Fit for the Pacific Northwest
How to adapt your gardening to suit the climate
mines whether your garden will burst forth with color and vibrancy in the spring.
By BOB SMITH BSMITH@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
It doesn’t take much in the early spring to get a weekend plant lover in the Puget Sound area back into their backyard gardens daydreaming about growing sunflowers the size of straw hats. After a damp, gloomy winter punctuated by a spate of snow and cold temperatures, the plant nurturer in all of us begins to take root at the slightest hint of sunrays peeking through cloud banks. This area’s damp, maritime weather, however, does a number

dening gloves. Infrequent sunshine in the spring, combined with the proverbial “intermittent showers” uttered by television weather people, though, is a definite downer for many erstwhile plant lovers. But if you’re bound and determined to sink your garden tools into the Puget Sound soil asap, be prepared to know what plants and vegetables can thrive here — and which ones will wither and die, despite your best efforts in the wrong part of the season. It all has to do with how much sun — or lack thereof — and rainfall we typically receive in the area that deter-

In this area, vegetables usually do well year-round, according to Seattle Tilth’s Maritime Northwest Garden Guide. The publication said there’s a little gardening secret worthwhile to remember: late summer through early autumn is the perfect time for many kinds of garden projects. And the planting season, the guide says, is almost year-round, which so-called coolseason vegetables are put in the ground in the fall for either autumn or early spring harvesting. Planting starts — better known as baby plants — will allow gardeners to harvest substantially earlier. The starts are preferable, in fact, for many vegetables (baby carrots, lettuce, parsley, spinach, radishes and peas begin the expectations since they can be easily grown from seeds or starts). If sowings aren’t able to germinate in late July or early August because of hot weather and inconsistent watering, the publication says that gardeners are urged to try growing them again in late August and September so they can germinate more easily. The Puget Sound weather conditions require you to water your plants regularly beginning in the summer and early fall. That’s when a mix of warmer soil, mild temperatures and rain combines to create perfect conditions going into the winter season.

their peak at the height of summer — think of tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and peppers that can overflow your kitchen table with production. Cool-season veggies, however, are drawn to mild weather and are amenable to being planted in springtime and then in late summer or early fall. They grow quickly, the guide instructed. Here’s another tip: Lettuce, most greens, radishes and peas should be harvested before the first seasonal frost or covered for protection. While it’s too late now, these cool-weather vegetables can be harvested this fall and be harvested before the end of the year. Remember these plants when fall rolls around: lettuce, kale, peas, spinach, Swiss chard, beets, baby carrots and Asian greens. If you’re into herbs and spices, plants like oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme will continue to grow throughout the fall. Some even will carry the torch for homegrown veggies through the winter, including oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme. Master gardeners advise that your garden soil be amended with E.B. Stone Planting Compost or Gardner & Bloome Harvest Supreme. Now is a good time to mulch your soil with several inches.

area include ajuga (Ajuga reptans), a fast-growing plant that thrives in partial shade and blooms blue flowers in the spring. There are lots of juniper plant varieties (Juniperus) that use less water but like lots of sun. Sweet Box Sarcocca (Sarcocca hookeriana humulis) also uses less water and does well in partial shade. It blooms tiny fragrant white flowers in shady locations under trees.

GROUND COVER If you want to keep your garden just halfway planted in the winter, consider growing a cover crop such as crimson clover, vetch, winter peas or favas in the early fall. It’s an interesting note: legumes are nitrogen fixers and will improve your soil. So, developers say, bring from the garage some ground cover that can be used to add essential nutrients to the soil.

With springtime sun comes a warming real estate market

Puget Sound region, in counties that surround Seattle, according to the NMLS. In King County, prices dropped slightly month-over-month in January, to $610,000, but prices in Kitsap County surged “nearly 14.7 percent when compared to a year ago.”

The Kitsap County housing market is hot and getting hotter, real estate agents and experts say.

In January, the median home price for a single family home in Kitsap County rose to about $340,000, that’s up more than 14 percent from the same time last year, according to the Northwest Multiple Listing Service.
“Homes between $250,000$350,000 are in a frenzy right now,” said Jorge Downie, a Kingston broker with John L. Scott Real Estate. Homes between $350,000-$500,000, he said, are at “surge” levels. “Houses have been put up for sale, and within a week we already have an offer,” Downie said. This winter has seen rising median home prices across the
“Median prices on closed sales continue to remain stable in January with continued strong upward growth in outlying counties,” said James Young, director of the Washington Center for Real Estate Research at the University of Washington, in a press release. “Pierce, Kitsap, and Thurston counties outpaced King and Snohomish counties in price growth, consistent with the past few months.” “This trend indicates that many first-time buyers and middleincome families are continuing to look to the outer regions of the area for value,” he said. In Kitsap, inventory levels are low in the face of demand for single family homes. According to the NMLS, only about 1.7 months of supply are available in the county. Downie said homebuyers are particularly interested in access to the new Kingston fast ferry, which began service in November. The new public transit ferries walk-on commuters to downtown Seattle in just 39 minutes. “What I’ve noticed is that people are interested in the fast ferry,”

Downie said. “Commuting times are a lot shorter” than they are with the WSDOT car ferry to Kingston. While the market is ideal for sellers, some experts warn of the burdens it places on potential firsttime homebuyers. “The picture for first-time buyer affordability in the longer term for the region is not bright,” said Young. “Unless changes in the housing supply framework throughout the area are addressed soon.” Mike Larson of ALLEN Realtors in Lakewood echoed Young’s thoughts.
“The middle rungs on the housing ladder are slowly disappearing,” he said in a press release. That said, Downie and other local brokers are hopeful that the spring weather will move homeowners to list the properties they’ve been wanting to sell during the winter months. “There’s a few people I’ve talked to that are getting ready to sell,” Downie said. “That’s the market spring comes in, the flowers come out, and it’s a good time to start selling.” “Which is good because there’s a lot of people who want to find a home,” he said.

at home in the Pacific Northwest. Here are five appropriate herbs and veggies to grow during this time of year that also have the added benefit of providing a tasty, healthy addition to your meals: BROCCOLI - Broccoli is a very easy vegetable to grow and it is perfect for the Spring season. The fact that it doesn’t need much heat makes it well suited for the Washington climate. Plenty of water is needed for growing broccoli and it’s a heavy feeder. After the first head is harvested, most will produce side shoots if well fed. Frequent pests
of Broccoli include aphids, cabbage worms and root maggots. Meals you can incorporate with your freshgrown broccoli include stir fry and salads. You can also grill or sauté the broccoli and serve with other fresh grown veggies like tomatoes, onions and potatoes. CABBAGE - Like broccoli, cabbage is better suited for cooler temperatures due to the fact that warmer temperatures will cause the heads to split. Keep cabbage wellwatered because the leaves need plenty of nitrogen. Watch out for slug infestation, those pests seem

to love cabbage. With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner no meal is better suited for the occasion than corned beef and cabbage. A variety of coleslaws can also be made, which can pair well with pulled-pork sandwiches. Cabbage can also be easily included in wide variety of soup recipes as well.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS - Hopefully not too many of you are cringing as you read this. While popular
opinion of brussels sprouts tends to err toward the negative, if grown right and incorporated into an appropriate meal the muchmaligned veggies make for a delicious side. You will want to plant your sprouts early, given the fact that many gardeners believe their sprouts taste better after being exposed to a light frost. The sprouts will then be ready to SEE VEGGIES, 12

harvest in early Fall. If they feel tight and dense when you squeeze them, you can pull or cut them off the stem. If temperatures are going to drop below below 20 degrees, make sure to harvest all the sprouts and bring them inside or else they will rot after a few freezes. Sprouts can be stored for several weeks in a container or plastic bag in the refrigerator. Roasting or sautéing them will render a tasty compliment to red meats and veggies. PARSLEY - I know this is an herb, not a vegetable, but parsley is perfect for growing in a container and can be a flavorful addition to many garden meals as well as adding to the presentation of a dish. Parsley is a low-maintenance herb that is easy to grow and

Spring Wines
By TYLER SHUEY TSHUEY@SOUNDPUBLISHING.COM
Spring time is around the corner and many locals are looking for good seasonal wines to pair with the return of the sun and its associated influx of Vitamin-D. Here are a few wine tips from Ron Tweiten of Harbor Square Wine Shop in Bainbridge Island. For the Springtime, rosés and whites are the most appropriate kinds of wine, Tweiten says. “Spring starts to bring in the new Rosés for the season. There are also local Washington wines that do Spring release from the harvest of last Fall, which will be the first time those ones will be on the market.”
Tweiten also noted a few good meats to pair with springtime wines. “Anything on the grill works well with wine like chicken, sausages or seafood. If you want to incorporate wine in your cooking, I’d suggest using it in a crockpot, stew or sauce. The alcohol burns off so you are just left with the wine flavor, which can be fruity or
nutty. You don’t want to cook with bad wine.” Harbor Square Wine Shop is going on its 12th year of business and is located at 756 Winslow Way East on Bainbridge Island. You can contact them at 206-7801626.

Tips from an expert for a beautiful garden this spring
MARCH 8, 2019
with Olmsted’s Nursery in Poulsbo, recommends adding some quick color and life to your garden for some “instant spring.” “Grab some primroses, pansies and little bulbs ready to bloom and plant or set them down in your existing planters,” Britt said. “You’ll feel instantly better.” Once they are past their prime, you can lift them out and plant them among your landscape or cut a flowering branch and bring it inside to bloom in your home. Some other plant good for early season color include creeping phloxes and arabises, though Britt’s personal pick is the Dwarf Mahonia, a low-water, lowmaintenance plant that adds texture and fragrance to the garden. “And hummingbirds love it,” Britt added.

Despite predictions from a certain groundhog, the winter cold has stuck with us through the end of February, but spring is still just around the corner. Despite no warming trend in the immediate forecast, this should be a time for home gardeners to start thinking about
Generally speaking, planting season begins about six to eight weeks before the final spring frost of the season, but it could be a little trickier this year with relatively cold northerly winds still blowing through the Puget Sound Region. Planting can break those winter doldrums. Linda Britt, plant specialist Voted One of the Best in North Kitsap 2008-2018
