1 SUMMER 2014 Your Summer Schedule COASTAL GARDEN CLUB Summer Schedule No Coastal Garden Club membership meetings are scheduled for the summer. The next club meeting is September 22, THINGS TO DO After this cold, cold winter, it s great to finally welcome summer. If you haven t made plans, here are some things to do: Propagate Your plants may be perfect for you right now, but don t forget we (the members) are going to have to provide all of our plants for the plant sale next year. Our wonderful Joan Scharenbrock has finally decided to take it easy, and she and her husband won t be donating plants. So now s the time to increase the number of your plants so they ll be well established when it s time to dig them up next April. There are many ways to propagate - seeds, root division, cuttings - do some research to see what the best method is to use on your particular plants. The internet or our wonderful books at the library should have all the answers. Volunteer We always need help pulling weeds at the butterfly garden at Rourk Park. Plant Think about using native plants as you continue to develop your yards and gardens. Share Fresh vegetables are always cherished by those of us who don t have the space or sun to grow veggies. If you re lucky enough to have a great cutting garden, PAGE 1
2 SUMMER 2014 PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Spring was a little late coming to our area but it was lovely, just in time for our successful Garden Tour. We will have a flower show in early May 2015 and the committee is already at work planning it. Our flower arranging classes will be geared toward the flower show. We are adding a new project this October Plant it Pink. Karen Beiger and Peggy Harrison are chairing this committee and hope to get the merchants in Shallotte to join us. At its June meeting, the board agreed that we continue the collection of non-perishable Incoming officers for food in support of Shallotte Presbyterian Church and their participation in the food bank. Don t forget to bring your goodies to the meetings The dog days of summer are almost upon us. Please remember to keep yourselves as well as your lawns and gardens hydrated Enjoy your summer.

5 DEER DETERRENTS How often have you heard the deer ate my down to nothing or my were there last night and they are gone this morning? Deer are certainly lovely creatures but a nuisance to any gardener in this and many other areas. There are some deterrents we can use but nothing is 100 percent fool proof. I know from gardening in Connecticut that deer love daylilies, so before I planted them I bought four metal poles (4 to 5 feet high) and lots of deer netting. I then erected the poles at each corner of a rectangle large enough to give the plants room to grow and completely enclosed with deer netting. All these supplies can be purchased at Lowe s. I also have deer netting on all my azaleas. Other options include an egg formula you spray on 3-Tbs Murphy s oil soap, 3-Tbs ammonia, 1 egg and 1 gallon of water. I understand this works for a while but deer get used to it. Our neighbor encloses a bar of Irish Spring soap in a woman s silk stocking and hangs this from tree limbs. She says this works. Another neighbor has crows * (motion sensor water jets) inserted around the yard. Then there is the solar powered colored lights placed in the ground that change color. They may be purchased at Amazon.com. Another interesting concept to keep the deer away is to have photo cell units attached to trees.** The light charges during the day and blinks red at night. Deer resistant shrubs depends on availability of more delicious plants and the age of the deer. Young deer haven t learned the etiquette of avoiding the bad tasting plants. We occasionally use Deer Off spray (available at Green Resource on Rt 17). This is a foul smelling concentrate solution you just add water. Another chemical is Plantskydd for $25 from Amazon and claims to work up to six months. The only problem with using spray-on solutions is when it rains you have to repeat the process. Several websites recommend alternating different chemical solutions. These are a few ideas we have found semieffective. If you have some more let us know. *Scarecrows $54 from Amazon **Nite Guard solar predator control lights ($19.18 from Amazon). Janet Lewis PAGE 5
6 INVASIVE PLANTS This information was taken from the North Carolina State University website titled Invasive, Exotic Plants of the Southeast at howto/mapping/invexse/ index.html. They ve provided a list of selected invasive, exotic species that are causing particular problems for native plants or wildlife in the Southeast. Without natural checks, an exotic species can invade the native habitat, crowd out native plants, and reduce the diversity of foods available to birds and other wildlife. When at all possible, these plants should be SUMMER 2014 removed from the landscape and replaced with native plants. Use this list to identify the invasive, exotic plants in your landscape. Descriptions and photographs can be found online. Invasive plants can be controlled by a variety of methods e.g., pulling or mowing or herbicides.
