Northern Nevada gardens: Let's talk about 'naked lady' flowers, a relative of daffodils - Carson Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I just returned from a trip to Crescent City, Calif. At the beach, I was delighted to see some of my favorite flowers, “naked ladies,” blooming everywhere. When I graduated from college, I lived in a tiny house in Torrance, Calif. Surrounding the house and all along its fence were plants I found unusual, but lovely. These plants had lovely pink flowers shaped like Easter lilies, with burgundy stems, but no leaves. Since I had just finished studying all kinds of plants at Poly, I was surprised I
Northern Nevada backyards and gardens: Getting plants and birds ready for season changes - Carson Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Although there are occasional hot days still happening, it appears that the temperatures are starting to decline into the high 70s and low 80s over the next 10 days or so. I took advantage of a couple of high 60s days to turn off the irrigation system temporarily. I put the schedule on manual and watered every other day until the temperatures went back up to the high 80s. I want the trees to start hardening off a bit before we have a sudden drop in temperature. As the amount of water is reduced,
Northern Nevada backyards and gardens: Battle with the green monster - Carson Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One day I was startled by a bright green monster, three inches long, chewing away at crocosmia leaves. I had seen a few small brown grasshoppers for the last month or so, but never yet a large green one. It had eaten big chunks out of many leaves. I had forgotten how much damage one grasshopper can do, especially one that big. Fortunately, being the end of the season, I’m not worried about losing plants to grasshopper appetites. Early in the season I would have been more concerned about actively
Northern Nevada backyards: Living with fire means preparation before evacuation - Carson Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
All the fires around here and in other states have me on alert. I have a “to go” box ready. The cat carriers are handy. The RV and car are fueled up and ready to go. We have been evacuated at least twice and once we couldn’t get home due to road closures. On top of that, I worked with Ed Smith, the founder of the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension Living with Fire program for over 22 years as he and the fire community partners educated people on what to do to make their homes more firesa
Northern Nevada backyards and gardens: Battling pests - Carson Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The other day I was stung by an angry yellowjacket. Then it and its buddies started chasing me as I ran to get into the house without further damage. After seeing groups of yellowjackets on the hummingbird feeder and in the bird baths, I emptied them in hopes of discouraging the wasps. I saw numbers of wasps on plants around the yard and realized populations had soared. I reinstated my campaign against these nasty buggers. I went out and bought four cylinder-type reusable traps. In the spring, w
