, fertile soil. It should be near a water outlet but not close to competing shrubs or trees. Suzan Galvan, co-owner of In the Garden, a family-owned Houston nursery and emporium, offers tips and suggestions below for getting your fall garden started and keeping it thriving!
transplants rather than seeds allows crops to mature earlier and extends the productive period.”
— Suzan Galvan, co-owner of In the Garden
SOIL PREPARATION Having fertile, well-drained soil is the key to success. If your garden soil has a heavy clay base it will need to be amended prior to planting. Adding organic matter, such as sand or gypsum will improve aeration by breaking up the soil, allowing drainage. Other products on the market

have the same effect. No matter your choice of products, do not skip this step if your soil is clay based. Organic matter also improves sandy soils. Seeds germinate better in well-prepared soil and thorough soil preparation makes planting and caring for crops much easier. PLANTING Plant your garden as early in the fall as possible so the vegetables will grow and mature during ideal conditions. If planting from seed, the window of opportunity is short. Seed planting in Houston lasts through mid-September. Using transplants rather than seeds allows crops to mature earlier and extends the productive period. Be careful not to plant transplants too deep or too shallow, especially if plants are in containers such as peat pots. Planting too deep can cause root rot and planting too shallow may cause roots to dry out. However, when planting tomatoes, they will perform better if deeply planted. Just remove some of the lower leaf branches and make sure the lowest leaf does not touch the soil. Some plants can be directly planted in biodegradable peat pot containers. VEGETABLE TRANSPLANTS September is your last chance to get tomatoes and pepper transplants in the ground. Cool-season vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, mustard, lettuce, and kohlrabi can be planted September through January as transplants.
Make sure your garden site gets six hours of direct sun. When transplanting plants such as tomatoes or peppers, don’t forget to add a starter solution (available at local nurseries). OTHER MUST DO’S FOR FALL Refresh Container Gardens: Fall is in the air! Refresh container gardens with snapdragons, dianthus, mums, petunias, lobelia, crotons, etc. Make sure to add soil additives to your containers. Fertilization is crucial for long-time blooms. Watering: Maintain watering on newly planted seeds and transplants and use a rain wand to avoid disturbing plants with small root systems. On St. Augustine and other lawns, water well but less often. With shorter days and cooler nights, begin to reduce the amount of water applied as needed. Avoid watering in the evenings to prevent fungal diseases. Mulch, Mulch, Mulch: Mulching keeps plant roots cooler, weed seeds at bay and conserves water. Apply 3-inches deep around trees and shrubs. Add compost around annuals, herbs, and vegetables. Do not mound mulch against the base of a plant as this only invites insect and fungus to come in contact with the crown of plants. Happy Gardening!

THE PRIMACY OF GARDENS
Houston-based Architecture Firm Embarks on Progressive Texas Residence with Limited Yard Space Photos by Richard Vohuy Houston architects Joe and Gail Adams of Adams Architects, Inc. recently aligned with their former clients from Houston’s Montrose District for another project together—this one in Houston’s alter-ego city, Dallas, Texas. The primacy of the gardens over the residence itself was stated as the client’s goal, which encouraged the architects to approach the problem holistically, addressing “garden” as something bigger and more significant as outdoor “rooms,” rather than just left-over real estate. The challenge came in with the client’s new skinny Dallas property bordering the Katy Trail, an urban pedestrian hikers’ and bicyclists’ linear public park situated in the Shee Shee Turtle Creek Uptown district of Dallas. Adams Architects responded to their client’s desires with a long, thin, elegant residence design point-of-departure allowing the gardens to rule and the residence to open to the Eastern benign Texas light and close to the Western harsh Texas light. Dynamism reigns in this modestly sized scheme as it is the sheering effect of the formal, diagonal disposition of the residence proper along its long,
narrow axis that gets the eye moving and rotating. Triangularly shaped side gardens in lieu of rectangular front and back “yards” emerged and yield one long side garden with due eastern-exposure as a so-called rear garden and one long side garden with due western-exposure as a front garden., Both front and rear triangular gardens intentionally benefit from the perceptually elongating visual phenomena of “forced-perspective,” as these gardens appear to be deeper, longer, and more extensive than they are. The resulting unique, triangularly shaped pool culminating in an artesian well fountain particularly benefits from this converging geometry, making the pool appear longer and more elegant than the confined outdoor space would allow. “In short, this something of a sow’s-ear site turned into a silk-purse in the heart of one of Dallas’ premier silk-stocking residential districts, allowing all rooms to be flooded with defuse, east-facing, North Texas natural light,” says Joe Adams of Adams Architects. With the Houston architects’ bravado to experiment a little more
House & Home Get Lost Houston | Vol. 1 Issue 2 | GetLostHouston.com
with each new project, together with the clients’ willing spirit, the amalgam adds up to a certain hybrid vigor emerging from this Houston-to-Dallas exercise in creative, cultural cross-fertilization. Although not in the Dallas neighborhood of Deep Ellum proper, the attitude of invoking that slightly edgy neighborhood character imported into this heavily treed micro-climate bordering the Katy Trail in upscale Dallas, was a subliminal motivation for design. Steel, stone, spunk, and of course light, are the primary ingredients of this simple but culturally progressive and provocative work of residential architecture. “They can get up and do yoga or make coffee while they’re getting ready for the day,” he adds.

Whether you’re an interior designer in search of a barley wood occasional table, a homeowner who can’t resist primitives or European antiques, or you just love the hunt for unique vintage finds, “Antique Weeks in Texas” is your one-stop shop for all things wonderful. From year-round mainstays to the nomadic dealers who find refuge at places like The Big Red Barn, Marburger Farms and The Arbors, all roads lead to antiquing in Brenham, Burton, Carmine, Fayetteville, La Grange, Round Top and Warrenton.

Things are a bit different this time around and we’re not sure the Junk-O-Rama Prom is happening. Some of our favorite vendors didn’t survive the pandemic. Fayette and Lee County officials have declared that the shows must go on — and that’s a good thing — but be prepared to wear masks and social distance if the shopkeepers make that request. And while Antique Weeks technically run from mid-October through the end of the month, each individual vendor keeps its own dates. Check our handy guide for the details and call ahead before charting your course. Our advice is to wear comfy shoes, stay hydrated, bring cash and shop local. Keep a list of what you’re looking for and bring along a tape measure to make sure it will fit in your space. And if you see something that you absolutely, positively love, better buy it on the spot before somebody else grabs it!

SEASONAL
SIPS
Pluck Mint, Squeeze Lemons and Garnish Your Craft Cocktail with Fragrant Thyme
Story by Robin Barr Sussman • Photo by Julie Soefer
Gardening in Texas means bundles of fragrant basil, fresh mint, and the anticipation of fall citrus—hello Ruby Red grapefruit and Meyer lemons! Shake or stir your own cocktail at home—we’ve provided a coveted recipe below—or pull up a chair at one of these neighborhood spots for the sip of the season. Our online Lemon Vinaigrette bonus recipe is a natural enhancer for any of your home creations!
RELISH All ten invigorating cocktails ($12 each) on the Relish menu include local ingredients from the garden. There’s even a Garden Party cocktail prepared with Tito’s vodka, rosemary, jalapeno shrub and lemon. The pretty Rosé Spritz floats fresh strawberries with Lillet rosé aperitif, sparkling rosé and basil. Also refreshing is the slushy Salty Dog starring Deep Eddy grapefruit vodka, rosemary, jalapeno shrub, preserved orange and a chili salt rim. 2810 Westheimer Rd., 713-599-1960, relishhouston.com
JULEP founder Alba Huerta, one of the most celebrated mixologists in the country, recently unveiled her first new bar menu since the pandemic. Her 10 original cocktails ($12$14) are each made with migrant ingredients and thrive on freshness and flavor. Nightshade Apero combines red bell pepper, lemon, thyme, white port, Manzanilla, and tonic. The impressive food menu—try the Texas tomato pie—also has been updated with French onion dip, Oyster Picnic, and a hefty house burger. Julep, a Houston original, celebrated its seven-year anniversary this summer. 1919 Washington Ave., 832-371-7715, julephouston.com
SPACE COWBOY The Sun Soaked on Montie Beach cocktail ($10) was a hit from day one at Space Cowboy bar in the still new Heights House Hotel. Just like a tropical vacation, get your passion fruit on with fresh ginger, mint and two different rums. Featuring a pool adjacent to the 2,000-squarefoot patio, this newcomer is part staycation getaway, part local watering hole. Let’s get this party started! 100 W Cavalcade St., 713-869-7121, heightshousehotel.com

A A day day LIFE IN THE
tors because I had the live experience. My first job was in the Rio Grande Valley as a reporter for KRGV-Channel 5. Where was your first anchor job? I was reporting in South Texas for three years and applied in other markets. Los Angeles’ CBS KCAL (number two in the market) offered me a job as a freelance reporter where I worked for six years. I became a weekend anchor for FOX26 when I moved to Houston. It’s all about timing, patience, talent and having a little luck! I’ve been flexible with moving from city to city to further my career. What are some of the most memorable news moments you’ve covered? In Houston, 2017 was a huge year for the Super Bowl, followed by Hurricane Harvey—everybody had a story about the devastating flooding. Also, it was amazing covering all seven games at The World Series, and of course, the Oscars and Emmy red carpet events in LA.
RITA GARCIA By Robin Barr Sussman
Latina trailblazer Rita Garcia has a flair for storytelling, a welcoming wit and an endearing personality. Garcia is back in Houston from Good Day Los Angeles to co-anchor the weekday morning news on ABC-13 replacing Tom Koch who retired after 39 years. She was featured in the Los Angeles Times as the first morning news anchor in LA to broadcast an entire live morning newscast from home during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. We caught up with Garcia to hear about her stellar career. When did your passion for media begin? My mom gave me a tape recorder in elementary school and I enjoyed playing it back and critiquing myself to learn how to project my voice. When I was 15, I developed an interest in radio broadcasting and started announcing on our high school radio program at Fresnos High School in the Rio Grande Valley where I grew up. How did you break into your career as a reporter? Internships! I interned at a station in Austin where I got first-hand experience by going into the field with reporters. Eventually, I asked if I could do camera work. So, when job searching, my tapes stood out to news direc-
What are the striking differences between living in Houston and living in LA? Both are known for dramatic natural disasters, but there are things that make both cities wonderful. Obviously, the weather is the best thing about living in LA, but the worst is the traffic! In Houston, I can drive multiple places in one day—but not in LA. What’s a typical workday and how early does your day begin? I wake up at 2:15 a.m. and from that moment on, I am watching the news and checking out our news app for major stories. I get to the office at 3:30 a.m. and check all the ABC channels online, study Twitter for top trends, hard news or a fun video occasionally. Advice you can give journalists trying to break into TV reporting? Networking, networking, networking! Join local journalism organizations (I belong to the National Association of Hispanic Journalists) and go to journalism conventions to hear speakers. Follow fellow journalists on social media and connect with them. What do you do in your leisure time? I’m a newlywed and I married a Houstonian—he proposed to me in Paris. We have a rescue dog named Rocky, who was a part of our wedding (he wore a tux!). We enjoy local dog parks and I also love to travel. We were fortunate to have visited Mexico City, France, and England in 2019 pre-pandemic.
A Day in the Life
Any Texas food you missed when living in LA? Crawfish season and the Houston crawfish boils—they never got it quite right in LA. Also, I couldn’t find any kolaches there! How would you like to be remembered in your career? As a trusted voice. Being an anchor is about knowing the story, not just delivering it. I want the community to feel they can rely on me to be honest and present the facts on both sides. I call that quality journalism.
