Fun, Fellowship and Fodder
Wednesday, June 20th 11:30am
Please mark your calendars
and intend to attend this annual
gathering at the Queen Anne’s
County 4-H Park. Family members
and future Master Gardeners are
invited as well as the space is large
and adequately covered if there is
inclement weather.
PLEASE BRING A
DISH TO SHARE! I won’t in-
dicate what as I have faith that
there will be enough and we can
all fall off the nutritional pyramid
for one day if everyone brings desserts!
Traditionally the Extension
Office has provided ACME fried
chicken to the tune of $90.00. I asked
at the May MG meeting for those
wishing to continue this chicken eating tradition and no one said “Yes” so
I will suggest that this savings be
placed in our coffers to pay for BayWise signs. I will bring water, juice
and iced tea and all the supplies
from the office, Bay-Wise signs and a
MG banner to mark our spot.
In the mean time, think of
something you have learned (or realized again) about working the earth
this spring/summer and be willing to
share on JUNE 20th.

MG of the Month: Jim Persels
MG Jim Persels has
been teaching an ecology
course for home schooled
high school students once a
week from January to
May. He devoted a lot of time
and effort into this class and
then donated all of the registration fees to the MG program.
This is in addition to all
the other activities that Jim is involved with.
Jim is also a regular volunteer at the
plant clinics, he is a
member of the
search committee
and we have, more
or less, appointed
him as the chair of
our steering committee.

Dear Master Gardeners,
Well, we survived our first 6 weeks without Rachel.
Master Gardener
Coordinator - who will
wear the hat next?
The search committee for a new MG Coordinator has been formed
and the position has been advertised. Closing date is June 8. The search
committee will start the review process as son as possible.
Once candidates have been selected, they will be asked to give a short
presentation. All Master Gardeners are welcome to attend these presentations. We will keep you posted!
Thanks to the Garden Affair, plant clinics and garden clean up, there are seriously
too many people to mention this month ( I would probably have to list the entire directory). Individual people are mentioned in reports about
our various activities.
Thanks To:
As always, thanks is due to all of you, but if we missed a deserved thank you or if you wish to express your appreciation to someone, please let
Sabine Harvey or Carol Jelich know and it shall be acknowledged in the next newsletter.

hustling now. Five certification/
consultation visits are in the
works now between the Southern
region (Centreville & South) and
Northern (Church Hill & North).
Three likely certifications are

reason to remind all our colleagues that we've set a goal to
certify all our members' yards.
Big goal but with everyone's participation should be possible.

Demonstration Garden Clean-up
Submitted by Debbie Pusey
We had quite a few volunteers in April
and May to help get the Centreville Library Rain Garden ready for our big
event, the ‘Garden Affair’.
Thank you to Judy Conley, Kit
Foster, Margaret Gardner, Judy Geggis,
Jackie Kelly, Jim Persels, Susan Seth and
David Taylor for their help in making it
look spectacular.
QAC Department of Public Works
also helped and did more than we expected. Not only did they mulch, but they
weeded before they put the mulch down
the week of our event. Made our job a lot
easier! And gave
us time to figure
out where the refurbished ID signs
belonged!
In June, we will
meet at the QAC 4
-H Park on Route
18 and Dulin Clark Road. We are contracted with the county to develop and
maintain the 12 X 12 raised bed that is by
the flag pole. The bed currently is full of
Vinca and Spiderwort and one big
shrub. It has been sprayed by the county
to kill the existing vegetation and the
shrub will be removed (by others!).
We will need to clean out what is
left of the bed and get it ready for planting. We also need to decide what we are
going to plant in there. And we need to
figure out where/how we can get plants
donated. Hopefully, we’ve learned what
works and what doesn’t from our experiences at the Library garden.
By contracting to do this flower
bed, we will be able to locate our booth
for the county fair in front of this bed rather that at the entrance where we have
been in the past. We need to have this
garden looking as good as possible for the
THE
WATERING
CAN
county fair in August. So it’s really important that we do a good job! Our reputations are at stake!!! And this will also
help us to promote use of native plants.
Our next workday is on Thursday, June
21 at 9am. Bring your shovels, other
tools and water. We can use all the help
we can get!!

 QAC 4-H Fair August 6th-August
11th. This year we are looking for
someone to be responsible for the organization of the MG booth at the fair.
Responsibilities will include setting up
and taking down of the booth and arranging for volunteer coverage.
 Drill Baby Drill! Is anyone interested
in starting an MG Drill Team to march
(with appropriate garden tools and
GIEI seed packets to hand out) in the
4th of July parade in Centreville? Contact Carol Jelich if you want to explore
this idea or can offer advice on how to
perform drills.

Plant a second crop of beans.
If aphids are a serious problem, apply a light spray
of horticultural oil, or insecticidal soap. Lady bird
beetles will usually keep aphids in check.
Hand pick Colorado potato beetle adults, larvae
and orange egg masses on potato and eggplant
plants.
Hand pick harlequin bugs and their black and
white eggs from plants in the cabbage family. Do
the same for Mexican bean beetles (yellow egg
masses on leaf undersides).
Prevent flea beetle infestations with row covers.
Spray with pyrethrum or neem. A light dusting of
eggplant leaves with flour or wood ash can also
deter flea beetles.
Search the undersides of squash and pumpkin
leaves for copper-colored squash bug eggs, and
destroy them.
Pinch off tomato suckers, to encourage larger, earlier fruit, especially if training to one central stem.

Sow heat-tolerant greens like Swiss chard, Malabar spinach, mustard greens and lettuce cultivars
like ‘Red Sails’, ‘Deer Tongue’ and ‘Jericho’. Planting in semi-shade, or covering with a shade cloth
or row cover helps reduce heat stress in midsummer.
Sow seeds of broccoli, cauliflower, turnips, beets
and other fall crops in late July.
Sow seeds of squash, beans and cucumbers
through the end of July.
Monitor squash and pumpkin vines for squash
vine borers. If leaves are wilting, or you see holes
in the lower stems, with sawdust-like fresh, or
droppings around the holes, slit the stem above
the hole and with a razor and remove the larva.
Then mound soil around the injured stem.

If tomatoes or peppers develop blossom-end rot,
remove injured fruits, water plants well, and
mulch to conserve soil moisture. Consistent watering and adequate calcium can prevent this
disorder.
Harvest onions when tops die back; let them dry
in the garden after digging them up, or tie the
stems together and hang them up in a garage or
attic with good air circulation. Store onions in a
cool, dry place.
Dig up garlic when the tops yellow and die; let
dry in the sun, then store in an airy place before
braiding, or storing in mesh bags, and hanging in
a dry place.
Cut back herbs to keep them bushy and productive.

Reflections

Submitted by: MG Susan Seth, Garden Affair Chairperson
Thanks to all of the Master Gardeners who helped
make the Garden Affair another successful event for
the fifth year. We had 45-50 Master Gardeners who
participated at the Garden Affair and many others
who contributed in other ways. There are many other
groups and individuals who helped to make it a successful event:

We had great publicity in a variety of publications.
Our co-hosts the Queen Anne’s County Library
and the Historical Society were fantastic partners. The Library offered story hour, a book
sale and a book raffle and the Historical Society offered tours of Wright’s Chance.
The QAC DPW helped us get the rain garden in
great shape and provide us with tables, chairs
and trash receptacles.
The Town of Centreville helped us get permits
for signs and put up sign posts.
The Town Police provided allowed us to mark
off parking spaces at the front and back for the
event.
The participating community individuals and
organizations brought their messages about
the environment to our visitors.
QAC Health Dept. granted us permits for a
bake sale and for serving food. They also
brought information about tick borne diseases
and sun safety.
Local businesses donated door prizes.
The Pondtown 4-H group did a great job in
providing hot dogs, snacks and drinks.
Charles Thomas provided music for us for the
fourth year.
Rachel guided us and continued to provide
her support after assuming her new responsibilities. The office staff at the Extension Office
was very helpful in preparing and planning
and supported us in so many ways.
Garden Affair is really a community event. We depend on so many people and organizations in the
community to help us put on the event. Most important it gives the Master Gardeners an opportunity
to come together as a community.
With a delightful day of weather and careful preparation by Chairman Susan Seth and the Garden Affair
planning committee, this year’s event was a tremendous success. Although we had fewer visitors, our
fundraising activities raised a record amount of money
which will be used to support Garden Affair 2013. The
planning committee already has some great ideas for
next year’s event, including the purchase of an advertising banner to be displayed over the street in the
weeks prior to the event.
Sue D’Camera provided a very popular bake
sale with delicious donations from so many of our
master gardeners. The bake sale earned $219.00
which is the best sale since the start of our Garden Affair.
Families appreciated the hard work and creativity of our talented face painters. They tipped them
generously and the activity raised $38.00 in donations.
The Green Elephant sale raised $139.75 (once
again, our most successful since the start of GA). Karen
Wimsatt has a flair for displaying our Green Elephants
in a most inviting manner. Thank you to the master
gardeners who donated such nice items for the sale.
Master gardeners really worked to provide a
wide variety of healthy, desirable plants for our sale
which paid off in increased sales. Many plants looked
like they could have come from a professional nursery.
Some of the signage was so complete, that the workers
learned as much about the plants as the customers.
Our grand total for the plant sale this year was
$818.46 which was the best ever for this sale. It is a
long hot day in the sun working the plant sale so we
give a special thank you to everyone who energetically
worked the sale from 8am until 3pm.
The net total for GA 2011 was $465.13. The
net total for GA 2012 is $998.23. Finally, we will
have the funds to purchase some of the items that we
know will enhance the educational outreach of the
Garden Affair.
Thank you to Susan Seth for her dedication
and hard work as the Chairman for the past two year.
Please consider volunteering to fill the vacancy as the
Chairman for Garden Affair 2013. Susan and I will be
available as mentors to our new chairman.
Thank you to the planning committees and all
of the volunteers who worked in all of the roles to
make this a fantastic event. Many visitors stated that
they look forward to our event each year and plan to
come back next year. This is a truly extraordinary educational outreach opportunity for the Queen Anne’s
County Master Gardeners.

Hypertufa Class
Carol Jelich & Rachel Melvin, taught 6 students at Adkins Arboretum on how to construct Hypertufa pottery on
Saturday, June 2nd. Students were able to discover how to enhance their garden landscape by using a hypertufa
planter. Hypertufa is an artificial stone material
that is made from several different aggregates to
imitate natural tufa rock. It can easily be molded
into different forms, is much lighter than
concrete, and looks like weathered crumbly
stone.
As a side note, Carol & Rachel are thinking about
hosting a class for MG's in August at Carol’s
house. There will be a small charge for the MG's,
less that the Adkins class, but just enough to cover
the cost of materials. We will have more details
for the July newsletter.

Plant Disease
Date: Tuesday, June 12, 2012; 9:30am-3:30pm
Course Description: Plant diseases often seem like
exotic mysteries left up to the experts to solve. Well,
guess what- we MG’s can now begin to unravel some of these mysteries ourselves.
In this course you’ll learn all about the bacteria, fungi and viruses that cause plant problems.
You’ll also learn about their symptoms, cycles and controls. In addition to the lecture and
handouts you will get hands-on training with samples. We hope that you’ll feel comfortable
enough with the basics of plant diseases to be able to recognize problems in your own gardens
and to use the information competently to help clients at plant clinics.
To Register: Use registration form or send your name, address, email, phone, MG county you
work with, name of class (and its location) you want to take, and a check for $35 (payable to
the University of MD). Mail to: MG classes, HGIC, 12005 Homewood Road, Ellicott City, MD
21042. Registration Deadline: June 5 Registration Fee: $35
Certificate Info.: This class will fulfill the Plant Disease requirement for your MG State Advanced Training Certificate Course in Plant Diagnostics. To get the certificate you will need to
take Plant Diseases, Entomology, a “Ask a MG” practicum and a Plant ID course. Each of these
classes is offered at various locations at least once a year.

Community gardens are springing up everywhere and folks new to vegetable gardening are
trying to learn new skills. MGs need to know how to support their efforts both by understanding the community gardening process and rules, and by advising and demonstrating best
management practices in the garden.
This one day training (followed by 2 field trips), will cover a wide range of topics: weeds,
pests, soil testing, fencing, rules and regulations, rats, food safety, setting up the plot and
more. We’ll also include a diagnostic walk in the demo garden.
Our two field trips will be to two entirely different community gardens. You can go to both or
just one. You’ll get a much better understanding of community vegetable gardens as you see
how different gardens operate and do field practice exercises to hone your gardening skills.

Old Herbaceous
A Novel of the Garden by Reginald Arkell
Reviewed by Linda Goldkrantz
Old Herbaceous is a darling, lonely old man, who spent
his entire life caring for gardens
and greenhouses. The book
starts at the end. As he looks
back on his childhood, how he
started out as an orphan on a
doorstep, became a respected
horticultural judge, and ended
up…well, I don’t want to spoil the
end….suffice to say, we learn a
lot about gardening as he learns.
We get to view his special world
through astute and philosophical
eyes…with a mischievous sense
of humor. Through beautiful
and eloquent language, the author makes Old Herbaceous our
friend and fellow gardener.
Just a sample…Joining him as a
child, when he discovers he loves
flowers, we go off with him to
find the perfect bouquet to enter
in an arrangement contest. He
had made a list of what he wanted, but alas, not everything he
wanted bloomed at one time….
“So, to the canal he went, with an
old bucket and one of Mrs. Pinnegar’s less rusty table knives.
Right at the start he had to learn
the lesson that comes to every
gardener: all the flowers are never out at the same time. Either
you are too late or you are too
early. The flowers you grow today are never so lovely as the
flowers you grew yesterday and
will grow again tomorrow. The
gardener is a frustrated being for
whom flowers never bloom at the
right moment.”
And about allowing people to pick
flowers to take inside….something
his boss forbid…“….right up to the
end of his days, Old Herbaceous
had a bit of the child in him. Half
the joy of flowers, for children,
lies in picking them. You can’t ask
a small boy to leave all the violets
on a sunny bank, or all the bluebells in a wood….”
Originally printed in 1950, this
small volume is part of a gardening series that includes seven other authors. The series of garden
novels is edited by Michael Pollan.
How lovely it was to sit in my garden, all of which is not blooming
at the same time, and read Old
Herbaceous.
Spotted Wing Drosophila (SWD)
NOW is the time to look for spotted wing drosophila (SWD), a new pest of fruit plants in Maryland. Jerry Brust, Ph.D., Extension Vegetable Specialist gives you the details and photos in his fact
sheet. Two popular backyard fruit crops, blackberry and raspberry, are favorite
host plants for SWD.
Make your own simple trap to monitor for this destructive fruit fly by following
these instructions from Oregon State. The trap consists of a clear plastic drink
cup and apple cider vinegar. The yellow sticky cards make it easier to attract
and identify SWD. There are many online suppliers of yellow sticky cards. You
can also use the trap without the cards.
Since this is a new pest we are tracking its appearance around the state. If you are a home gardener and
suspect you have SWD in a fruit crop, please contact us by phone (800-342-2507, Mon-Fri.) or via the “Send a Question” section of our Home and Garden Information Center website.
