Mow your Zoysia lawn once a month – or less! It rewards you with weed-free beauty all summer long.

...you can end such lawn drudgery – here’s how!

7 Ways Our Amazoy Zoysia Lawn ™

1

Saves You Time, Work and Money!

CUTS WATER BILLS AND MOWING BY AS MUCH AS 2/3 Would you believe a lawn could look perfect when watered just once? In Iowa, the state’s biggest Men’s Garden club picked a Zoysia lawn as “top lawn – nearly perfect.” Yet, this lawn had been watered only once all summer to August!

In PA, Mrs. M.R. Mitter wrote, “I’ve never watered it, only when I put the plugs in...Last summer we had it mowed 2 times...When everybody’s lawns here are brown from drought, ours stays as green as ever.” That’s how Amazoy Zoysia lawns cut water bills and mowing! Now read on!

5

IT STAYS GREEN IN SPITE OF HEAT AND DROUGHT “The hotter it gets, the better it grows!” Plug-in Zoysia thrives in blistering heat, yet it won’t winter-kill to 30° below zero. It just goes off its green color after killing frosts, and begins regaining its green color as temperatures in the spring are consistently warm.

2

NO NEED TO DIG UP OLD GRASS Plant Amazoy your way in an old lawn or new ground. Set plugs into holes in the soil checkerboard style. Plugs spread to create a lush, thick lawn, driving out weeds and unwanted growth.

Easy instructions included with every order.

3

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY No weeding means no costly chemicals. Since Amazoy Zoysia lawns naturally resist insects, you’ll save money, while helping to protect the environment.

You’ll never have to expose your family and pets to the risk of weed killers and pesticide poisons.

4

FOR SLOPES, PLAY AREAS, BARE SPOTS AND PARTIAL SHADE You can’t beat Amazoy Zoysia as the low-cost answer for hard-to-cover spots, play-worn areas, places that have partial shade and erosion on slopes.

Meyer Zoysia Grass was perfected by the U.S. Gov’t, released in cooperation with the U.S. Golf Association as a superior grass.

Thrives from partial shade to full sun.

NC Co-ops Vote: Make your Voice Heard

By Paul Mott

This year, North Carolina electric co-op voters will have the opportunity to vote for candidates who will represent them in Washington, D.C., and Raleigh. North Carolina’s electric cooperatives are advocating for these voters and their issues through NC Co-ops Vote, a non-partisan effort to encourage the 2.5 million electric co-op members in 93 of the state’s 100 counties to be informed, engaged voters.

As part of this effort, electric co-op employees and members will be monitoring candidates’ positions on co-op issues including broadband, economic development, infrastructure and more. The last few years have seen greater awareness and steps taken to improve the quality of life for co-op members in mostly rural communities.

This progress would not have occurred without rural communities across the country showing up to vote

in the 2016 and 2018 elections. With this increased participation, elected officials took notice of many rural issues. There is still much work to be done and our continued participation in each election will help our priorities receive the proper attention in Congress and at the NC General Assembly. The 2020 election will provide an opportunity to continue to make progress for rural communities.

North Carolina’s electric cooperatives continuously engage with elected officials to advocate for issues important to co-op members. As part of our NC Co-ops Vote program, co-op employees and members will attend campaign events for national and statewide races in their communities. They will present a united front by wearing an NC Co-ops Vote “Yellow Shirt” to provide unity and emphasize the co-op presence.

Last month, Rutherford EMC Mike Hensdill/The Gaston Gazette

Rutherford EMC’s Brad Bridges in his yellow shirt at a candidate forum in Gastonia

employee Brad Bridges represented NC Co-ops Vote at a candidate forum in Gastonia. At this event, Brad had the chance to speak with several candidates and hear about their priorities if elected to office.

“As a co-op member and employee, I stay informed on the issues that impact our community. Last month, I was able to hear firsthand from several candidates for statewide office about how they would serve our state,” Brad said. “While co-op voters may not agree on every single candidate, if we are educated on what each candidate stands for, we can make better decisions at the ballot box.”

During each event, electric co-op members and employees will look for opportunities to ask candidates the “Co-op Question:” “I’m a member of an electric cooperative. What is your plan to encourage energy innovation while maintaining affordable, reliable electricity for residential consumers like me?”

NC Co-ops Vote will engage with candidates from both sides of the aisle and will not endorse any candidates for election. With North Carolina’s primary election taking place March 3, there will be several upcoming opportunities to attend a campaign event with NC Co-ops Vote. Like/ follow NC Co-ops Vote on Facebook and follow us on Twitter using @NCCoopsVote to stay updated on upcoming opportunities and voter information.

THIS MONTH:

Bees in the Garden Ever dreamed of harvesting honey from your own backyard? Make it a reality with lessons from the pros in this month’s cover story. You’ll also find great gardening tips throughout, as well as news of the latest electric co-op microgrid, on page 6.

—Scott Gates, editor

EV Convert I was encouraged to read in your January edition about the upcoming electric vehicle (EV) charging network that is being developed as a coordinated effort of the NC electric cooperatives (“Tech-Driven Cooperation,” page 4). Supporting this new paradigm of personal transportation is to be applauded.

My wife (the early adopter in our family) recently purchased an EV as both of our existing vehicles were older and of high mileage. She commutes 110 miles per day as a medical professional and needs a safe and reliable automobile.

I rebuffed the proposed purchase as being untested technology and just a new fad. She called my bluff as nothing but fear of change, and in 45 minutes had ordered her new EV online. I was astonished and afraid!

Now that we have driven the car for a few weeks I am even more astonished, but no longer afraid. Electric cars are smooth, quiet, easy, clean and cheap to operate. Plug it in at night, and it’s ready to go in the morning. We can schedule it to charge when demand is low (“super off-peak”) to more efficiently utilize the power grid and to lower our cost of operation.

The future is here, and it is electric vehicles for all.

Absent Doves I was saddened to read two articles in the December 2019 issue that listed doves and quail as few in number for hunting (“The Elusive Dove,” page 5, and “Woodcock Await Upland Hunters,” page 34). In the last year and a half, I’ve only seen two doves at my bird feeders. I love the sound doves make and am always looking for them.

I hope these two species won’t be the next birds hunted to extinction like the Carolina parakeet and passenger pigeon. I would welcome an article about conservation in your wonderful magazine.

Agricultural Microgrid in the Works in Hyde County Partnership includes Tideland EMC and Rose Acre Farms North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives are partnering with Hyde County egg producer Rose Acre Farms and its local electric cooperative, Tideland EMC, to develop an agricultural microgrid that will deliver a variety of benefits to the farm and surrounding community, including enhanced environmental sustainability and power grid resiliency.

The project will integrate solar panels, energy storage and other components owned by North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives with resources owned by the farm to create a microgrid that is capable of generating its own electricity during times of power loss. It will also be connected to the main grid to diversify traditional power resources and help improve reliability and resiliency.

“We’ve been pleased to work with Rose Acre Farms to develop this collaborative solution that will contribute to the overall environmental and economic health of our region,” said Paul Spruill, CEO of Tideland EMC. “Rose Acre Farms is Tideland’s largest consumer-member, and we commend their commitment to sustainability and ingenuity that will benefit our entire cooperative.”

Expanding innovation This partnership builds on the success of and lessons learned from other microgrid projects developed by North

Rose Acre Farms

Technical specs The first phase of the project will include the installation of a 2-megawatt (MW) solar array, and a 2-MW battery energy storage system, which allow energy generated by the panels to be stored and dispatched when needed.

The solar production is expected to offset about a third of the energy consumed by the farm. In addition, about 60 percent of the power Rose Acre Farms receives from Tideland EMC comes from emissions-free nuclear power and renewables.

“Rose Acre Farms is continually seeking innovative practices to reduce the carbon footprint of egg production,” said Tony Wesner, Rose Acre Farms Chief Operating Officer. “This partnership with North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives and Tideland EMC will be another positive step into enhancing environmental sustainability, power source efficiency and resiliency. This will not only strengthen our local electric cooperative for our use, but for the use of the local Hyde County community as well.”

Installation of the solar array and battery energy storage system is expected to be completed in the fall of 2020. The second phase of the project will add a microgrid controller that manages existing emergency backup diesel generators and all the other components to evolve the project into a full microgrid.

Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives, including microgrids at Ocracoke Island (also located in Hyde County), Butler Farms (another agricultural microgrid), and Heron’s Nest (the state’s first residential microgrid), and will provide additional opportunities to explore microgrid innovation and capabilities.

“This project brings together two of our state’s most significant industries in an innovative effort to make the electric grid more sustainable, flexible and efficient, which results in more affordable, reliable and environmentally responsible power for the farm and for electric co-op members,” said Lee Ragsdale, senior vice president of energy delivery for North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives.

“It also exemplifies the electric co-ops’ long-standing commitment to supporting North Carolina’s agriculture and agribusiness industries.”

Grants Support NC Agriculture Applications being accepted through March 6

NC Farmers: Report Inadequate Internet Access The North Carolina Broadband Infrastructure Office, with the Friday Institute at NC State University, is conducting a five-minute survey to gather data on internet connectivity from North Carolina farmers. The data will be used to inform research, policy and funding recommendations to assist communities where internet access is inadequate.

Participants without internet access will need to take the online survey from another location, such as a public library. Participants with farm offices that do have internet access should access the survey from that location and are encouraged to take an optional speed test.

“Access to high-speed internet is a critical business need for North Carolina’s farmers, enabling energysaving technology and helping them

remain competitive agribusinesses,” said Mark Suggs, executive vice president and general manager for Farmville-based Pitt & Green EMC. Suggs is among those working with federal policymakers to enable technology for agricultural operations.

“Electric cooperatives have made the issue a priority with our elected officials. Data from the survey of farmers will help drive future policy and funding.”

The survey was developed in part from information gathered during NC Farm Bureau Federation listening sessions conducted with local farmers and agriculture partners.

Take The Short Survey ncbroadband.gov/farmers Deadline: April 30

Applications are now being accepted for the 2020 NC Tobacco Trust Fund Commission (NCTTFC) grant cycle.

Funds will be awarded in the fall for selected innovative projects, with key objectives to support the agricultural industry, impact rural communities and stimulate economic development.

“The NCTTFC is always interested in job creation in current or former tobacco-dependent regions, and funding projects that have the potential to generate additional income for farmers and those in the industry,” said NCTTFC Chairman Bill Teague.

“Selected projects should expect to start in November of 2020.”

The Commission was established in 2000 by the NC General Assembly to help members of the tobacco community, including farmers, tobacco workers and related businesses. Past projects include fair and farmers market improvements, cost-share grant programs for farmers, training for qualified farm family members in community colleges, researching alternative crops and support of agricultural education programs.

The application deadline is March 6, 2020. Visit tobaccotrustfund.org for more information or call 919-733-2160.

Electric Co-ops Among Innovators at Electrification Conference Charlotte will play host to the Electrification 2020 conference and expo in April, sponsored in part by North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives. The event is the second of its kind hosted by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), a nonprofit energy industry research and development group.

The international conference will draw together industry leaders, including speakers from North Carolina’s electric cooperatives, to discuss new ways energy technology can be used to create efficiencies and reduce carbon emissions.

“Electrification 2020 is all about beneficial electrification — improving efficiency of the overall energy sector by electrifying processes

and devices formerly powered by fossil fuels,” said Diane Huis, senior vice president of Innovation & Business Development for North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives. “We’re happy to have this year’s event in our own backyard, where we can share some of the ways electric co-ops have been using new technology to better serve their members.”

Visit electrification2020.com for more information on the event, to be held April 6–9 at the Charlotte Convention Center. Discounted conference admission is available for representatives of large commercial or industrial businesses. Contact your electric co-op for more information.

Wake Electric Honors Local NASA Leader James E. Webb laid the foundation for the moon landing

By Cynthia M. Currin

The early years Webb was born in Tally Ho in Granville County and grew up in Oxford. His father, J.F. Webb, was Granville County School Superintendent. J.F. and his wife, Sarah, stressed academics, hard work and integrity.

Webb graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1928 with a degree in Education. He returned to Oxford and worked by day as a clerk for local businessman R.G. Lassiter. By night, Webb “studied law” as a law clerk with an Oxford attorney, a foundation he later built on with a law degree from Georgetown University.

In 1930, Webb answered an ad in the New York Times for Marine aviators. He trained to be a Marine biplane pilot in Quantico, Virginia, and re-enlisted during World War II to serve as a major at Cherry Point.

Between 1932 and 1960, Webb climbed to executive-level positions for Sperry Gyroscope Corporation and Kerr-McGee in Brooklyn and Oklahoma. Webb also worked for NC Congressman Edward W. Pou and practiced law in a Washington, D.C., Law Firm. He served as the Director of Bureau of the Budget in 1944 (where he balanced the U.S. budget) and was appointed Under Secretary of State in 1949.

On to NASA In 1961, Webb was invited to the White House by President John F. Kennedy to discuss the position of NASA Administrator. He intended to refuse any such offer. However, after meeting with the president in the Oval Office, Webb suddenly found himself being steered onto the White House Portico — President Kennedy was slapping him on the back, handing him a cigar and congratulating him on his appointment. The Press Corps was there, firing questions at Webb. His wife, Patsy, was surprised to hear the announcement on the radio.

From that fateful meeting, Webb went on to lead and restructure NASA. Its staff grew to 35,000, supporting an additional 400,000 contractors, and Webb successfully increased the moon landing budget from $8 billion to $20 billion (much closer to the Apollo program’s final $25 billion price tag.)

Webb dressed impeccably, was always polite and retained his disarming Southern accent. He refused to use a government limousine due to its cost to taxpayers, instead always hailing a Black Checker Taxi.

He created invaluable partnerships between NASA and universities. His personal agenda promoted science, technology and the Apollo Program to strengthen the United States educationally and economically.

Saving the space program In 1967, three Apollo I astronauts died in a flash fire during launch pad tests at Kennedy Space Center. Webb withstood torrents of criticism and took a major beating from Congress.

He succeeded in saving the space program by setting himself up as the lightning rod, taking full responsibility for the tragedy. Webb worked

Wake Forest-based Wake Electric recently launched its Webb Technology Contest to award two high school students with an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., in June 2020. (members of Wake Electric can visit wemc.com/webb-contest for details and eligibility). The contest is named after former NASA Administrator and visionary James E. Webb — one of North Carolina’s best-kept secrets.

seven days a week for six months after the Apollo fire to get NASA back on track and gain renewed confidence in the space program.

He left NASA in October 1968 — ahead of the first moon landing on July 20, 1969 — so that President Nixon could name his own administrator. But the success of the Apollo XI mission was credited largely to Webb’s dedicated efforts from 1961 through 1968.

Webb was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Johnson in 1969, and went on to serve as a Regent of the Smithsonian Institute. He died on March 27, 1992, at the age of 85. His grave marker at Arlington National Cemetery states simply: “Lt. Colonel, U.S. Marine Corps, Public Servant.” NASA’s newest deep-space telescope is named for Webb (see page 28). From rural Granville County to Administrator of NASA, his legacy has touched all our lives and will live on.

Cynthia M. Currin has served as General Counsel to Wake EMC and Central EMC since 1980. Cynthia’s husband, John Webb, is the nephew of former NASA Administrator James E. Webb.

uzz on these prolific pollinators

Thousands of honey bees zip and dive around Betsey Spencer’s hatless and jacketless body.

“They’re starting to get a little rambunctious,” the 67-year-old beekeeping mentor says calmly.

“Well, we woke them up, didn’t we?” replies 74-year-old beekeeping mentee Katie Verna.

Katie peers into the open hive to see frames stuffed with pollen, honey and brood. “Gol dang! You girls have been busy!” she exclaims. As bees buzz and brush her bare legs, she fondly chastises them, “Hey, get off my sock!”

When Katie first got involved in beekeeping three years ago, the Creedmoor resident and Wake Electric member took a class through a beekeeping store in nearby Raleigh.

She graduated with her first hive and immediately reached out to a county beekeeping association, which set her up with Betsey, an experienced beekeeper in Franklinton. That’s when Katie’s beekeeping education truly began, fueled by Betsey’s 16 years of hands-on wisdom earned by maintaining as many as 140 hives.

The two share a passion for these prolific pollinators—in fact, we all should. It’s estimated that as much as one-third of the fruits, vegetables and nuts we eat only grow because these crops are pollinated by bees, according to the American Beekeeping Federation.

You like to eat? Then you like bees.

‘Bee’ a beekeeper

So maybe you would like to help feed the world and bump up the pollinator population? Or maybe you’re just in it for the honey (no judgement). Here are the top 10 tips to kick off your beekeeping venture:

1

Ask yourself: “Can I have bees where I live?”

Make sure local regulations allow you to have bees. If you have an acre of land, this should be able to support a hive or two. Honey bees forage up to 5 miles from their home base, so they should do well if you have plenty of flowering plants, water and sunshine within your vicinity.

2

4

Find a mentor.

This is where the bulk of your learning will happen. A local beekeeping club should be able to pair you with an experienced keeper who should be willing to dive into your hives with you. An hour with such a person is worth its weight in golden honey.

Make a beeline to learn.

Read some books, or visit some sites like honeybeesuite.com. Try “Simple, Smart Beekeeping” by Kirsten Shoshanna Traynor, or something gorgeous and moving like the memoir “A Book of Bees” by Sue Hubbell. Get inspired by these fascinating creatures. Bee biology, Varroa mites, flowers, beekeeping jargon, pollination—knowledge yields the wherewithal to keep your hives alive.

6

Take a class.

Local beekeeping stores and clubs often offer classes that run January through March and culminate in your own package of 12,000+ bees for kicking off your first hive.

Go with the flow.

Beekeeping is a process. Put aside grand visions of sharing your vast honey harvest with friends and concentrate on learning. You will lose hives. You will make mistakes. But you will also become a better beekeeper.

Share the bounty.

With the bees. Don’t be greedy; remember that bees need honey, too!

The first year or two, you may need to let them have it all until they are better established. continued on page 12

Beekeeping Protective Gear & Essential Tools Although experienced beekeeper Betsey Spencer often bypasses protective gear, using solely a smoker, most beginners feel more comfortable with the following items in their arsenal:

Brush: A brush comes in handy to gently remove bees while observing a frame or harvesting honey.

er

Veiled hat: If you don’t have a bee suit with a hood, you’ll want to add a veiled hat to your ensemble.

Gloves: Thick work gloves may be too cumbersome for bee work while thin latex ones may add some mental comfort. If you get stung on your hand, it’s often because you accidentally crushed a bee.

Hive tool: A hive tool is a small crowbar for separating the boxes that make up your beehive, which are often stuck together with beeswax and/or propolis.

Smoker: A smoker (typically filled with lit pine straw) will calm the bees, buying you time to check on them or harvest honey. Fun fact: The smoke makes the bees think there is a forest fire, causing them to gorge on honey in case they need to find a new home in short order.

Long sleeves/ long pants: You can purchase a head-to-toe bee suit that includes a hood/face covering, but you can also just wear long pants and sleeves.

7

Double up.

Two hives is better than one.

If one hive is failing and the other thriving, you can steal brood or food from the strong hive to supplement the weaker one.

8

Play with your bees.

Learn by observing your new pets. See their pollen baskets, watch their orientation flights, pick out the queen (she can be hard to locate, like a game of “Where’s Waldo?”) and her entourage. Reverence!

9

Keep an eye on your hives.

Inspect your hives every 7–10 days in order to head off disease and maintain a healthy hive. Much more and your interference becomes a detriment to their work.

Fixing the plight of the pollinators

By Greta Burroughs Many populations of native bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, hummingbirds and other pollinators are disappearing due to overuse of pesticides, habitat loss due to agriculture and development, and changes in the climate.

Bee Cities are doing their part to make a difference. Their goal is to make the world safer for pollinators—one city and campus at a time.

Bee City USA Phyllis Stiles personally witnessed the decline of honeybees as she tried her hand at beekeeping in Asheville During this time, she also became aware of the vital role native pollinators play in the world.

“A light went on; the pollinators were in trouble and something needed to be done,” Phyllis recalls.

She and some friends came up with a plan and started Bee City USA (beecityusa.org). The project launched in 2012 with Asheville as the inaugural haven for pollinators.

Through the program, affiliate Bee Cities across the country incorporate native flowers, shrubs and trees into their urban landscaping to encourage beneficial insects to make a home among the pollinator gardens.

Visit beecityusa.org/current-bee-cities to find a Bee City near you. Plan a visit and learn all sorts of things about landscaping with pollinators in mind.

Freelance writer Greta Burroughs can usually be found typing madly away at her home in South Carolina, where she resides with her husband and three dogs.

Tara Verna

Accept that stings happen.

Stings are unavoidable when working with bees. Be aware of any allergies you or your family may have, and be ready for a sting. But take heart that honey bees are generally docile.

Plus, you can minimize stings with protective gear, and by working carefully and calmly around bees (most stings occur when keepers unknowingly smash a bee). If stung, you can use an extractor kit to quickly remove venom from the wound. Or, in a pinch, even a small stick can be used to scrape the stinger from the sting site.

Bee Cities

‘Bee’ an advocate

Katie and Betsey work their bees in harmony, ebbing and flowing around one another as they read hive frames like a book, looking for signs of disease, hunger, overcrowding or lack of a queen.

“Used to be, bees took care of themselves,” Betsey explains. “These days, you can’t just be a ‘bee haver,’ you must manage them if you want them to survive.”

Perhaps managing bees isn’t for you—space, money, time and allergies can all get in the way. Luckily, there are plenty of other ways to be there for the bees.

Betsey “reads” a frame to determine the health of the hive and whether her help is needed. She will write notes on the side of the hive in order to track its status.

A bee uses her straw-like proboscis to gather honey spilled during a honey harvest.

“You don’t have to be a beekeeper to help bees. In fact, it is just as important to advocate for them,” Betsey says.

Help preserve the bees’ environment and food supply. In the same ways that you look to feed yourself and your family healthy food, people need to grow nutritious food for bees. But we’re not. Farmers grow crops that are cut at 10 percent bloom to maximize protein content for livestock, according to honeybeesuite.com. Herbicides wipe out weeds along highways and drainages. And invasive species may provide forage briefly, but then wipe out other native species that would have provided a longer bloom season.

How to help? Grow your own diverse, pesticide-and-herbicide-free plants that bloom year-round. (Weeds count, too!) Put out shallow water stations with stones for bee landing spots. Also, consider lobbying legislators and educating others to change laws and habits to be more amenable to bees.

Support efforts to educate.

From STEM programs for children and “teaching apiaries” created by beekeeping organizations, to state fair exhibits and 4-H programs, education is key to a sound future for bees.

As famed Senegalese forestry engineer Baba Dioum put it, “In the end, we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand and we will understand only what we are taught.”

Buy local honey. There’s no greater win-win than a local honey purchase at a farmer’s market. Support the beekeeper’s efforts and feed your sweet tooth, all in one go!

‘Bee’ amazed

If nothing else, the more you learn about bees, the more respect you will have for this tiny insect. The worker honey bees (females who care for the hive) live 6–8 weeks and often die because their wings wear out. According to honey.com, these ladies fly 55,000 miles to produce one pound of delicious honey filled

Look closely at this worker bee to see the pollen she has stored in her “pockets.”

Some beekeepers mark their queens to be able to spot them quickly. The health of the queen is the health of the hive so it’s important to keep tabs on her.

with nutrients, antioxidants and the ability to hasten healing and keep coughs at bay.

Given that, it’s the least we can do to be good stewards of the environment on the bees’ behalf.

Gardens Growing vegetables in limited spaces

Story and photos by L.A. Jackson

An emerald green swath of pretty curly parsley at Bellingrath Gardens near Mobile, Alabama.

Spring is in the air! So, if thoughts of producing oodles of fresh, homegrown edibles have you ready to dig in the dirt, it’s time to roll up those sleeves and start a vegetable garden!

While the physics of time and space dictate that big harvests naturally come from big gardens, for backyard growers who prefer to pass on the challenges of tending mega-plots through the long, hot summer, or who simply don’t have an abundance of planting areas, there are alternative ways to raise impressive passels of veggies — it is simply a matter of making make less do more.

Go to bed

First, for maximum production from limited growing areas, go with beds, not rows — in other words, place young plants or seeds according to their recommended spacing per plant and forget about distances between rows.

Rows of plants looking like tidy lines of soldiers are better for large gardens in order to have paths to walk around, but this isn’t necessary in small beds. Accessibility is, of course, still important, so, while you can stretch ’em as long as Texas, try not to make beds over 4 feet wide — this shortens your reach into the plants and greatly minimizes embarrassing face-flops in the dirt.

Small wonders

Size isn’t everything in gardening, especially when it comes to growing backyard edibles. There are many vegetable selections — often tagged with such labels as “Bush,” “Dwarf” or “Patio,” — that are modest in height and girth, but still quite capable of producing impressive crops.

The most common big veggie that can be found in smaller sizes is the tomato. There are a ton of cultivars available, but, for starters, give “Tiny Tim,” “Bush Beefsteak” or “Early Wonder” a look. Keep in mind, however, that a majority of these slight-in-stature tomato selections are determinate, meaning they produce all the ’maters they are going to yield in a matter of weeks. Standard vine tomatoes, if kept healthy, typically crank out fruit continually over the long growing season.

Want a wider range of veggies in your small garden?

Squash, watermelons, pumpkins, cucumbers, cantaloupes and green beans — all champs at chewing up space in a planting bed — can also be found in compact forms, either as young plants or seeds, at local garden shops in the spring.

CC03_tv_new.indd 16

2/7/20 2:50 PM

Small watermelons such as “Sugar Baby” can be trained to grow up, not outwards, in a garden.

Grow up

Don’t think you have to stick to Munchkin-sized plants. Typical strong growers such as tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers and squash can’t be allowed to crawl across small growing spaces, but they can be trellised, staked or caged to grow up rather than out.

Even the long, rangy vines of watermelons, pumpkins and cantaloupes can be trained upwards on vertical supports, but to avoid the dreaded drop-and-splat factor, it’s not a bad idea to cradle the developing fruits in supporting burlap, nylon or cloth slings.

Suspension weight and size problems with standard pumpkins are obvious, but there are many cultivars, including “Spookie,” “Jack O’ Lantern” and “Sugar Pie,” that yield smaller, more manageable 6- to 7-pound fruits.

Ditto for big ol’ watermelons, but with so-called “icebox” varieties like the popular “Sugar Baby” and its 8- to 10-pound melons available, it is possible to hang ’em high, too.

Growing vine crops on erect supports has other advantages besides saving space, starting with making harvesting easier. Also, vertical gardening improves fruit shape and, since beneficial air circulates through the foliage easier, can promote healthier plants.

A (literal) bed of cabbage taking center stage in a flower garden.

Beyond the veggie patch

Looking for even more growing ground? Limited-space gardening with edibles doesn’t need to be confined to small vegetable plots — in other words, anywhere you have dirt in your yard is a potential planting site. And many veggies can be easily interplanted in the landscape as complements, rather than complications, to existing ornamentals.

One popular vegetable that bears the double standard of being both productive and pretty is the pepper.

While blocky bell peppers might look a bit clunky in flower beds, there is a wide range of hot peppers that show off long-lasting fruits in many sizes, shapes and sizzling colors on relatively compact plants.

Like bell peppers, common pudgy eggplants probably won’t qualify as eye candy in an ornamental garden, but there are vibrantly colored fruits of cultivars such as “Fairy Tale,” “Prosperosa” and “Neon” that can also add extra visual sass to sunny flower borders.

And okra, which is closely related to the lovely hibiscus, stays true to its family ties with fancy foliage and delicate, hibiscus-like flowers. One particular standout beauty is “Red Burgundy,” an heirloom selection that has been a veggie garden favorite for many years. Its gorgeous (and tasty) scarlet pods never fail to turn heads.

Tennessee Teardrops” hot peppers, “Red Burgundy” okra and spiky rosemary show off in a planting bed.

Other decorative edibles with strong, distinctive profiles such as curly spinach, cabbage, looseleaf lettuce (especially red-tinted varieties like “Red Sails” and “Lolla Rossa”), kale and Swiss chard (look for “Ruby Red” or “Bright Lights”) are low-growing and, for vegetable plants, actually rather good looking. Any of these can be successfully incorporated as accent plants for perennial beds or flower gardens. In addition, root vegetables such as carrots, onions and radishes hide their crops below ground but freely flaunt flowing foliage that can be used to fill in the fronts of border plantings.

Many herbs are also great “doubleduty” plants. Need examples?

Rosemary’s spiky leaves and delightful (as well as edible) bluish-purple flowers make it an appealing addition to any landscape setting. Bronze fennel’s smoky look is a nice touch for container planters, while the rich, dark foliage of purple basil is a horticultural fashion statement waiting to happen.

And curly parsley, with its deep emerald leaves, is an ideal alt-ornamental to line the front of a flower bed.

One word of caution about interplanting vegetables or herbs with other plants: If you spray any pesticides on neighboring ornamentals, make sure the chemicals are cleared for safe use on edible plants as well.

Carolina People

Joining Seed Savers in 1986 (seedsavers.org) took Craig beyond basic gardening. He developed an interest in finding rare varieties of plants and keeping them from becoming extinct.

He grows about 150 to 200 varieties of tomatoes each year, plus eggplants, peppers and other vegetables. His garden grows entirely in containers or straw bales.

“Tomatoes are approaching roses in terms of getting them to succeed everywhere,” he says, “but every disease, [type of] weather, humidity and critter seems to affect tomatoes.”

Lessons from the ‘NC Tomato Man’ Craig LeHoullier has far-reaching influence in the world of tomatoes

By Margaret Buranen

a

As a child, Craig LeHoullier really disliked tomatoes.

But when Craig was about 12, his grandfather offered him a tomato he had grown. That tomato was the seed that grew into a lifelong interest in growing tomatoes and sharing them with other people.

Now gardeners all across the country know Craig LeHoullier of Raleigh as the NC Tomato Man. Craig has written two gardening books (“Epic Tomatoes” and “Growing Vegetables in Straw Bales”), with a third forthcoming, on dwarf tomatoes.

“This is the tomato’s time. No gardeners in history have ever had so many tomato varieties to choose from,” Craig says. “I’m happy to be an ambassador for tomatoes. They offer an incredible diversity of subtle nuances in taste. I’m kind of a foodie [for tomatoes], like people who enjoy different coffees or teas.”

Craig estimates that over the years he has tasted about 4,000 different types of tomatoes. That much sampling has taught him that there is no correlation between a tomato’s taste and color.

He speaks at gardening shows and events, but don’t expect formal lectures.

“I like to go out and have a conversation with fellow gardeners,” he explains. “I share, they share, and I learn from them.”

Craig met his wife, Sue, now a retired nurse, while he was earning his doctorate in chemistry at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. His work for pharmaceutical corporations took them first to Philadelphia, then to Charlotte.

Tomato pro tips Because not all tomato varieties will thrive everywhere, he always advises gardeners to have an open mind. “Enjoy the journey, and don’t get hung up on growing the perfect tomato [or particular varieties].”

Craig suggests gardeners pick 10 varieties of tomatoes to grow. “Five or six [of those] won’t do well, but three or four will be outstanding.”

For NC gardens he recommends: “Cherokee Purple” (which he had the honor of naming), “Red Brandywine” and “Andrew Rahart’s Jumbo Red”; hybrids “Sun Gold,” “Big Beef” and “Lemon Boy”; and dwarf varieties “Sweet Sue” and “Blazing Beauty.”

North Carolina’s range of climate affects how different varieties will grow. For example, plants of a longer maturing variety may take 70 to 80 days to produce tomatoes in Raleigh, but need 80 to 90 days in Asheville.

To keep deer from devouring his garden, Craig uses two water scarecrows. Their motion sensors shoot out bursts of water to scare the animals away. For squirrels he recommends installing bird feeders and a birdbath.

“The birds drop seed that the squirrels eat, and they can get water from the birdbath,” he advises. “Frost cloth covering the plants will prevent the rabbits from eating them.”

Another trick is to pick tomatoes when they are only half-ripe and let them ripen inside. “Animals can smell when tomatoes are ripe and won’t eat them until then,” he explains.

Margaret Buranen writes from her home in Kentucky.

Enhancing Your Landscape Three signs you should hire a professional

In this age of do-it-yourself (DIY), many outdoor home projects look and seem doable.

The truth is, plenty of outdoor projects tackled by homeowners are better left to landscape professionals. When attempting these projects on their own, homeowners find that the jobs require more expertise than they possess.

Fortunately, certified experts are available to help turn your vision into an enjoyable reality. Here are three signs that you need a pro.

1

Your lawn looks unhealthy You see brown grass, patchy growth and weeds. You’ve tried everything from various lawn products to altered watering techniques, but nothing works.

Lawn care professionals have the education to get to the root of your yard problems. He or she can evaluate factors including the pH balance of your soil, the presence of non-native grasses or problems created by over- or under-fertilizing your lawn.

2

You want a patio You’ve viewed online pictures of patios, and think, “How hard can that be?” Hardscaping — installing elements of landscape architecture, from pathways to retaining walls — requires a skilled hand, careful consideration of the best materials, plus knowledge of placement and installation. A professional will know what materials work best for your region and existing landscape and can assess your yard to consider issues that could affect your new feature.

3

You want a cohesive design You want new flowers and lush greenery but don’t know where to start. You’d also like a more comprehensive look to your yard that has features such as lighting or pathways to complement the new plantings.

Landscapers and landscape designers are trained in proper plant selection, understand what grows best in specific soil conditions, and know how to achieve a balance of colors, textures and variety. They can add attractive focal points such as pathways, pergolas, statuary, lighting, fountains, ponds and waterfalls. They also know how to use plantings and other features to change or camouflage any unsightly areas of your yard.

The design process begins with a consultation. Usually it is free, but ask first. A landscaper or landscape designer will walk your property with you, discuss your budget, wishes and needs for your spaces and then present a proposal. Depending on the scope of your project and your budget, you can elect to install the entire project at once, or install plantings and features in phases.

Experts found through the National Association of Landscape Professionals are among those who can help create and maintain beautiful, healthy green spaces.

Getting Serious About Lung Cancer Report finds NC can do more to detect it early

While more Americans than ever are surviving lung cancer, more work is needed to fight the disease in North Carolina, according to a new report from the American Lung Association.

The 2019 “State of Lung Cancer” report examined the toll of lung cancer nationwide, and outlined steps every state can take. The report showed an increased lung cancer survival rate of 21.7 percent nationwide. That’s up from 17.2 percent a decade ago, a big improvement.

Unfortunately, the report also found that the rate of new lung cancer cases in NC to be 69 percent. That figure is significantly higher than the nationwide rate of 59 percent.

Lung cancer is the No. 1 cancer killer of women and men in the United States. One reason that lung cancer is so deadly is because most lung cancer cases are diagnosed at a later stage, after the disease has spread. Lung cancer screening is the key to early detection, when the disease is most curable. While this screening test has been available since 2015, only 21.2 percent of those eligible in North Carolina have been screened.

June Deen, Director of Advocacy at the American Lung Association, calls the screening test a powerful tool to save lives.

“Yet we’re only seeing a fraction of those who qualify actually getting screened,” she says. “We’re pushing for greater awareness of this test to save more lives here in North Carolina.”

If a patient meets the following criteria, they are considered to be at “high risk” for developing lung cancer, and screening is recommended: ■ 55–80 years of age; ■ Have a 30 “pack-year” history of

smoking (this means 1 pack a day for 30 years, or 2 packs a day for 15 years, etc.);

■ AND, are a current smoker, or have

■ Talk to your healthcare provider

if you meet the high-risk criteria for lung cancer, and encourage others who meet the criteria to do the same.

■ Make your house and car or truck

clean air zones, with no smoking allowed. Avoid places that are not smoke-free, and advocate for smoke-free air policies.

■ If you or someone you know

is ready to quit smoking, The American Lung Association can help. Its Freedom From Smoking program has assisted more than a million people to quit smoking for good. For more information, visit freedomfromsmoking.org/ about-the-program.

quit within the last 15 years.

How to lower your risk These steps can reduce your risk of lung cancer, as well as the risk of those around you.

ROANOKE ELEC TRIC

Flashes Roanoke Electric Cooperative

3,000 meters and counting...

Co-op marks milestone deploying advanced meters Since Roanoke Electric Cooperative began deploying advanced digital meters last summer to improve system reliability and efficiency, more than 3,000 meters have been installed throughout its service territory.

A

ll existing residential and commercial meters will be replaced as part of this system-wide upgrade.

The advanced technology helps the co-op acquire more accurate data, improve system monitoring and correct inefficiencies. The installations will continue over the next 12 months.

“A core value of your cooperative is being able to remain innovative,” said George Stamper, the co-op’s vice president of engineering and information services. “We value providing innovative technologies, like these advanced digital meters, to ensure better service that save our membership time and money.”

What follows are key reasons the co-op is undertaking this major deployment:

è Reduced outages: With the new meters, memberowners should expect to experience fewer blinks, surges and spikes. è Issue detection: The new digital meters will also allow the co-op to detect system issues more quickly. è Outage restoration: Instead of member-owners having to call and notify the co-op of an outage, a signal from the new meters will notify the co-op. In some cases, the co-op

will be able to initiate restoration efforts before memberowners make the call. è Precise location: The meters provide the co-op with more complete information about the source of the service disruption. Therefore, co-op crews can locate outages more precisely. During major outages, this helps ensure every location is accounted for. è Frequent updates: These meters provide updated information every 15 minutes and can help memberowners better manage their energy consumption patterns. è Efficiency: The data the co-op gathers from the new meters will make power delivery more efficient. This will not only yield savings for the co-op, but will also allow the co-op to pass those savings on to member-owners.

For additional information and FAQs, visit roanokeelectric.com/advancedmeters

Energy Efficiency Tip of the Month: Service your air conditioner. Easy maintenance such as routinely replacing or cleaning air filters can lower your cooling system’s energy consumption by up to 15 percent. Also, the first day of spring could serve as a reminder to check your air conditioner’s evaporator coil, which should be cleaned annually to ensure the system is performing at optimal levels.

A MESSAGE FOR YOU

How providing your current contact info helps provide better service

A

t Roanoke Electric Co-op, we are constantly striving to improve our operational efficiencies so we can provide the most reliable electric service possible. We rely on data for nearly every aspect of our operations, which is why we now are asking for your help.

By making sure we have your most accurate and complete contact information, you help enable us to improve customer service and enhance communications for reporting and repairing outages. It also allows co-op member-owners to receive information about beneficial programs, events and activities.

Up-to-date contact information can potentially speed up power restoration efforts during an outage. For example, the phone number you provide links your service address to our outage

management system. This means when you call to report an outage, our system recognizes your phone number and matches it with your account location.

That also allows us to pinpoint the cause of an outage, making it easier for our crews to restore power more quickly.

While we always do our best to maintain service, we occasionally plan outages to update, repair or replace equipment. In these instances, we can provide advance notification to affected member-owners through automated phone messages, text messages or email, if we have your updated contact information and communication preferences.

Keeping the co-op updated with your contact information also helps us when there’s a question about energy use or billing. Emails and text messages are also used to notify registered

member-owners of any changes in co-op event details. In addition, discrepancies on your account can be taken care of promptly, if we have accurate account information.

Many of you have been memberowners of the co-op for years, and it’s likely that your account information hasn’t been updated for some time.

We recognize that many of you now use a cellphone as your primary phone service, and we might not have that number in our system.

I want to emphasize that in providing your contact information to the co-op, we will never share this information with third parties. We will use the information you provide to serve you better.

To confirm or update your contact information, please call one of the co-op’s member services representatives at 252-209-2236.

Reminder:

Co-op’s Golf Classic set for April Golfers are invited to participate in Roanoke Electric Co-op’s third Annual Golf Classic at Scotch Hall Preserve on April 17, 2020.

Proceeds from this fundraising event will support local community and economic development programs offered through The Roanoke Center, the co-op’s nonprofit subsidiary.

To participate or become a sponsor for this event, contact Jessica Jenkins, administrative assistant, at 252-209-2245 or by email at jjenkins@roanokeelectric.com.

Sneaky Nutrition

Healthy, delicious dried fruits jazz up meals Looking for easy ways to add zing to recipes? Consider adding dried fruits to your meals and snacks, as they’re not only full of flavor, but packed with nutrition, too.

P

icked fresh at the peak of ripeness, fruits are then dried to preserve their nutrients. You can enjoy seasonal fruit all year long, versus only when in season. Because dried fruit needs no refrigeration, it’s also a great snack for packing in school lunches, gym bags or keeping at your office desk.

A serving of dried fruit counts as one serving of fruit toward daily nutrition goals. Dried fruits also contain no added sugar — they just provide natural sweetness. Here are three dried fruits to try.

meal. Chopped dried apricots can also enhance baked goods like muffins and oatmeal cookies.

Apricots Plump, sweet and delicious, one serving of dried apricots is only 100 calories. Apricots are a good source of vitamin A and potassium.

Mediterranean and Indian dishes are great uses for dried apricots. Try chopping them up for a rice pilaf, or to balance spice and heat in an Indian

Dates One serving of dates is a good source of dietary fiber. Dates have a rich sweetness that makes them a valuable asset to desserts like bars and cookies.

Dates also pair well with nuts, pork and squash, as in the recipe here.

Prunes Prunes are a great addition to many baked goods, like cakes, cookies and bars, and complement pork dishes as well. Compared to other dried fruits, prunes are lower in naturally occurring sugar and have a low glycemic index of 29. Prunes are an all-natural source of fiber, with 3 grams of fiber per serving. Their richness adds a lot of texture.

For more ways to use dried fruit, visit sunsweet.com/#recipes.

2 small acorn squash 2½ teaspoons coconut oil Salt and pepper, to taste 1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed 1 sprig fresh rosemary 1 cup water ½ cup dry quinoa 6 pitted dates (or more to taste) 3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Cut acorn squashes in half and scoop out seeds. Brush coconut oil over inside of squash halves. Roast in oven on baking sheet, cut side down, 30 minutes. Turn cut side up and season with salt and pepper; roast 20 minutes more.

Place garbanzo beans in rimmed baking dish and toss with 2 teaspoons coconut oil and a pinch of salt. Roast 15 minutes, then stir lightly and add rosemary; roast 5 to 10 minutes more.

Place water and quinoa in small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, 15 minutes. Remove from heat with lid still on and let stand 10 minutes, then fluff with fork.

Going Electric on Larger Acreage Benefits of battery-powered lawn equipment

By Jonathan Susser

Q:

I’ve seen a lot of electric lawn mowers on the market, but most seem better suited for smaller lawns. Are there battery-powered options available if I have more acreage to maintain?

A:

26 | carolinacountry.com

CC03-wk.indd 26

Mean Green Products Inc.

With maintaining large lots of land, the most pressing concern is likely having equipment that lasts long enough and has sufficient power to get the job done.

While battery-powered lawn mowers keep arriving and growing in popularity, the majority have been of the walk-behind or robotic variety for smaller acreage.

Battery-powered riding mowers, however, have been around for a few years, and they continue to improve and grow in number. Today, you can find examples that compete with gasoline versions for a variety of uses, with rear engine riding mowers, lawn tractors and zero turn mowers all going electric.

Current residential models can last upwards of 2.5 hours and cover over three acres on a single battery charge.

Charging is easy and uses a standard 120-volt outlet, though it can take several hours. The amount of time needed will ultimately be determined by a number of factors, including the size of the battery, the level of charge of the battery when it’s first plugged in and the ambient temperature.

Depending on the type of battery used by the equipment, manufacturers may recommend that you leave the mower plugged in at all times when it’s not in operation, so be sure to consult the user manual.

Commercial-grade battery-powered riding mowers are also available.

These come in even larger sizes and can run for over seven hours and cover dozens of acres.

The benefits you’ll see with battery-powered riding mowers are mostly the same as you would

experience with battery-powered versions of other lawn equipment: Maintenance: No starting difficulties and no belts, spark plugs or filters means less time maintaining your machine and more time getting work done.

■ Easy

Performance: Batterypowered riding mowers produce significantly less noise and vibration than their gas-powered counterparts.

■ Quiet

Operating Costs: The upfront cost of battery-powered residential riding mowers is in the range of $1,000–$1,500 higher than similar gasoline versions. But with reduced maintenance and fuel costs, they are cheaper to operate.

■ Lower

■ Cleanliness: Battery-powered

riding mowers produce no exhaust or emissions, and there’s zero gasoline to deal with, so they’re cleaner for you and the environment.

As with any larger purchase, it is helpful to do your research. Read reviews, check out frequently asked

questions, compare warranties and watch videos to learn more about the different offerings.

Also, consider your situation. For example, how much ground you need to cover will likely influence what size battery you’ll be looking for. The information to home in on is watt hours, which can be thought of as the “gas tank” of battery-powered equipment. If it’s not listed, the watt hour (Wh) rating of a battery can be obtained by multiplying its voltage and amp hours (Ah); the more watt hours, the longer the runtime.

If you’re in the market for additional equipment to complement your mower, be on the lookout for battery-powered models of trimmers, leaf blowers, chainsaws and more. To save money and space, the batteries of these smaller tools can often be used across products if you buy from the same manufacturer, so keep that in mind as you’re shopping around.

It’s a Girl!

For the young (and young at heart)

NC Zoo welcomes a baby rhino

North Carolina Zoo

In January, the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro, served by Randolph EMC, welcomed a baby girl — a southern white rhinoceros weighing in at 100 pounds. Zookeepers expect her to gain 100 pounds a month in the first year. She could weigh 3,500 to 5,500 pounds when fully grown!

Southern white rhinos were hunted to near extinction by the beginning of the 20th century for their horns, which some mistakenly believe provide medicinal benefits, according to the NC Zoo. Rhino horn is made of keratin, which is the same material that makes up human fingernails and hair. Today, populations in the wild still face significant threats from poaching and habitat loss.

Ha ve a lau gh!

The Zoo’s herd now consists of nine rhinos, including the new female calf (visit nczoo.org for updates on her name), her mom, Kit, and her dad, Stormy.

Q: What do you call a rhinoceros on a school bus?

A: Stuck!

DO YOU KNOW…

That NASA’s newest deep-space telescope is named for an NC native?

NASA NASA

Next year, NASA will replace the Hubble Space Telescope with a new space telescope named after former Granville Country resident and early NASA visionary James E. Webb. Under Webb’s leadership as administrator of NASA, the organization reached new heights in space exploration (see “Wake Electric Honors Local NASA Leader,” page 8).

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (also called JWST or Webb) is planned to be launched from French Guinea in spring of 2021. Once in orbit, Webb will be the most powerful and largest space telescope ever built (with a sunshield the size of a tennis court). Its infrared vision will peer back more than 13.5 billion years to see the first stars and galaxies that formed after the Big Bang. It is only fitting that the telescope is named after NASA pioneer and Tally Ho native James Webb.

Visit jwst.nasa.gov for updates and to learn more.

Showy Garden Spiders Spider daylilies are both tough and pretty Story and photos by L.A. Jackson

I like spiders, but I really don’t have a thing for every Orb Weaver, Wolf, Green Lynx, Jumping or Trapdoor spider that crawls into my yard. I’m fine with the fact that they, as well as their other eight-legged kin, patrol the garden for insects — many of which are plant-chewing pests — just as long as none of these arachnids dare to think I’m the biggest bug of them all. Instead, the alt-spiders I am more partial to have weird names and no legs.

Getting curious?

“Tennessee Flycatcher,” “Jan’s Twister,” “Boney Maroney,” “Radiation Biohazard,” “Lavender Arrowhead,” “Skinwalker,” “Laughing Skies,” “Octopus Hugs” — these are just some of the many odd appellations caught in the web of showoff plants known as spider daylilies. What makes them different from other daylilies? Their flower petals.

According to the American Hemerocallis Society, a spider cultivar is defined as any daylily with blooms that have petals four times or more the length of their width. In other words, besides being pretty, they are long and skinny.

For me, thin is in because I do enjoy the way the finger-like petals

curl inwards and, with the slightest breeze, flex, seemingly for the purpose of drawing curious passersby closer to enjoy their unusual beauty.

Fortunately for gardeners bitten by the looks of spider daylilies, “unusual” isn’t the same as “rare,” because hundreds of cultivars are available.

Like typical daylilies, spiders are tough perennials. They will survive in many conditions, but in order for them to thrive, find a planting site with well-worked, rich garden soil that receives at least six hours of energizing sunlight a day.

While they are becoming established, spider daylilies should be watered regularly with long, thorough soakings. Also, for their first year in the garden, the addition of a balanced, time-release fertilizer at planting time will help them become dependable beauties faster. In following years, a generous application of compost each spring will usually satisfy their annual nutritional needs.

Garden centers in your area that sell daylilies will probably have some spiders, but for larger selections, since now is a good time to order and plant, do an online search for “Carolina daylily nursery,” and you will find a ton of regional sellers. All

Boney Maroney

Lavender Arrowhead

will likely offer spider daylilies for sale online, but also check to see if any of these e-nurseries might be near enough to visit in order to see their pretty spiders yourself up close and pleasantly personal when they begin to bloom in late spring.

L.A. Jackson is the former editor of Carolina Gardener Magazine. Contact L.A. at lajackson1@gmail.com.

Garden To-Do’s for March Showy ornamental woodies such as vitex, pomegranate, rose of Sharon, abelia, sweet pepperbush, buddleia and crepe myrtle that flaunt their blossoms in the summertime will put on better bloom displays if they are pruned early this month before new growth begins. This will stimulate increased branching, which, of course, can lead to stronger flower power. Ditto for berry-producing pretties such as holly, nandina and beautyberry.

F

Rose of Sharon

While adding young annuals this spring, provide protection against cutworms.

Knock the bottoms out of paper cups and put one around each new plant, sinking it at least an inch into the soil, to stop these soil-dwelling moth larvae from chewing tender stalks and branches down to nubs.

F

Aphids can also cause problems on new plant growth in the spring. These pinheadsized pests typically gang up to suck the sap from the underside of young leaves, causing them to curl, yellow and wilt. A blast of water or spritz of insecticidal soap will put a stop to their feeding-fest.

Votes for Women in the Old North State A traveling exhibit commemorates the women’s suffrage movement

W

omen in North Carolina have long been politically active. The first occurrence on record dates back to 1774, when a group of 51 women gathered at the home of Penelope Barker for the Edenton Tea Party, sending a scathing letter to King George III of England announcing a boycott of East Indian tea as long as it is taxed by the British.

For almost 150 years following that historic tea boycott, women sought representation, here in North Carolina and across the United States. According to an NC history timeline, those acts of courage, persistence, resistance, and some say defiance, finally came to fruition with the meeting of the Equal Suffrage League of North Carolina in 1914. But it took five more years for the Women’s Suffrage Amendment to make its way through Congress in 1919, then out to the states for ratification. On August 26, 1920, the Women’s Right to Vote officially became the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Today, more than 66 million women cast votes in elections across the country, including almost 3.6 million in North Carolina alone.

To celebrate and educate the 100th anniversary of this momentous occasion, the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (ncdcr.gov) and State Archives of North Carolina (archives.ncdcr.gov) created a 15-month-long traveling exhibit featuring 10 archival documents and other items related to women’s suffrage.

Artifacts include both pro- and anti-suffrage propaganda, political cartoons, a suffragist’s sash and the original copy of the 19th Amendment sent to North Carolina for ratification.

The traveling exhibit, which will run through Spring 2021, is part of a larger She Changed the World education initiative throughout the state. Exhibit stops have been planned through December 2020. Visit ncdcr.gov/ shechangedtheworld for an updated schedule.

Sarah E. Koonts, director of the NC Division of Archives and Records, talks to schoolchildren about the exhibit.

Clogged, Backed—up Septic System…Can anything Restore It? Dear Darryl DEAR DARRYL: My home is about 10 years old, and so is my septic system.

I have always taken pride in keeping my home and property in top shape. In fact, my neighbors and I are always kidding each other about who keeps their home and yard nicest. Lately, however, I have had a horrible smell in my yard, and also in one of my bathrooms, coming from the shower drain. My grass is muddy and all the drains in my home are very slow.

My wife is on my back to make the bathroom stop smelling and as you can imagine, my neighbors are having a field day, kidding me about the mud pit and sewage stench in my yard. It’s humiliating. I called a plumber buddy of mine, who recommended pumping (and maybe even replacing) my septic system. But at the potential cost of thousands of dollars, I hate to explore that option.

I tried the store bought, so called, Septic treatments out there, and they did Nothing to clear up my problem. Is there anything on the market I can pour or flush into my system that will restore it to normal, and keep it maintained?

Clogged and Smelly – Greensboro , NC

Tangerine-Apple Salad With pomegranate vinegar dressing

Where good salads go bad is in the dressing, because bottled dressings often contain a lot of fat, sugar, salt and preservatives. Dressing is easy to make, which lets you control the seasonings. Pomegranate vinegar has a fruity flavor and is available in larger supermarkets. Increase the honey if you prefer a sweeter dressing.

R

W

T t S a

Dressing 2 tablespoons pomegranate vinegar 4 tablespoons grapeseed or vegetable oil 1 tablespoon honey ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste 1 teaspoon grated orange zest (about ½ of a large orange) 2 teaspoons orange juice 1 garlic clove, crushed Salad 4–5 cups salad greens (arugula, spinach, leaf lettuce or a combination) ¼ of a large red onion, thinly sliced 1 medium tangerine, peeled and divided into sections 1 small apple, unpeeled, chopped ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese For the dressing, whisk the vinegar, oil, honey, salt, pepper, orange zest and orange juice in a medium bowl until well combined. Stir in the garlic clove. Set aside.

Put the salad greens and red onion in a large bowl. Add a small amount of dressing, just enough to moisten the salad (you will not need all of the dressing). Toss to coat. Top with tangerine sections, apple and feta. Serve immediately. Pass the remaining dressing at the table for guests to add, if desired.

Notes: Dressing can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to four days. Bring to room temperature before using. Add cooked shrimp or chicken for a heartier salad.

Yield: 4 servings

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, chili-garlic sauce, lime juice, tomato paste and pinch of salt until combined.

Cover the bottom of a baking pan with a little olive oil. Place the salmon filets in the pan, skin side down, and sprinkle lightly with salt.

Spread the honey mixture over the filets.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets and how done you like your salmon. Top with peanuts and serve.

Roasted Carrots

Irish Soda Bread

With tahini-mustard sauce

Tahini, a sesame paste, is popular in Middle Eastern cooking. Find it in the supermarket in the international section, or with the peanut butter.

Stone-ground mustard contains whole mustard seeds, and adds texture and flavor. Make the sauce a few hours ahead and refrigerate it.

8–10 carrots, cut into approximately 2-inch chunks 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon cumin ½ teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

2 1 1 2

tablespoons tahini teaspoon honey tablespoon lemon juice teaspoons stone-ground mustard Chopped fresh chives, for garnish (optional)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the carrots in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, cinnamon and salt. Spread the carrots onto a baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes, or until a sharp knife slides in easily.

In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, honey, lemon juice and mustard.

Spread the tahini sauce onto a serving platter or individual plates. Place the carrots on top, and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.

Yield: 4 servings

Though most commonly attributed to Ireland, American Indians were the first people to use pearl-ash (baking soda’s predecessor) to leaven their bread. The Irish version appeared in the late 1830s, when baking soda first appeared in the United Kingdom. Ireland’s financial strife at the time also led to its creation, as it used so few ingredients. A cross marked on the top of the bread was thought to ward off evil and protect the household. This untraditional version (above) is known as “Spotted Dog” thanks to the raisins.

4 1 1 1

cups flour cup sugar teaspoon salt heaping teaspoon baking powder 1 heaping teaspoon baking soda

1 cup cold butter, cut into pieces 1 tablespoon caraway seeds 1½ cups raisins 1¹/₃ cups buttermilk 1 beaten egg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in the butter (using a pastry cutter or two forks) until it resembles coarse meal or crumbs. Stir in the caraway seeds and raisins.

Mix the buttermilk and egg in a separate bowl. Stir them into the dry ingredients until just moistened. Don’t over stir, but try to get the dough to come together.

Turn everything onto a well-floured surface and knead lightly until smooth (about 2 minutes). Use well-floured hands as the dough will be sticky. Shape into a ball and place on a greased, flat cookie sheet. Pat down to form a 7-inch round loaf. Cut a 4-inch “X” into the top, about ½ inch deep.

Brush the top with some buttermilk. Bake about 45–50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Cool at least 10 minutes and serve warm with butter.

Store tightly wrapped for 3–4 days or freeze for 2–3 months.

MUSIC March’S FEATURED TRACK

“Rusty Rails”

By Carolina Blue

This tune about the desire to escape the past was inspired by abandoned railroad tracks in Tim Jones’s and Bobby Powell’s hometown of Brevard. It’s one of 13 tracks on Carolina Blue’s 2019 album, “I Hear Bluegrass Calling.”

Other notable songs include “Dark Mountainside,” “Glory Bound Train,” and “Fried Taters and Onions.”

There’s been a lot of welcome industry buzz about the album (many years in the making), and in early February it won four awards at the National Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America Awards held in Nashville, including Album of the Year and Entertainers of the Year.
