SUMMER

June garden reminders

Even though your summer garden may already be planted, June is no month to relax. Julie Chamberlain, Purdue University extension assistant in horticulture, reminds homeowners that vegetables, flowers, lawns, trees, and shrubs will benefit from careful attention this time of year. If you’re growing cauliflower, use a side-dress fertilizer application when plants are halfgrown, Chamberlain advises. This means that fertilizer is places six-12 inches from the crown of the plant on one side of the row. Use one pound of an even analysis fertilizer, 10-10-10 or 12-12-12, per 25-30 feet of row. To keep the curd a pure white color, plan to blanch cauliflower when heads are 2-3 inches wide. Do this by tying outer leaves over the head with rubber bands or a soft cloth. When rhubarb plantings “go to seed” they produce a cluster of seeds on a long stalk. Snip the flower or seed cluster off and

allow the stalk to die back. The plant will then reabsorb food inside the stalk. Mulching garden plants is invaluable for keeping weeds out. Once crops have germinated, mulch with black plastic, wellrotted straw, newspaper, or shredded bark. A word of caution: if you have already applied mulch, check the soil occasionally for waterlogging. Spring rains may have contributed to an excess of water. If this is the case, you may need to pull mulch away from plants and allow soil to dry. Remember to protect roses from black spot and powdery mildew. Fungicides such as benomyl or folpet can be sprayed at weekly intervals until hot, dry weather occurs. Spray to control powdery mildew at the first sign of infection. Snap off seed pods of tulips when the bloom had faded. Purchase chrysanthemums and plant now for a late summer through frost flower display.

Flowers bloom for Mrs. Koher

It is said April showers bring May flowers. But. May isn’t the only month when blossoms of all different colors bring beauty to many homes in the area. All during the summer months, blooms of many different varieties can be seen sprouting from gardens. One home proudly displaying its backyard garden of flowers is the Maurice Koher residence, 700 South Huntington Street, Syracuse. Even though a bit small, this garden makes up for its lack of quantity with a variety of quality award-winning blooms. Mrs. Koher has been gardening for 35 years, the last 20 or so in the Syracuse area. Her garden, which measures approximately 25 feet long by five feet wide, is primarily made up of roses, iris, tulips and hyacinths. Several zinnias and marigolds can also be found. Mrs. Koher gardens mostly for her own enjoyment, even though she has won some awards for her blooms at the annual Syracuse-Wawasee Garden Club Flower Show. She is a member of the garden club and her hoya plant won a blue ribbon two years ago at the annual show. Almost all of her flowers are of the perennial variety, coming up each year without having to plant new seeds or plants. Os course, each year the garden enthusiast tries to add a few blooms to her collection. The oldest flower in her garden is a white rose bush which she planted when she moved to Syracuse. “It’s still growing strong,” Mrs. Koher commented. Hit and Miss Care of her garden takes the shape of a hit and miss method, said the Syracuse woman. She waters the flowers as needed and feeds and fertilizes her rose bushes. During the winter, she will put a mound of dirt around the base of her rose bushes before the ground freezes. She says this method has been successful, only losing one plant during the winter of ’7B. She starts to work in her garden when the weather starts to warm up. Throughout the summer, she will prune and weed her garden on a steady basis. Not only does she work outside, Mrs. Koher also has a variety of flowers and plants growing inside her house. Many of these she will place in her backyard during the summer to catch the full rays of the sun. Even though she loves all her different flowers and plants,probably her favorite is the rose.

looks the garden, so Mrs. Koher can enjoy her flowers all summer long. Gardening in the Koher household has been handed down from mother to daughter. Mrs. Koher said her mother always loved to garden. And, now, it seems her own daughter is taking up the hobby. Mrs. Koher can also see an increase in gardening in other families. She says, “Flowers are becoming really popular, especially with young people.” Most of her flowers started from plants

So, as the bright sun rays shine down, bringing life to many flowers and plants during summer, one can be sure to see Lois Koher out giving loving care to her garden. “It’s nice to get in the fresh air,” she says. “You see some results from all your labors, too. I enjoy it.”
