We can finally start planting outside, adding tender vegetables and annuals to the landscape. the smell of lilacs wafting through the air and endless perennials unfold their foliage and fill in vacant garden spots. It’s a magical

time of year for those of us in Zone 5b!

MAY GARDEN PLANNING IN ZONE 5B: When you are a gardener, planning and making adjustments is an ongoing process. Your journal can be your best friend when it comes to creating and maintaining your gardens.

Here are some things to make a note of as May rolls in: •Check with your local extension office for a soil test if you haven’t done so already. Ask them any questions and consult with the experts to determine

Let Us Help You Find the Perfect Gift for Your Mom!

ideal planting times for your county.

•Horrocks Garden Center is brimming with plants, containers and everything garden-related. Do you have anything on your May garden wish list? Keep a garden shopping list in your garden journal and jot down any supplies that you still need at the garden center.

•Walk around and assess what pests are presenting themselves in your yard right now and note any traps or companion planting options that can help you combat them.

•Ensure that your garden has the

616 527-0990

470 South Steele Street | Ionia, Michigan 616-527-1111 | ioniafloral@gmail.com

flowering plants it needs to lure beneficial pollinators and predatory insects to the garden.

Use your sketched-out garden design plans and dream boards to figure out where your newly acquired plants and seedlings will go.

•If you constructed new raised garden beds over the winter and haven’t set them out yet, now is the time! Fill them with raised bed soil or compost and lots of organic matter.

•Calculate the amount of soil that you will need to fill up your garden beds. Are your raised beds very deep? Consider layering soil in your raised beds by adding tree logs and setting them in the bottom of the trough. Layer compost and raised bed soil on top. The organic matter will break down over time and save you money by taking up square footage, so you can use more raised bed soil and compost elsewhere.

•Decide what you still need to fill gaps in your garden. This is best to do before you head to Horrocks Garden Center, so you know what you are looking for.

Take pictures of the problem areas and bring them in to us at Horrocks.... We will help you!

HOW TO PREPARE & MAINTAIN THE GARDEN By the time May rolls around, it is best to have garden beds prepped and ready to go so that you can plan what plants you want to fill the space. Here are some housekeeping items on the May Garden Checklist for Zone 5b that will get your gardens in tip-top shape and boost your spring gardens.

•Remove cold winter protection from outdoor cool-season crops.

•Identify pests in the garden. Proactively set out sticky traps to catch common

insect pests like whiteflies, aphids, leaf miners and thrips.

•Pull up early weeds before they establish themselves or use organic weed control methods to eliminate them.

•If you plan to use a drip irrigation system, ensure that hoses are installed and functioning properly.

•Divide and transplant perennials that have overtaken their space in the garden beds. It’s a great way to create new garden beds.

•Assess if your spring bulbs will need dividing. Digging up and dividing bulbs should only be done after the foliage has withered and browned.

•Plant your summer flowering bulbs and bare root plantings.

•Once the soil warms and tender veggies have been hardened off, cage your tomatoes, peppers and eggplants as you plant them in the ground or raised bed.

•It’s time to assemble your artistic annual planters! Wash out your planters and containers and fill them with premium potting soil from Horrocks Garden Center before planting.

•Spread and organic fertilizer around shrubs and perennials. Be sure to use an organic fertilizer to treat the soil and microbial life rather than just the plants. Horrocks Garden Center has organic fertilizers for every type of plant, shrub or tree.

•Add compost around fruit trees.

MULCHING AND AMENDING THE GARDEN Mulching and amending can be the difference between a prolific garden and a mediocre one. Just as mulch insulated your garden beds over the winter and early spring, it will keep your plant roots cool as the temperatures begin to heat up. Adding a couple of inches of mulch

to your garden beds can also help stomp out reseeding weeds and regulate moisture. It also will help keep your soil from eroding during bouts of heavy rain.

•Once your soil test results are in, add compost and any other necessary soil amendments to help build healthier soil.

•Support microbial life by using organic fertilizers and mulches like fish or seaweed fertilizer and organic matter. Horrocks Garden Center has a great selection of certified organic composts including lobster and mushroom compost.

OUTDOOR SPRING GARDEN PLANTING May is planting time for us in Mid-Michigan, zone 5b. Plant your bare root plants in the ground if you haven’t done so already. Once you have amended your garden soil and pulled all weeds, you can start sowing some seeds outdoors.

Sow vegetable such as: Beets, Peas, Beans, Corn, Lettuce, Kale, Spinach, Swiss Chard, Potatoes, Squash, Melons.

Additionally, toward the middle to end of May, you can begin to harden off tender vegetables like peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant and more. Place them outdoors gradually in a protected location for at least one week before transplanting them outdoors. Always pay close attention to the forecast, as spring weather can be unpredictable at best, even in May. Be prepared with row covers or protective plant domes if erratic weather is predicted and protect your garden crops.

Stop in and see the girls at Horrocks Garden Center..... We are here to help you!

Bring your pills for disposal to one of the locations listed below. Please note that sites cannot accept liquids, needles,

or sharps. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Grand River Ave, Portland, MI 48875 This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly sus-

ceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the United States are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.

To keep everyone safe, collection sites will follow applicable COVID-19 guidelines and regulations.

Sparrow Ionia Hospital recognizes volunteers for their decades of service IONIA, MI – During this Volunteer Week, Sparrow Ionia Hospital recognizes the many volunteers who continue to serve as an important part to the organization and have an incredible history of providing care to Ionia-area residents.

Sparrow Ionia Hospital currently has 47 volunteers that assist in transporting patients arriving or leaving the hospital and working in the gift shop, welcome center, and surgery lounge. Many of the current volunteers have been with the hospital since it was known as Ionia County Memorial Hospital (ICMH) from 1943-2010.

The ICMH Auxiliary was formed in 1955, shortly after the hospital moved to the Lafayette Street location. In the early 1970s, there were 13 different Guilds under the ICMH Auxiliary that raised money for the hospital – Cart N’ Lobby, Ex Libris, Geranium,

Volunteers and advocates have supported and raised funds at Sparrow Ionia for over 65 years.

Hale, Lake Odessa, Lucy Cull, Marsh, McCann, Medical, St. Barnabas, Service, Silver, and Yellow Rose.

Elaine Caswell has been a member of the Ex Libris Guild since 1977. She recalls that the group “held jewelry sales, uniform sales, and decorated Pediatrics with colorful paintings on the walls to make it a fun place for the kids.”

The Auxiliary has been vital

in raising contributions for the hospital and its needs. Among others, the Auxiliary organized fundraising projects consisting of charity balls, bake sales, fairy gardens, euchre tournaments, and the hospital gift shop.

The volunteers helped fund several renovations at ICMH and Sparrow Ionia Hospital, including the Guild Room, Father’s Waiting Room, Dining Room, Day Room, and Lobby.

The Guild was a necessity in funding departments’ “wish list” extras, such as surgical equipment. In addition, the Guild would fund scholarships for nurses.

Sandy Olson has been a volunteer since 1999. She volunteers because she says, “It is important to help people and make a difference in this world.” She enjoys helping and interacting with the patients, families, and the hardworking caregivers. “A personal highlight was when I reached 20 years of volunteering at the hospital and received my 20year pin. I am now in my 24th year and hope to make it to at least 25 years!”

In 2016, only four Guilds remained – Cart N’ Lobby, Ex Libris, Lafayette, and Yellow Rose. The four Guilds worked together and pledged $50,000 over five years to help in the construction of the new hospital and chose the chapel as their special dedication project.

Peg Christopher Fell was a volunteer for 30 years, up until her early 90s. She held various offices and committee chairs,
