Ext. 19
I would like to thank everyone for all the enthusiastic greetings I have received so
far! On November 19th, I started as the new Home Horticulture and Master Gardener Coordinator for Queen Anne’s County. Considering that I look forward to getting to know all of you, I
know it’s only natural for you to be curious about me.
I am a lifelong resident of Delaware, where I was active in 4-H and FFA. I graduated
from Delaware State University with a Bachelors of Science in Animal and Poultry Science.
While in college, I worked at the university’s C.E. Phillips Herbarium, preserving plant specimens and aiding in educational outreach activities. For the past two years I have worked as
the research assistant to the state of Delaware’s fruit and vegetable extension specialist. I
truly delighted in the research and learning something new every day.
In my free time I enjoy beach combing, hunting, fishing, basically anything outdoors,
as well as, shopping at antique stores for vintage furs and agriculture related items. I am
lucky enough to live on a farm two miles from the Delaware Bay with my boyfriend and 7
year old son.
I appreciate your patience as I go through the process of learning this new role. I
have confidence that with your help I will quickly learn the ropes. I look forward to working
with all of you!
Hilary Ennis

GARDENING TIPS
If you have the time, try your hand at making your
own natural holiday decorations. You can make your
home more festive by creating door sprays, wreaths,
and centerpieces using evergreen boughs, pine
cones, and other natural materials. Prolong the life
of your decorations by spraying with an antidesiccant
spray.
By Dr. Leonard Perry,
University of Vermont
Extension
Professor
If you are like me, your mind is on Christmas, not
gardening, this month. But if you think about it,
many holiday activities are actually related to gardening.
First, there's the selection of a Christmas tree. If you
buy a cut tree, be sure to check for freshness by
bending the needles or bouncing the stump end of
the tree on the ground to check for needle "fall out."
Or you might prefer to buy a live tree, which can be
planted outdoors after the holidays and enjoyed for
many years to come. Select one that is potted in a
bushel basket or other large container or balled with
burlap with a large, firm root ball. Choose a uniformly shaped tree with no signs of broken branches,
dried out foliage, or poor color.
In addition to the tree, you'll probably want to buy a
few holiday plants to decorate your home. Poinsettias are a favorite choice, or try something a bit more
unusual like a cyclamen or kalanchoe. Again, select
Give your philodendrons, dracaenas, rubber plants,
and other large-leafed houseplants a bath this month
by gently washing the foliage on both sides with a
sponge dipped in soapy water. Mild dish detergent
works fine. This removes the grime and allows the
pores of the leaves to breathe more freely. And
while you're at it, check for insect pests and treat
accordingly.
Don't forget to stock up on birdseed and keep those
feeders full this winter. If you are interested in attracting certain species of birds, ask your garden
store dealer for recommendations.

Report on Kent Island Farmers Market:
In 2012 we greeted patrons on the KI
market opening day in April and have been
there every second Thursday of the
month since then. We will continue through
the winter because the market is open all
year. We donated Season's Best books twice
this year as a door prize, signed up people for
Bay Wise visits, distributed Green Books and
other literature, featured shore line planting,
late season crops, fall lawn care, what to do
with those *!# leaves that keep coming down,
care of houseplants and holiday greens
and...whatever else came up.
Kent Island Farmer's Market is now in
the planning stages for 2013. I want to do a
little survey in January to find out what the
patrons' interests are...and I welcome suggestions from anyone...I want to give our major
programs a chance to showcase their outreach
activities. I have already heard from the Bay
Wise Committee. So...committee chairs, let
me know if you want to take a day at the
market. Maybe we could have a teaser in
April to promote our Garden Affair...face
painting or ?
I want to thank all of those who
helped QACMGs get this started this year at
the KI market and a special thanks to the
staff at the Extension office for all of their
help when I want to make a display, design
posters, print handouts and more...Happy
New Year to all…

Grow It Eat It
Reflections on the 2012 Tomato Season
It is almost December and I still haven’t written my
reflections on this past tomato season. I grow all my tomatoes
from seed, not only for my own garden, but also for “my”
school garden. In order to make a good comparison, I make
sure the seedlings get transplanted to the gardens in the same
week. These gardens are located within a few miles of each
other, so you might wonder about how different they could
be. Well, you might be surprised.
First, let me introduce this year’s “players”. Of course
there were the yearly recurring performers, who have proven
their worth in the garden: Celebrity Hybrid, Early Pick and
Juliet. In addition, I grew Best Boy, Marglobe, Big Rainbow and
three paste tomatoes: Amish Paste, San Marzano and Gilbertie. Celebrity Hybrid and Early Pick are mid-size tomatoes
with a good flavor. Juliet is a large grape tomato with a great
taste. It is one of the first tomatoes to start producing and it is
usually still going strong in October. It is a great tomato for
eating straight of the vine or for cooking. Once again, these
tomatoes did not disappoint.
After last year, I may need to add Best Boy to the list
of recurring performers. 2011 was a tough year for tomatoes
and Best Boy did not do too bad. So I decided to give it another try; it did not let me down and performed well in both gardens. It is a big tomato, but not super gigantic. It has a good
flavor and it is a pretty tough plant.
The fact that it is a tough plant came in handy, because the tomatoes in the school garden were struck by a nasty disease early in the season. By mid June, the lower leaves
on many plants looked terrible. All I could do was remove the
diseased foliage, make sure no one splashed water onto the
plants and keep my fingers crossed. While the weather stayed
dry, the disease slowed down. Things went downhill rapidly
once it started to rain in August. Of course, I was fairly concerned that I would bring this disease to my own garden. I
made sure to disinfect my tools, I had a separate pair of gloves
for the school garden and I even went as far as changing my
clothes and shoes before I went from one garden to the other.
A local garden center donated the Marglobe seeds.
Although the description on the seed packet sounded promising, I was not impressed. Marglobe did okay in my own garden. The tomatoes were about the size of an Early Girl, but
they had very little flavor. The tomatoes were also very prone
to crack after a rain event, more so than other tomatoes. In
the school garden Marglobe was down right pitiful.
I thought we needed some color among our tomatoes,
so I decided to grow Big Rainbow. This is a yellow heirloom
tomato with red stripes. Wow!!!!! The tomatoes were gigantic
2013 will be the year of the
PAGE 5
and the flavor was absolutely amazing. In fact, I am not sure I
have ever tasted a better tomato (sorry Juliet). What is more,
my teenage children agreed. On numerous occasions I would
find them in the kitchen making some sort of wonderful dish
for themselves with this tomato.
The only caveat – and I think this is true for all heirloom tomatoes – is that I find it really hard to grow heirlooms
in a garden where I only come a few times a week. Heirlooms
are funny; you really need to pick the tomatoes before they
are at their peak. Unlike so many hybrids, that will happily
stay on the vine even when they are perfectly ripe, if you don’t
pick that heirloom on time, you won’t get to pick it at all.
Now for the paste tomatoes. According to the literature, if you are going to grow a paste tomato, you really ought
to grow San Marzano which is kind of the standard of paste
tomatoes.
Well, as one of my teachers at Longwood Gardens
once said: Plants do not read books! I have no idea what happened, but it wasn’t a pretty picture. In my own garden, this
plant got some sort of dwarfing disease. It looked very odd
and it managed to produce a total of 3 tomatoes. Yes, you read
that right, 3 tomatoes. Clearly I should have yanked the plant
out of the ground, but I am an eternal optimist and I was hoping that it would simply start to grow at some point. Clearly I
was wrong. In the school garden, San Marzano did grow to full
size, but the tomatoes just weren’t very impressive and the
above mentioned disease didn’t help either.
I tried Amish Paste for the first time in 2011. I’ll admit, it wasn’t the greatest producer ever, but I thought it could
have potential. I am glad I gave it another chance, because it
did much better this season. It produced nice, fat tomatoes,
great for making sauce. It also managed to hang on in the
school garden longer than San Marzano.
However, my new favorite paste tomato is Gilbertie
(It is a really cool name, especially when you try to say it with
an Italian accent). The tomatoes are huge and very, very
fleshy. It is absolutely perfect for making sauce. Yes, it was a
little slow to get going. It also suffered in a major way from
blossom end rot, but so did the other two paste tomatoes. I
now know that this tomato needs extra care when it comes to
watering and a supply of calcium.
This week, the first seed catalogues for 2013 started
to arrive in the mail. Before I order any new seeds for the next
growing season, I would love to know what you grew in your
garden and whether you have any recommendations for me.

Swamp Chestnut Oak Propagation
Connie Metcalf brought acorns from the Bicentennial tree to the November meeting,
with the suggestion that they be grown out
for the plant sale at Garden Affair in May.
Some MGs took acorns home, but many landed back in the Extension office. Hilary did a
little research, and found that it is not just the
largest Swamp Chestnut Oak in Maryland - it
is actually formally recognized as the largest
in the entire country. It is over 400 years old
and is one of the most historical trees in the
state.
Danny LeVan took the acorns to the county’s
greenhouse to start the propagation process.
Volunteers will be needed in the future to pot
the saplings. It was decided that it is best to
allow the saplings to reach a decent size (for
a year) before they are used in fundraising!
Thanks for the great idea Connie!

The Gardener’s Year by Karel Capek
Recommendation and review submitted by Linda Goldkrantz
First published in 1929, before
World War II impacted life in Prague,
this book takes us through a year in the
life of the gardener, as seen through the
clever and astute eyes of Karel Capek, a
novelist, journalist, playwright, essayist…and gardener. His observations,
both of horticultural things and humans…are spot on.
As January approaches, I read
with amusement, “….If too little snow
falls, he (the gardener) grumbles that it
reaches nowhere; if too much, he says
that he is afraid that it will break his conifers and hollies”….. How many times
have we said something like that ourselves? He could be at a Master Gardener meeting!
His
tongue-in-cheek
humor
makes us laugh as we nod in agreement…… “If gardeners had been developing from the beginning of the world by
natural selection, they would have
evolved most probably into some kind of
invertebrate. After all, for what purpose
has a gardener a back: Apparently only
so he can straighten it at times and say,
“My back does ache!” As for legs, they
maybe folded in different ways…..”
The simple cartoon illustrations
were done by his brother Josef, who died
in Bergen-Belsen. Both died young…as a
result of the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia. What a tragic loss of such potential and talent.
This book is a small delightful
addition to your collection, one of the
Modern Library Gardening series, edited
by Michael Pollan.
