In mid-June it ‘snows’ in our region because we live in the native range of the eastern cottonwood tree (Populus deltoids). Also known as the eastern poplar, it ranges from the east coast to North Dakota and Texas. At a relatively young age, 5 to 10 years, it begins producing seed. As the cottonwood grows seed production increases rapidly. It has been estimated that a full grown tree can produce 48 million seeds per year! That’s where the ‘snow’ comes in. Cottonwood seeds are in capsules on catkins that are up to eight inches long. These catkins are covered by white ‘cotton’ that allows the seeds to be carried by the wind and on the water. In areas where there are several mature trees it will look like snow is falling as the cottony masses float through the air. The ground nearby will be white as will any waterways.
Mission Statement
Many people find the seeds objectionable and male (seedless) clones have been developed. Even so, the cottonwood is not the best tree for landscape settings. It is often planted because it grows very fast; an ‘instant’ shade tree will develop in about 10 years! But, that fast growth results in a weak-wooded, short-lived tree. It breaks up in storms and is otherwise messy in dropping leaves and twigs.

Cilantro Equals Coriander
By Sue Gwise, Horticulture Educator coriander was used to treat many ailments including digestive troubles, lack of appetite, and to ward off small pox. It also works as a sedative and it may lower cholesterol levels.
If you do any type of cooking you are probably familiar with cilantro and coriander. Cilantro is the trendy herb right now. We think of it mainly as an herb that is added to Hispanic recipes and as a flavoring for sweet recipes like cakes and breads. Both of these herbs come for the same plant—Coriandrum sativum. In the Spanish language, cilantro means coriander. In the US, the leaves, which have a pungent lemon flavor, are referred to as cilantro. Coriander refers to the sweet seeds which are used whole or ground.
Like most herbs, coriander is very easy to grow. It grows best in full sun and rich soil. The plant grows to about two feet tall and will develop white flower umbels that resemble the Queen Anne’s lace flower. Pinch the flowers off as they develop to encourage more leafy growth, but let a few flowers develop in order to harvest the seeds. Collect the seeds when they have turned brown, but before they drop off the plant. Keep the seeds for six months before using them—their flavor improves with age.
Native to the Mediterranean regions of Europe and Africa, coriander is one of the oldest documented herbs. It is mentioned in the Bible and in Sanskrit and Egyptian texts. Coriander seeds were found in the tomb of King Tutankhamun. In Tudor England coriander seeds were coated in sugar as a candy.
Cilantro leaves can be dried, but they really don’t taste like anything. Freezing is an option but I haven’t tried that yet, so I don’t know if the leaves lose flavor like the dried version. Better yet, for a constant supply of leaves, grow cilantro indoors over the winter. Place an ample pot in a sunny window and keep the plants pinched back.
As a culinary herb the coriander plant is very versatile. The leaves and stems can be used as a flavoring, the root can be cooked like a vegetable, and the seeds are used in Oriental, Indian, and Hispanic cuisine. Medicinally,

July Tips 2015 By Amy Ivy, Regional Horticulture Educator
one large flower. If you pinch out that growing tip to the first pair of side shoots, you’ll direct the plants energy to those shoots and the ones below them.
Keep it Up! Here’s your monthly pep talk: Don’t give up on weeding yet! You can do it! A little bit every few days will keep you ahead of them! Your plants will thank you! You’re almost done with this row. Go, gardener, go!
It is also very helpful to regularly pinch your hanging baskets, planters, and window boxes. This keeps them nice and bushy and encourages those side shoots for more flowers. Even the plants you chose to spill over the sides and trail down will look better with occasional pruning. Think of it like cutting hair. Use scissors and cut back a few of the most straggly stems to encourage them to fill out as well.
I recently took an exercise class and the instructor kept us going with lines like these. If you’re feeling daunted by all the weeds in your garden, you can play a mental tape in your head of me shouting these encouragements to you as you weed. Whatever it takes to keep you at it! For many of us, weeding is our least favorite gardening chore. But really, if you do a little bit every day or so, you can keep ahead of them and it will truly make a difference. I like to tackle one section at a time and do a thorough job there so I can see the difference. The first eight weeks are the most crucial for the success of your vegetable or flower garden. If you do a good job now your plants will be able to develop a good root system and then you can slack off in August if you want, since those strong plants will be able to fend for themselves pretty well.
And don’t forget to regularly feed any of these flowering planters. The plants are crowded on purpose, to give a full effect, but they are competing with each other for food and water. Plan to give your planters liquid fertilizer at least every couple of weeks to keep them looking their best.
Leek Moth Lookout If you grow any of the alliums, such as onions, garlic, leeks, chives, shallots, or scallions, please check those plants throughout the summer for signs of leek moth damage. We are monitoring the spread of this recent invasive species and I would greatly appreciate hearing about any new infestations. There is lots of information and photos showing damage to each of these crops on this website, http://web.entomology.cornell.edu/ shelton/leek-moth/, or you can just type “leek moth cornell” into your search engine and this will be the first site in the list.
But until at least the middle of July, keep after those weeds! Pull them, chop them, mulch them, just don’t let them compete with your young garden plants.
Pinch for More Flowers I realize it may seem counter-intuitive but pinching off flowers on your annual plants actually produces more flowers. The more you pinch, the more you’ll get, within reason. It is especially helpful to pinch out the tallgrowing varieties of zinnias, marigolds, snapdragons, sweet peas, and ageratum. The growing tip is dominant and if left alone you’ll get one tall zinnia shoot topped by
If you notice damage but are not sure, please get a sample to your local CCE office or email a photograph. Thanks very much for helping us track this pest. 4
secondary growth on both plants is more compact and orderly than the original so it fits nicely into my garden for the rest of the summer. Baptisia won’t bloom a second time but its beautiful foliage makes an excellent backdrop for the rest of the summer show.

Cut Back the Floppers Water
Delphinium and baptisia are two of my favorite perennials. They are large and dramatic and bloom early in the season when I’m eager to have some color in my garden. But both tend to flop over as they finish blooming. Delphinium are easy – just cut the flowering stalk all the way to the ground as soon as the last flower falls. It seems drastic but the plant will push out new growth that will bloom again in late summer. The sooner you cut out the old flower stalks, the sooner that second bloom will come.
June was an extremely wet month and most gardens were too wet and soggy. But all bets are off for the rest of the summer. When the season starts out wet, plant roots stay shallow to reach for some oxygen that the waterlogged soil lacks. But then if a dry spell occurs later in the summer, these shallow-rooted plants are not well suited for getting by. During a normal year the roots grow down and out, anchoring the plants well and making them better able to seek out pockets of water during dry periods. A dry period is bound to occur sooner or later this summer, so be ready to help your shallow-rooted plants through. Pay attention to them as the soil dries out. There’s no easy answer for how much water they need. It all depends on the soil type, plant spacing, wind, and so on. Watch your plants for cues and when in doubt, dig a hole to check the soil moisture a few inches down where most roots grow.
Baptisia takes a little more nerve. It’s a beautiful plant, even when not in flower, but it’s large and tends to flop over on top of all its neighbors. My single plant takes up a full six foot in diameter circle in my garden. One year I got frustrated with it and chopped most of it to the ground in July. Much to my relief, it reacted like the delphinium by quickly pushing up lots of fresh, new growth. This 5
Buckthorn and Honeysuckle— the Evil Twins of Invasive Plants By Sue Gwise, Horiculture Educator
If you have any idle (un-mowed) areas on your property, most likely you are harboring one (and probably both) of these ubiquitous invaders. Both out-compete native species by forming dense thickets that are difficult to bring under control.
honeysuckles that are fabulous and well-behaved like the American fly-honeysuckle (Lonicera canadensis) and trumpet honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens), but these are few and far between. The honeysuckles that I am referring to are the exotic bush honeysuckles (native to Europe and Asia) and they are everywhere!
Upon hearing this most people will say, “Honeysuckle! I love that plant!” And yes, we do have native

getting to the stems to cut the plants down! Once the stems are cut, immediately spray the stumps with a glyphosate product (Round-up). Diligently monitor the area for seedlings and suckers and remove them ASAP. Remember that glyphosate will kill or damage any plant that it touches. Avoid spraying near desirable plants. Once the evil twins are under control (this may take a few years), re-plant with native species and continue to scout the area.
Equally evil are two other species that look and behave in a similar fashion. They are the non-native buckthornscommon buckthorn (Rhamnus carthartica) and glossy buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula). Again, we do have native buckthorns that are just fine; an example is the alderleaved buckthorn (Rhamnus alnifolia). But our native species are much smaller (3 to 6 feet tall) and much better behaved!
Controlling these nasty plants can be difficult and time consuming. In dense stands it can be problematic just
