Wow, what a month!!! I can honestly say that all of our planning and hard work
for the Garden Affair has paid off. Thank you very much to everyone on the Garden Affair Committee for helping to make this a successful event.
Pat Bowell & Annie Ittu did a wonderful job coordinating the children’s
activities. Bonnie Dixon, Genie Fitzgerald, and Sarah Johnson did a fantastic job
face painting! Additionally, Bonnie Dixon worked exceptionally hard on making
the garden affair festive. Judy Geggis and Nancy Robson, did an exorbitant
amount of work on publicity. Carol Colavito, and Jane Smith did a fabulous job
organizing all of the plants and green elephant items for the plant sale. Susan
Seth did a fantastic job as our Garden Affair Chairperson.
As always thank you to everyone for helping with everything in between! What a fantastic
event, everyone deserves a Hip Hip Hooray!

or the other needs more or less attention.
The May cleanup of the Library Rain Garden
went off without a hitch. We made arrangements with Department of Public Works to have
a truck delivered to haul away all the plant debris. Additionally, a crew was there mulching,
which was another great help. Thank you to
everyone who pitched in to get the Rain Garden
ready for the Garden Affair!

Garden Affair Update Submitted by: MG Susan Seth (Chairperson)
Many thanks to all of the Master Gardeners who helped to
make the Garden Affair a very successful event. Thanks to
all those who helped with planning and preparation and to
those who raised plants, donated items to the green elephant table, baked goodies and worked at the Garden Affair
in one of our many varied activities. We are grateful to the
businesses who donated door prizes and helped in many
other ways. We also appreciate all of the organizations
who came out to support us.
The Library and Wright’s Chance are most accommodating
in helping us host the Garden Affair at a welcoming and
central location. The music provided by Charles Thomas
was a touch we were missing the first couple of years. Didn’t the rain garden look spectacular? We owe thanks to the
workers from the County who helped us with trimming and
mulching. Most of all thanks to Rachel for her hard work and guidance.
At the end of the day packing up and
clean up went miraculously fast with
everyone pitching in to help. We estimate that we had in excess of 300 visitors to the GA and had 50 or more
Master Gardeners helping. The Garden Affair takes much work and many
hands. Thanks to everyone!

MG State Strategic Planning Meeting
Tuesday, Sept. 20, 10am-1pm at the 4H Center in College Park
Join other MGs from across the state as we seek to assess what’s been happening overall in the MG program and share our experiences and knowledge.
Are we surviving the economic downturn and budget cuts?
How can we improve our standing with our funders?
Are we offering the programs people really need?
How is our effort at multiculturalism going?
Are our administrative structures working?
Should we have more statewide focus on certain issues or programs?
We have not had any kind of statewide strategic planning meeting for over a year and a half, so this meeting is much needed and sure to be interesting and informative. Meeting is open to any interested MG.

techniques to identify plants in the field, this is the course for you. The course will be made up of approximately 9 hours of class work with lots of hands-on practice with dichotomous keys. You will also receive a
specially prepared booklet of course materials.

Plant a second crop of beans.
Learn to ID beneficial insects and keep a
eye out for possible pest problems
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 cabbage worms from broccoli
and other members of the cabbage family,
or spray with Bt if necessary
Hand pick Colorado potato beetle adults,
larvae and orange egg masses on potato &
eggplant
Pinch off tomato suckers, to encourage larger, earlier fruit, especially if training to
one central stem.
July
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 with a razor
and remove the larva. Then mound
soil around the injured stem.
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.
Canning Workshops are finally HERE!!!
UME be holding 2 workshops on canning. The first will be held on Friday,
July 15th at the 4-H Park and will focus on using a pressure canner to can
vegetables. Also included will be a session on how to judge a canning class.
We will do this while the jars are processing. The class will run from 6:00
until 9 or 10 p.m. Our 2nd workshop will be held on Thursday, July 21st at the 4-H Park from
6:00 p.m. until 9 or 10 p.m. and will focus on using the water –bath method to make jam and
pickles. Each class will cost $5.00 per person. If you wish to purchase a copy of the book “So
Easy to Preserve”, there will be an additional $15.00 fee. This book has instructions and is
loaded with recipes. The “USDA Guide to Home Food Preservation” book may be downloaded
for free. The easiest way is to google the title of the book. It requires an Adobe 9.2 Reader and is
quite a big publication to download. This is mostly an instructional “how to” guide with a few
recipes included in each section.

CALLING ALL MASTER GARDENERS! The Bay-Wise Committee is seeking photos of Bay-Wise practices in YOUR garden. We
know you have them! Here are some things we are looking for:
Rain garden; people-powered tools (reduced emissions and IPM); non-toxic insect, disease, or weed control; wildlife habitat
(food; water; shelter); soil test results; native or beneficial (e.g., pest resistant) plants; dead invasive that you removed from
your landscape. For more ideas, take a look at the Bay-Wise Yardstick to see all the different practices that we would like to
share. If you don’t have a yardstick, you can pick one up from Rachel at the office, or see it here on the web: http://
baywise.umd.edu/files/Yardstick5Pager.pdf Get out there and photograph the best Bay-Wise practice(s) demonstrated in
your garden. We are not seeking magazine-style photos of beautiful gardens, though that would be fine; rather, we would
like to see photos of Bay-Wise practices in action. These photos will be used in the program at the July 20 th Master Gardener meeting. We hope you all will send photos and attend the meeting to see how your fellow MGs are implementing Bay
-Wise practices in their gardens! Please email your photos to Rachel at the office in zipped or compressed format, or drop
by with a flash drive or disk for her to copy by June 8, 2011.
FUNDRAISER SUCCESS
Thanks to all MGs who helped support the fundraiser this spring: Joe Jelich for building and donating the Leopold bench;
Carol Jelich for donating the book; Carol, Kate Greer, Jane Chambers, Karen Wimsatt, and John and Annie Ittu for staffing a
table at Safeway on Kent Island to showcase the MG program and fundraiser; and all the generous MGs who supported by
donating for tickets, especially Roger Tilden and Margaret Carter. We raised $400 in donations. Congratulations to the winner, MG Genie Fitzgerald!

plants to find their real comfort area.
Special thanks to MG Lori & George Sharer for opening their landscape up to
be certified as Bay Wise for our Advance Bay Wise Training Class. Lori &
George have worked very hard at creating a beautiful Bay Wise landscape.
They have incorporated many native plants to attract wildlife such as
butterfly’s and birds.
