  • 100 Cold Hardy Trees, Perennials, and Shrubs for Kittitas County
    100 Cold Hardy Trees, Perennials, and Shrubs for Kittitas County Prepared By Hilary Foss, Master Gardener Coordinator Patrice Andersen, Master Gardener Mary Vathauer, Master Gardener 100 Cold Hardy Trees, Perennials, and Shrubs for Kittitas County Gardeners in Kittitas County face unique challenges. Cold winters and hot, dry summers, and lots of wind create a tough gardening climate. Additionally, our county contains a wide range of eco-systems, with varying soils, soil pH, rainfall, and plant communities. At higher elevations such as Cle Elum (1,930 feet), the average growing season is 90 to 120 days with last frosts in late May (approximately May 24 th ) and first frosts in the middle of September (approximately September 11th ). Cle Elum receives about 22” of rain on average. At lower elevations such as Ellensburg, conditions are much drier and frost-free days are longer. The average growing season in Ellensburg is about 120 days with last frosts in early May (May 11 th ) and first frosts around the end of September (approximately September 25 th ). Kittitas County is rated at USDA Zone 5 (-20 °F. minimum). Our tough climate with varying conditions can be baffling to first time gardeners, who are new to the area. A frequent question at our Master Gardener plant diagnostic clinic is “What can I grow here in Kittitas County?” This brochure is designed to help answer that question, listing trees, shrubs, and perennials that are suitable for this area.

  • Impact of Structured Water on Yield and Crop Quality of Radish (Raphanus Sativus L.)
    Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 30, No. 5 (2021), 4895-4899 DOI: 10.15244/pjoes/131807 ONLINE PUBLICATION DATE: 2021-08-09 Short Communication Impact of Structured Water on Yield and Crop Quality of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) Mirosław Gluch1, Jacek Gronek1, Jan Karch1, Andrzej Skrobiszewski1, Piotr Chohura2* 1Hydreset AG, Alti Luzeinerstrass 2, 7240 Küblis 6, Switzerland 2Department of Horticulture, The Faculty of Life Sciences and Technology, Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences; Grunwaldzki Sq. 24A, 50-363 Wrocław, Poland Received: 3 October 2020 Accepted: 18 December 2020 Abstract In the field experiment, radish was grown in the spring cycle and was watered with two types of water. Tap water (control) and structured water were used for irrigation. The use of structured water for radish irrigation contributed significantly to increase the yield in radish roots compared to the tap water. Radish watered with structured water contained more photosynthetic pigments and carotenoids compared to the control. The vitamin C content in radish leaves and roots was higher when tap water was used for irrigation, while nitrates level was lower after structured water using. The use of different types of water for radish watering had no significant effect on the concentration of minerals in the roots. The research confirmed the beneficial effect of structured water on the yield and the quality of the radish and revealed the possibility of using it for plants irrigation. Keywords: structured water, radish, Raphanus sativus, vegetable crops, yield Introduction yield, but also enhances productivity and fertility in some animal breedings. Nevertheless, the effect and Water is essential for all human beings due to its the role of structured water in agriculture and other significant and complex role in life processes such branches of industry are still need to be proven.

  • Athyrium Niponicum 'Pictum'
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 30 Jan 2004 Athyrium niponicum ‘Pictum’ The Perennial Plant Association has named Athyrium niponicum ‘Pictum’ the 2004 Perennial Plant of the Year. This perennial low-maintenance Japanese painted fern is one of the showiest ferns for shade gardens. It is popular due to its hardiness nearly everywhere in the United States, except in the desert and northernmost areas in zone 3. ‘Pictum’ grows 18 inches tall and as it multiplies can make a clump that is more than two feet wide. ‘Pictum’ produces 12- to 18-inch fronds that are a soft shade of metallic silver-gray with hints of red and blue. This lovely fern, which prefers partial to full shade, makes an outstanding combination plant for adding color, texture, and habit to landscape beds and containers. Landscape Uses The magnifi cent texture and color of the fronds electrify shady areas of the garden and make the fern a wonderful companion for a variety of shade plants. Japanese painted fern provides a nice contrast to other shade-loving perennials such as hosta, bleeding heart, columbine, Fronds of Athyrium niponicum ‘Pictum’ astilbe and coral bells. A popular combination is Japanese painted fern with Hosta ‘Patriot’ and ‘Ginko Craig’. For something different, try Hosta sieboldiana ‘Elegans’. Another friendly companion plant for the Japanese painted fern is Tiarella (foam fl ower). One of the most unique possibilities is to use this fern with sedges. Carex (sedges) are shade-loving, easy-to-grow grasslike plants. Try Carex morrowii ‘Variegata’ or Carex siderosticha ‘Silver Sceptre’.

  • Leaf Peltate Glandular Trichomes of Vernonia Galamensis Ssp

All rights reserved. 1058-5893/2008/16905-0002$15.00 DOt: 10.1086/533598 LEAF PELTATE GLANDULAR TRICHOMES OF VERNONIA GALAMENSIS SSP. GALAMENSIS VAR. ETHIOPICA GILBERT: DEVELOPMENT, ULTRASTRUCTURE, AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION Françoise Favi,l Charles L. Cantrell,t Tadesse Mebrahtu, and Mark E. Kraemer *Agricultural Research Station, Virginia State University, Petersburg, Virginia 23805, U.S.A.; and tUSDA-ARS, Natural Products Utilization Research Unit, University, Mississippi 38677, U.S.A. Plants from the genus Vernonia produce a variety of flavonoids and bitter sesquiterpene tactones important for agriculture and human health. Leaf glandular trichornes of Vernonia galainensis ssp. galamensis var. ethiopica Gilbert (VGAE) were investigated for ultrastructural development and content composition because sesquiter- pene lactones that impart a bitter taste to the leaves have been associated with the presence of these glands. Trichome ultrastructure was examined using LM, SEM, and TEM. Glands were removed from the leaf surface, and the chemical composition of gland contents was determined using HPLC and high-resolution mass spec- trometry. Immature and mature 10-celled peltatc hiseriate glandular trichomes were present only at the abaxial side of the leaf. A large subcuticular space (head) developed from the most distal cell pair of the mature trichome and gradually filled with an osmiophillic substance. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that the peltate trichome is a major source of prevernocistifolide-8-O-isobutyrate. This glaucolide-type sesquiterpene lactone was previously identified as a major constituent of the aerial parts of VGAL. Keywords: glaucolides, sesquiterpene lactones, Vernonia galanzensis, trichomes.

The range of habitats and host plants used by this species is wider than commonly believed. While many populations are found in seasonal or permanent wetlands, others are located in dry, old fields or woodland areas. The host plants used vary with habitat, but they include all major primary hosts and many second­ ary hosts previously reported plus several new records.

  • Turtleheads— the Genus Chelone by Todd Boland, Research Horticulturist, MUNBG
    Turtleheads— The Genus Chelone by Todd Boland, Research Horticulturist, MUNBG It seems that most of the flower arrangements. genera of plants grown in our North American gardens hail from Europe or Asia. Only a handful of ornamentals are purely North American natives with Phlox, Rudbeckia and Echinacea as a few examples. Another genus, perhaps not as popular as the species previously mentioned, is Chelone, commonly called turtlehead. In Greek mythology, Chelone was a nymph who made derogatory remarks about the marriage of Zeus and Hera. In retribution, she was turned into a Chelone glabra tortoise, condemning her to eternal silence. Within the Greek language, The most widespread species is the “chelone” then became the word for white turtlehead or balmony, C. tortoise (and hence the common name glabra. This plant extends west as far for this plant). as Manitoba and Minnesota, east to Newfoundland and south as far as There are only 4 species within the Georgia and Mississippi.
