Continuing Education Committee
Calling All Master Gardeners:
The Continuing Ed Committee needs your questions! When we sent out our survey
earlier this year we couldn't cover all the great suggestions we got back from you. We
thought we would do a "You Asked For It" program with Charles Behnke, retired OSU
Extension Horticulture educator, in October so that we could touch on some of the
questions that you have on your minds. We envision a comfortable, relaxed interactive
session. We need to get some questions to him ahead of time, so he will be prepared to
impart his wisdom to us, so we will be gathering questions from you over the next two
month. Please send them to Mary O'Rourke at MARYO236@aol.com .
Flyer is attached for upcoming program in August:
Saturday, August 11, 2012: "Integrated Pest Management and Update on Organic
Pesticide Products"
Our own Jacqueline Kowalski will be conducting a walk through the new Share The
Health garden in Gates Mills, identifying pests and providing suggestions for how to deal
with them. Besides the vegetable garden - which is worth a visit in itself - Jacqueline will
have some perennials and trees around the garden to look at as well. Jacqueline will also
present an update on organic pesticide products. I hope many of you will come to the new
garden to see the new raised beds and the ingenious irrigation system. The site is at the
Gates Mills Environmental Education Center on County Line Road in Gates Mills. Register using the flyer by mail or on-line at the Education Store.

Update on THE MOVE
I know that many of us are excited and anxious to have more
information on the impending move. Things are moving along. The
new contractor has been in the building on Stanard and remodeling
has begun. There have been many changes from the first rendering of
the building and grounds, and there are many more changes to come,
many of which are happening on a day-to-day basis. We are slated to
be out of the Miles and 93rd Building no later than Dec. 31, 2012.
Although the Stanard location will house new offices, we have to keep in mind that the building is
a construction site. This means that staff and volunteers are not permitted to enter the building (even
to just peek)! Also, the farm itself is a workplace, and unannounced visitors are not welcome at this
time. The Board of Developmental Disabilities is experiencing a very busy summer and have a lot
on their plate. It is difficult to stop and talk to unexpected visitors and keep everyone on task. In
addition, there are privacy issues regarding the consumers that we have to respect. However, feel
free to drive on the street around the perimeter of the property and see the progress. I will post
updates regarding “the move” in the NYCU as often as updates are available.
Please be aware that this is a very hectic and somewhat stressful time in our office given the need
to balance a busy schedule of educational programming and all of the details and planning
associated with the move. There are many questions for which we do not have the answers for at this
time, and things will be changing as they always do in remodeling projects. Rest assured that there
will be space for the Master Gardeners, and I personally cannot wait to use the brand new training
room.

WHAT IS THAT WOOD?
WOOD ID WORKSHOP
August 17, 2012.
Is a hardwood really "harder" than a softwood? What does
it mean for a hardwood to be diffuse porous, ring porous, or
semi-ring porous? Thinking about remodeling and deciding between several woods? This class will help you answer those questions and learn the basics of wood identification. It could also real handy if you are dealing with the demise of the ash as a result
of EAB.
Eric McConnell, Forest Products Specialist with OSU's School of Environment and
Natural Resources will explore the skills needed to identify various wood structural
characteristics, including rays, tyloses, resin canals, and more. The historical benefits
of these woods, as well as their current uses will be discussed.
The program will be held at the Toledo Botanical Garden in Toledo, Ohio. The class
fee is $35, which covers educational materials and lunch. Class participants can also
purchase their very own wood ID kit to take home for $25. The kit has 24 different
wood species, (samples are 0.75"x0.75"x3.0").

OSU Extension offers resources, info to manage drought
As the drought of 2012 continues to intensify statewide, OSU Extension experts have
developed two websites dedicated to helping farmers, producers and consumers find ways
to deal with the dry conditions and extreme heat. Resources on the site agnr.osu.edu/
managing-drought-2012 include links and information topics ranging from crops to home
and landscape to drought assistance. And people who want to access social media to learn
and talk about drought can do so at www.facebook.com/OHdrought12.

ANNUAL - PETUNIA
(Petunia X hybrid).
With the onslaught of new varieties of petunias grown
from vegetative cuttings rather than seeds, growing petunias
is a whole lot easier! Very few plants rival the massive
color that petunias provide the length of the growing season. The newer varieties grown from vegetative
cuttings require little to no deadheading and produce masses of flowers all summer long. Seed varieties are
great performers as well but do require some deadheading to keep them looking their best.
Plant petunias in full sun and don't overwater. Overwatering can potentially lead to issues with
Phytophtera root rot. They like to stay on the dry side, making them perfect for this growing season. They
are great bedding plants as well as used in containers and hanging baskets. The plants vary in size and shape
depending upon the cultivar. They can get anywhere from 1 - 3' tall and 1 - 6' wide. They come in a wide
color range including pastels (pink, white, purple, fuchsia, etc.) and red, burgundy, and yellow or cream
color. There are also several great double varieties as well as picotee and striped.
PERENNIAL - COREOPSIS or TICKSEED
(Coreopsis hybrids)
One of the easiest perennials to grow comes from the Aster family and thrives in most perennial gardens
for many seasons. The plant gets its common name from the fact that the dried seeds resemble a tick. The
yellow daisy-like flowers on threadleaf coreopsis (C. verticillata) are bright yellow and begin to bloom in
July and last most of the summer. The foliage is very fine and delicate and adds texture to the planting. C.
verticillata grows around 1 - 2' tall and spreads about 1 - 2'. 'Zagreb' is a cultivar that is compact and upright
with deep yellow flowers and 'Moonbeam' has bright yellow flowers. C. grandiflora has double flowers and
grows to around 2' tall.
One can continuously deadhead during the bloom season in order to keep the blooms going, however, it's
a lot easier to remove the dead flowers all at once when they decline with shears. This leaves a period of no
flowers but it encourages new growth and flowering and takes much less time. The leaves are very fine and
delicate.
Coreopsis prefers full sun and well-drained soils. They are also very tough plants and tend to look great
in the August garden when many other plants are withering.
The above-mentioned coreopsis varieties are perennial. Be sure when purchasing these plants to know if
they are annual or perennials. Coreopsis tinctoria is a beautiful species with large flowers but is not
perennial and won't come back each year.

Robbing carpenter bees, and The Great Bee Count
The lushly-blooming butterfly garden at The Holden Arboretum in Kirtland has no scarcity of flowers or insect
visitors, including painted lady, fritillary, monarch and
swallowtail butterflies, as well as dozens of bee species.
The bees and butterflies are drawn to gardens with dependable food sources – summer-blooming perennials
like purple coneflowers, phlox and bee balm. Holden’s
butterfly garden is at its peak now, and is well worth a
visit.
At
Holden
last weekend, I spotted many carpenter bees robbing
phlox and bee balm flowers of their nectar. Our native garden phlox holds nectar down inside deepthroated flowers, perfect for the long tongues of butterflies to extract. Bees have much shorter tongues,
and are unable to access the nectar in those long
flowers. Not to be thwarted, hungry carpenter bees
use
their
chewing mouthparts to “rob” phlox flowers by chewing a
hole at the base of the flower to drink up the nectar. The
bee gets a quick meal, but the flower loses the pollination benefit since the bee never comes into contact with
the pollen.
Speaking of bees, The Great Bee Count is this week,
so why not take part? Sponsored by researchers at
San Francisco State University, the Great Bee Count
is a nationwide effort to study the prevalence of bees
across the country. To participate in the count, all
you
need is a flower to observe (a bee balm, sunflower, or
purple coneflower will do) an observation form
downloaded from their website, fifteen minutes and a
comfortable chair. The information helps researchers
gauge the health and prevalence of bee species. Register,
