Native Plants: If You Plant Them, They Will Grow - Foothills Sun Gazette

A few plants could cover what at one point might have been a lawn. We think that the plantings around the Tulare County Office of Education on South Mooney are a coyote bush variety. Again, these take no summer water, and are loved by native bees, flies, and beneficial insects. Even the most low-laying white yarrow (Achillea millefloium) can serve as a great groundcover, and mowed back yearly, will easily spread. There are far more successful natives than we can cover in one article, but this is the time of year to ask about them at your local nursery. If you look online, you can also find regional that specialize in native plants, such as Intermountain Nursery or Las Pilitas Nursery; or local organizations like the Alta Peak chapter of the California Native Plant Society which have fall sales in Three Rivers, altapeakcnps.org/news, and the Sequoia Riverlands Trust, sequoiariverlands.org, on Dry Creek above Woodlake. The UCCE Master Gardeners will be available to answer your gardening questions each Saturday at the Visalia Farmer’s Market in the Sears parking lot from 8 to 11 a.m. They will also be at the Eagle Mountain Casino Health Fair on Oct. 3. ...

Mosquito discoveries put bite on fresh flowers at Visalia Cemetery - Visalia Times-Delta

Delta Vector is the testing agency tasked with placing traps and identifying West Nile across Tulare County. After getting the mosquito news, the cemetery district hired a temporary crew to turn over flower vases and containers to eliminate standing water. That temporary crew worked 135 hours over seven days to complete this project, cemetery managers said. The cemetery is close to 50 acres in size and there are more than 45,000 graves. More: West Nile Virus found in southwest Visalia mosquitoes Avoid mosquito bites by following these helpful tips "We understand how upsetting it is to have items removed from a loved one's gravestone and we are making every effort possible to get the word out to the public about what we are doing and why we are doing it," said Cindy Summers, Visalia Cemetery manager. Flower vases can be filled to the top with sand and plastic flowers can be placed in the sand, Summers said. Nothing should be placed in the ground at gravesites to allow groundskeepers to maintain the cemetery. In May, positive West Nile results came back from a test located along Linwood Street between Tulare and Walnut avenues. The district tests 272 strategically placed traps each week, said Mir Bear-Johnson, Delta Vector scientific program manager. The May test result was the first detection of West Nile Virus in Tulare County this year, said Karen Haught, Tulare County public health officer. "It is important to eliminate any standing water. Assure that screens on windows and doors are intact," Haught said. "Wear long sleeves and pants and use insect repellent especially at dawn and dusk when the mosquitoes that transmit West Nile Virus ar...

Garden Tips for March - Foothills Sun Gazette

Citrus, avocado and other frost-sensitives should be planted later in the month. When buying citrus, please be sure to buy from a reputable Tulare or Kings county nursery so we don't spread the Asian citrus psyllid. That means saying "no" to the neighbor or family member who has an extra citrus tree for you, and that means not bringing citrus trees into the county from elsewhere in the state. We think of March as a big color month. Lots of plants, native and non, bloom profusely in March. If you need quick color, plant ageratum, alyssum, bachelor buttons, begonias, celosia, cleome, coleus, cosmos, dusty miller, gomphrena, impatiens, lobelia, marigolds, nasturtiums, nicotiana, petunias, portulacas, salvias and verbena. It is also the month to start planting summer blooming bulbs such as cannas, calla lily, crocosmia, dahlia, gladiolus, liatris, lilies, ranunculus, tuberose and zephranthes. Buy caladiums now but wait to plant until the soil is warmer; otherwise, they will rot. Maintaining: Your pruning should be finished for the year, unless there is a safety issue. In spring, our attention turns to insect and pest issues. Hand picking large insects is easier on the garden and the ecology, if you can stand it. Using traps like rolled up newspaper or boards is another way to catch and remove insect pests like snails, slugs and earwigs. If you must use chemicals for slugs and snails, use baits containing iron phosphate, which is not toxic to children, wildlife or pets. Baits containing metaldehyde are extremely toxic. Tolerate some damage, especially from caterpillars. Think of them as the pretty butterflies and moths they will become. They are also a major food source for nesting and hatching birds now. Start setting baits out now for Argentine and other non-native ants and rotate the chemical every three months. Eliminating ants will help natural controls for a whole host of soft-bodied insects. Spittle bugs are occasionally an unsightly nuisance but do little damage. They seem to prefer rosemary and many sage varieties. The foam protects babies from birds, but populations rarely grow large and the "spittle" doesn't stay long. If rain is not plentiful, water your new transplants well and keep them from completely drying out. This attention to irrigation is one reason planting in the spring is more difficult than in the fall, although some springs are wet...
