Wildflower Seed Giveaway

The Statesman is participating in a fundraising campaign to buy wildflower seeds to spread along highways, byways, parks and in neighborhoods throughout Central Texas.

Special Lady Bird Legacy seed packets are given to fourth-grade students, who then learn about the importance of wildflowers and how to create their own gardens.

The campaign, which began in 2008, on what would have been President Lyndon B. Johnson's 100th birthday, will continue through 2012, when Lady Bird would have turned 100.

All fourth-grade students in Central Texas are eligible for the free packet of seeds and planting instructions.

Ask Barry the Bat

Get the latest questions and answers here

Have you a question
that's been stuck in your mind,
And nowhere you've looked
An answer did you find?

Well you're in the right place.
I assure you of that
'cause my name is Barry!
I'm your Answer Bat.

Just send me your question-
Be it big. Be it small.
Sometimes the lil ones
Are the best ones of all!

Why do those weird cicadas
only come out in spurts?
Why if I eat ice-cream
Too fast my head hurts?

I'll get you the answers,
Whatever it takes.
I'll search high, I'll search low,
Not stopping for breaks.

I'll be here each week,
on Wednesday for you.
And together we'll learn
a new thing or two.
