On this edition of Houston Matters, we continue our week-long series exploring “The State of Houston” with a conversation about Greater Houston’s health and healthcare. We talk with News 88.7 Health and Science Reporter Carrie Feibel.
Then: Houston’s climate is so moderate that there are a number of growing seasons. So what should we — and what shouldn’t we — plant right now?

Linda Gay, horticulturist and gardener at The Arbor Gate Nursery in Tomball, will answer that and other gardening questions.
And: almost one third of all U.S. undergraduate students are the first in their family to attend college. They’re called first-generation students, and they face a lot of challenges to reach college. Then, once they get on campus, they’re more likely to leave higher education. We learn about efforts to help them succeed.
