The period was mostly sunny and there was no signicant precipitation. Weather conditions have been favorable, with late spring and some summer like conditions. The lack of precipitation is a concern; the last signicant rainfall was on May 10. The lack of soil moisture is troubling, especially for tilled, disturbed or sandy soils. Make sure new plantings are being watered properly. Herbaceous plants seen in bloom the past week include columbine, bearded iris, lupine, bloodred geranium, lily of the valley, Solomon’s seal, vinca vine, fringed bleeding heart, sweet woodru, painted daisies, and allium. Woody plants in bloom include wisteria, beach plum, ame azalea, doublele viburnum, Korean spice viburnum, dwarf fothergilla, weigelia, and golden chain tree. Oak pollen is abundant. Now is the time to pinch herbaceous plants like chrysanthemum, aster, and goldenrod. Pests/Problems: Insect pests or damage seen over the period include winter moth damage to maples (holes in leaves), rose (holes in leaves), blueberry (ower damage and holes in leaves), and apple (ower damage and holes in leaves); viburnum leaf beetle larvae on viburnum, hydrangea leaftier on smooth leaf hydrangea, columbine leaf miner on columbine, rose slug sawy larvae on rose, Japanese maple scale on privet, lilac borer damage on privet, white prunicola scale on lilac, lecanium scale on white oak, boxwood leafminer adults emerging on boxwood, iris borer on bearded iris and aphids on numerous woody and herbaceous species. Disease symptoms or signs observed during the period have been limited; armillaria on privet and sycamore anthracnose on sycamore. Invasive plants in bloom include burning bush, autumn olive, bush honeysuckles, garlic mustard, and cypress spurge. Weeds in bloom include buttercup, narrowleaf plantain, red sorrel, black medic and white clover. Rabbits and deer ticks are abundant. Southeast Region (Dighton) General Conditions: We've had some very pleasant cool crisp weather interspersed with a couple of days in the 80's. Passing showers and threatened thunderstorms have produced very little in the way of addressing the lack of soil moisture. It's been fairly breezy as well. All in all, these have been comfortable conditions for humans to be outdoors but we are already in desperate need of rain for most of the other life forms. On a positive note, I'm not seeing any powdery mildew or other fungus problems that appear when there is free water on leaves. Even here on the water, there hasn't been morning dew in several weeks. It's dry enough that anthracnose infected sycamore trees are beginning to have a bit more than just a terminal leaf, something that doesn't usually occur until summer. Among the many plants I've noticed in ower are the following: Achillea millefolium (common yarrow), A. x 'Moonshine', Allium spp.(owering onion), Aquilegia (columbine), Aesculus hippocastanum (horse chestnut), Baptisia australis (blue indigo), Coreopsis spp. (tickseed), Chionanthus virginicus (white fringetree), Chelidonium majus (greater celandine), Conium maculatum (poison hemlock), Convallaria majalis (lily of the valley), Cotinus coggygria (smoke bush), Cornus kousa (Chinese dogwood), C. sericea (redtwig dogwood), Cytisus scoparius (Scotch broom), Dianthus spp. (pinks), Deutzia, Euonymus alatus (winged euonymus, burning bush), Euphorbia epithymoides (yellow spurge), Geranium maculatum (wild geranium), G. sanguineum (cranesbill geranium), Hesperis matronalis (dame's rocket), Heuchera (coral bells), Hyacinthoides hispanica (wood hyacinth), Iris germanica (German iris), I. pseudacorus (yellow ag iris), I. sibirica (Siberian iris), Kalmia latifolia (mountain laurel), Kerria japonica 'pleniora', Laburnum anagyroides (golden rain tree), Lamprocapnos spectabilis (bleeding heart), Leucanthemum vulgare (oxeye daisy), L. x superbum (shasta daisy), Lonicera morrowii (Morrow's honeysuckle), L. sempervirens (Japanese honeysuckle), L. tatarica (Tatarian honeysuckle), Lupinus (lupine), Myosotis (forget-me-not), Nepeta spp. (catmint), Osmunda claytoniana (interrupted fern), Ornithogalum (star of Bethlehem), Paeonia (peony) Papaver orientale (oriental poppy), Paulownia elongata (empress tree), Phlox subulata (creeping phlox), Pilosella (hawkweed), Polygonatum biorum (Solomon's seal), Prunus serotina (black cherry), Vaccinium corymbosum (highbush blueberry), Viburnum x burkwoodii (Burkwood viburnum), V. plicatum, (double-le viburnum), Viola papilionacea (common violet), V. tricolor (Johnny-jump-up), Vinca minor (periwinkle), Ranunculus repens (creeping buttercup), Rheum rhabarbarum (rhubarb), Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust), Rosa rugosa (beach rose), R. 'Knockout Rose', Rhododendron catawbiens (evergreen and semi-evergreen azaleas), Salvia nemorosa (perennial sage), Silene latifolia (white campion), Spiraea prunifolia (bridal wreath spirea), Syringa vulgaris (common lilac), S. x persica (Persian lilac), Trifolium repens (white clover), Weigela, and Wisteria sinensis. Pests/Problems: I fear the beginnings of a drought so deep even your dreams will be wilted. Unless we get some signicant precipitation, the rst heat wave will be devastating. North Shore (Beverly) General Conditions: Dry conditions persisted during this period. The weather was sunny, dry and warm with little cloud cover. The average daily temperature for this period was 67˚F. The highest temperature during this reporting period was 87˚F, recorded on May 26, and the lowest temperature was 49˚F recorded on May 20. A quick, light shower passed through on May 24 and dropped just 0.05

    E271 Bulletin For a comprehensive list of our publications visit www.rce.rutgers.edu Landscape Plants Rated by Deer Resistance Pedro Perdomo, Morris County Agricultural Agent Peter Nitzsche, Morris County Agricultural Agent David Drake, Ph.D., Extension Specialist in Wildlife Management The following is a list of landscape plants rated according to their resistance to deer damage. The list was compiled with input from nursery and landscape professionals, Cooperative Extension personnel, and Master Gardeners in Northern N.J. Realizing that no plant is deer proof, plants in the Rarely Damaged, and Seldom Rarely Damaged categories would be best for landscapes prone to deer damage. Plants Occasionally Severely Damaged and Frequently Severely Damaged are often preferred by deer and should only be planted with additional protection such as the use of fencing, repellents, etc. Success of any of these plants in the landscape will depend on local deer populations and weather conditions.

  • Now Is the Time to Plant Rhubarb by Susan Pelton, Uconn Home & Garden Education Center
    Now is the Time to Plant Rhubarb By Susan Pelton, UConn Home & Garden Education Center Rhubarb is an herbaceous, cool-weather perennial vegetable that grows from short, thick rhizomes. It produces large, triangular-shaped leaves, edible stalks and small flowers. Although it is classified as a vegetable since seed- bearing fruit is not consumed, the red-green stalks, which are similar to celery in texture, have a tart taste and are used like a fruit in pies, preserves, and sauces. Rhubarb root has been used medicinally for thousands of years starting in China and then spreading to the Middle East and Europe by way of the Silk Road by merchants that included Marco Polo, among others. Chinese rhubarb root was highly valued by apothecaries for its laxative properties and its cost often outweighed other spices. In fact, the high cost inspired Europeans to attempt to cultivate the plant in the early 1600s. They were successful in replicating the medicinal properties but those cultivars, Rheum palmatum, R. tanguticum, and R. officinale but the variety known as Russian or Siberian rhubarb became the predecessor of modern rhubarb. Rheum rhabarbarum and the variety R. x hybridum are the rhubarbs that have been domesticated for food production. It was in the 1700s that one of the biggest changes to the culinary use of rhubarb came about due to the increase of the availability of sugar to the everyday person. It was the addition of sugar that took rhubarb out of the categories of medicine and savory dishes and put this vegetable into the realm of desserts and preserves.

Graphs showing the population expansion curves (number of counties reporting over time) for exotics meeting the 2a criteria). 4) PART IIIA. Polynomial equations quantifying the rate of spread throughout the region for species meeting the 2a criteria. 5) PART IV..Habitat colonized by each exotic. 6) PART II.
