Consumer Alert:
Beware of pine straw scam
ATLANTA Attorney General Chris Carr is warning Georgians about a scam involving door-to-door sales of pine straw or mulch. Consumers have complained about disreputable landscapers coming to their doors, claiming to have left-over pine straw or mulch from a previous job and offering it to the consumer at a heavily discounted rate.
After the consumer agrees to the recommended number of bales, the scammer lays down fewer bales than agreed upon and then tells the consumer he will need to lay down an additional number of bales to cover the yard at a cost of hundreds of dollars more. If the consumer refuses, the scammer tries to intimidate the consumer. Sometimes consumers give in to these scare tactics just to get the scammer to leave.
The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division offers the following tips to help you avoid a door-to-door landscaping scam: Ask to see the solicitation permit issued
by the city, if applicable. Ask to see a business card and make
sure you get the name of the business and the employee. Ask for the business' website and check it out. Check the Secretary of State's website to see if the person has a business license. Check Better Business Bureau's website (bbb.org) to see if there are any complaints against the business. Before someone starts the work, ask to get the terms in writing, including the scope of the job, quantity of materials and the final price. To be safe, say no to door-to-door solicitations and instead contact a reputable company, perhaps one that a friend or neighbor recommends. If you are being harassed by a door-todoor salesperson, call 911.

A 2017 map of periodical cicada broods prepared by the U.S. Forest Service (page 14) shows three Georgia counties being impacted by Brood X emergence: Fannin, Gilmer, and Union. But according to Dr. Nancy Hinkle, professor of entomology at the University of Georgia, older maps indicate that Brood X emerges as far south as the Gnat Line (about to Macon).
"That's why we want everyone to be watching and to report when they find cicadas this spring," Hinkle said. Email photos and location to Insects@uga.edu.
Brood XIX emergence of 13-year cicadas in 2024 will affect:
Catoosa, Chattooga, Cherokee, Fulton, Jackson, Madison, Polk, Richmond, Walker, and White counties.

Brood X cicadas will raise the decibel level of spring after a 17-year hiatus

By Amy Carter
amy.carter@agr.georgia.gov
The hills will be alive with more music than usual this year.
Prior to the emergence of annual cicadas, who sing without ceasing through the afternoons and early evenings of summer and fall, Brood X of the periodical cicada genus Magicicada will surface again in April after spending 17 years underground.
According to Dr. Allan Sanborn, professor of biology at Barry University in Miami Shores, Fla., there are seven species of periodical cicadas and 20 species of annual cicadas from the genera Neotibicen, Megatibicen, Diceroprocta, Neocicada and Cicadetta that appear in Georgia.
Annual cicadas are found across the United States and all around the world, but periodical cicadas are found only in the eastern half of the U.S. through the Midwest, South

and East, according to Dr. Nancy Hinkle, professor of entomology at the University of Georgia in Athens.
Although the U.S. Forest Service puts Brood X in just three north Georgia Counties Fannin, Gilmer and Union Hinkle said they've been spotted as far south as Macon. If you hear cicadas singing all day, you're hearing periodical cicadas, she said. (Crickets and katydids sing at night.)
Periodical cicadas like Brood X are localized populations that emerge in large numbers in prime-numbered intervals. Primes are only divisible by 1 and themselves, so waiting 13 or 17 years to surface reduces competition and predation from insects and other animals whose populations peak more frequently, Sanborn said.
"Using a prime means you will miss emerging with other regular cycles (of periodical cicadas) a greater amount of the time. For example, the 13- and 17-year broods emerge

together only every 221 years if they inhabit the same location," Sanborn said.
It is also harder for a potential predator to synchronize to the prime, Sanborn said, giving the different species within the brood a chance to reproduce in greater numbers.
"Pretty much anything will eat the cicadas when they emerge because the cicadas have lost their anti-predator behaviors. Their strategy is to have so many animals emerge, mate, and lay eggs that the species will continue in time regardless of the losses to predators," he said.
The number of periodical cicadas emerging in a single brood can be astronomical as many as three million individuals an acre in an old-growth forest. Female cicadas lay eggs in twigs and branches. After several weeks, young nymphs hatch and drop to the ground, where they dig into the ground to feed off the liquid sucked from tree and plant roots.

In the field: Vidalia onions

By Chris Tyson
Area Onion Agent and Coordinator
Vidalia Onion and Vegetable
Research Center
LYONS We are just a few short weeks away from Vidalia Onion harvest in April. Our Vidalias were transplanted in the fields in November and December, each one planted by hand.
Farmers have spent the last three months caring for the crop, making sure it has the water and fertilizer needed to grow. During that time, the onions were growing the above ground portion of the plant the leaves. This is important because onions need big, healthy tops with nice green leaves to grow the below-ground portion of the plant that we enjoy the onion bulb.
March is an important time for Vidalia Onions. This is when the bulbs begin to develop. Warmer and longer days prompt the

onions to transition to this next phase, when they will need adequate water to make big bulbs.
One thing that sets Vidalia Onions apart from your average onion is their mild, sweet flavor. This is due to the climate and soil of South Georgia, the Vidalia growing region. We have very sandy soil, and sandy soil does not hold nutrients like sulfur very well. It allows rainwater to leach or "wash it out" of the root zone of onions. Sulfur gives onions their "hot" flavor. The absence of this sulfur in our soil is what gives our onions their sweet, mild flavor.
It is still a little early to tell how plentiful the crop will be. Farmers must deal with a lot of things that are out of their control primarily the weather but they have done everything they can up to this point. Mother Nature gets the final say. Hopefully, there will be plenty of Vidalias to go around this spring.

A lot happens underground in March when Vidalia Onion bulbs mature ahead of April harvest. (Chris Tyson/UGA)

Larry For The Country: Working for peanuts in downtown Perry

By Larry Walker
lwalker@whgmlaw.com
Saturday morning. 7 o'clock. September, 1955. Daddy, David, and I are in the pick-up and headed to what we call "Daddy's Farm." Actually, it is jointly owned by my Grandfather Gray and Daddy. We have already had a hot meal, breakfast, thanks to Mother. At our house, we have three hot meals a day bless her heart. It is already hot and Daddy, as is his nature, has his left arm hanging out the open window. This arm is very tanned, especially when compared to his right arm. No car air-conditioning for us in 1955, and this is how you try to stay cool. David is 8 years old, I am 12, and Daddy is 38. Thirty-eight seems very old to me. I am sleepy, but talkative. David is sleepy and quiet. Daddy is all business, because we are on an important mission getting the peanuts washed, boiled, sacked and ready for sale. Daddy's farm seems to me to be "out in the country." In fact, it is a couple of miles from our house on Swift Street. We arrive in a cloud of dust and are greeted by Daddy's tenant, George Johnson, better known as "Hoss" or "Big Hoss." Today, I would call him Mr. Big Hoss. He is a very big man and is reputed to be the strongest man in our area. "They" say he can pick up the end of an automobile by himself. What size car and what end, I do

not know. One hand is missing, having been shot off in a hunting accident. He doesn't have a tooth in his head, but can bite an apple in two. I like him very much, but am somewhat afraid of him, even though he is always nice to me.
Hoss has the dug peanuts ready to be picked off the vines, and David and I start this task. It is not hard work, although you have to be careful to remove the stems and the leaves from the picked-off nuts. In a short period of time, we have a large quantity of peanuts ready for washing. Hoss, with a water hose, helps us with the washing. By now, Daddy has gone, returning to town to work. We carefully clean the peanuts and put the cleaned nuts in a large black wash-pot, along with an ample amount of water and salt. Hoss then starts a fire under the pot, and soon the peanuts are boiling. We help keep the fire going this is the fun part and stir the peanuts with a stick. Periodically, the three of us sample the nuts. They are good!
About 12:45 p.m., Daddy arrives in the pick-up, and the three of us with two or three large buckets of peanuts return home where Mother and my brother and sister who are twins Charles and Lynda await our return. After another hot meal, Mother, Daddy, David, and I bag the nuts 100 large brown paper sacks full. We keep four and put 96 sacks in the pickup to be taken to town for selling. Daddy supplies us with "change" (coins and dollar bills) so that we will be "ready for business" when commerce commences. By now, it is 3 p.m. in downtown Perry, Georgia, and the streets are full of people. Everything looks encouraging and we are anxious to start our selling venture.

Our 96 sacks of boiled peanuts are tightly packed into cardboard boxes. It takes several large boxes because the large sacks are full Daddy believes in our giving full measure for the 10 cents yes, 10 cents that the customer is going to pay for these "Georgia ground peas." We take our supply of peanuts to Gray-Walker Supply (later to be known as Walker-Thompson Supply) which is located in the middle of Carroll Street, and store the peanuts under the watchful eyes of Ed Thompson and Glea Gray. We are going to work out of the "feed store" until we sell all of the peanuts. David and I receive some good-natured ribbing from these two "you boys probably won't be able to sell all these peanuts; where have you been all day; your customers have all gone home," etc. Then, both of them become our first customers and we have grossed 20 cents! In a smaller cardboard box, I place 20 bags and David gets 10 bags and we are out the front door a little apprehensive but ready to go to work.
Every time we go, we sell all of our nuts. And, on the following Monday, we take our $9.60 to the local savings and loan, half it, and David puts his one-half in his account and I put my one-half in mine. That is, all but 50 cents each, which both of us will put in the offering plate at the Perry Methodist Church on the next Sunday.

Georgia Grown in Season
Collards Green onions Snap beans Strawberries Turnips
THE WORK Graham Cracker Crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a food processor, blender, or plastic bag and rolling pin, crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and sugar and combine thoroughly, until mixture forms clumps when squeezed with your hand. Press into a 9-inch pie plate, using the back of a measuring cup to compact tightly. Bake for 8-10 minutes and let cool.
Filling: Puree strawberries, sugar, and water in a blender until smooth. Place in saucepan and simmer on medium heat, stirring occasionally until it thickens and takes on a syrupy texture, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve 1/2 cup of puree, saving the rest for another use.
Place milk and lemon zest, if using, in a small saucepan. Heat mixture over medium heat, bringing just to the point of boiling but do not boil. Meanwhile, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl. Slowly pour milk mixture into yolk mixture, whisking to prevent curdling. Pour mixture back into the pot and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until mixture has thickened and starts to boil. Remove from heat. Whisk in butter tablespoon by tablespoon, then whisk in vanilla and reserved strawberry puree. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps. Allow to cool to room temperature. Pour into prebaked crust and chill completely, at least 4 hours.
To serve: Trim strawberries and cut into inch slices. Arrange strawberry slices on top of the pie.

Egg candling classes return
Egg candling classes are back on the Georgia Department of Agriculture's Events Calendar after a year-long absence caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and are being offered virtually. Candling refers to the candlelight that was once used to look inside an egg without breaking it open. Farmers initially candled eggs to determine if a viable embryo was inside. Candling also helps determine the quality of eggs for human consumption. Georgians who want to produce and sell shell eggs at retail to the end consumer must comply with the Georgia Egg Law by obtaining an egg candling certificate from the Georgia Department of Agriculture. Candlers may receive this certification after attending an online Egg Candling Class and then successfully completing a virtual examination. Register for this free course online at http://agr. georgia.gov/egg-candling-certification.aspx.

Mercer Medical Moment: BPH is a common diagnosis unknown to many

By Sarah Hampton
Mercer University School of Medicine
Third-year MD Student
Benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as BPH, is a common diagnosis evaluated and treated by physicians. It is the most common non-cancerous tumor in men. However, many men have BPH without knowing it.
BPH occurs when tissues of the prostate become enlarged. Though the exact mechanism is unknown, age-related hormone changes play a role. Benign prostatic hyperplasia affects a large portion of men, found in 70 percent between the ages of 60-69 and 80 percent older than 70. Symptoms due to prostate enlargement can begin early in life and are reported in as many as eight percent of men who are 30 years of age. While these numbers show that BPH can increase with age, studies have also found that cases are continuing to increase over time. Since 1990, symptomatic BPH has nearly doubled in the United States. Symptoms of BPH are called lower urinary tract symptoms and can include straining to urinate, sensation of incomplete bladder emptying, dribbling, urgency, frequency, and waking

to urinate multiple times throughout the night. The urethra (or tube) that leads from the bladder to outside
the body passes directly through the prostate. An enlargement of prostatic tissue, therefore, can cause compression of the urethra and block the flow of urine. As the size of the prostate continues to increase over time, symptoms can begin to develop and worsen. However, men often don't seek medical therapy and treatment is delayed because of the misconception that these symptoms are a natural part of aging.
History, physical exam, labs, and imaging are all helpful in diagnosing BPH and ruling out other causes of urinary symptoms. Prostate specific antigen, or PSA, is a molecule produced by the prostate that can be measured in blood. As volume of the prostate increases, concentration of PSA in the blood may increase. Most people associate large increases in PSA with prostate cancer. While this can be true, increases in PSA can also be a finding of a non-cancerous condition such as tissue growth (BPH), infection, or inflammation. More importantly, a diagnosis of BPH is not associated with increased risk for the development of prostate cancer.
Urinary symptoms of BPH can cause activities of daily life to be significantly hindered and have a negative impact on quality of life. Some classic examples of complaints by men with BPH can be recognized from TV commercials referencing waking often throughout the night, making

multiple stops on a road trip, or stopping play multiple times during a round of golf due to the repeated urge to urinate.
The American Urological Association uses a urinary symptom survey to most appropriately guide management and treatment on an individual basis. These questions are rated in severity based on frequency of occurrence within the past month and are as follows: How often have you had a sensation of not emptying your
bladder completely after you finished urinating? How often have you had to urinate again less than two
hours after you finished urinating? How often have you found you stopped and started again
several times when you urinated? How often have you found it difficult to postpone urina-
tion? How often have you had a weak urinary stream? How often have you had to push or strain to begin urina-
tion? How many times did you most typically get up to urinate
from the time you went to bed at night to the time you got up in the morning? If experiencing any of these, it is recommended that you talk to a physician. Treatment of BPH can vary from lifestyle changes to medication to surgery. Advances in medical and surgical therapies make BPH a manageable diagnosis that does not have to cause discomfort or hinder life.

Good To Grow: Soil testing ensures productive gardens

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Dirt is dirt, to the naked eye. But with a soil test by the University of Georgia Extension Service, anyone can see the potential in their garden or lawn.
Soil testing is available year-round and free of charge to Georgia residents through any county UGA Extension office. Fayette County UGA Extension Agent Kim Toal explained that a soil sample is one of the best tools in growing plants. It determines how productive the soil is and what nutrients are needed for the best results.
"There is no visual assessment of the soil. You can't just look at the soil and say, `Oh, okay, this one is going to be really great. It has a pH value of this, and we're going to plant these plants there,'" Toal said. "A soil test is going to be the only way to measure specifically what is the pH of that soil. That way, you can look at the plants that you want to plant there and see if those values match."
The pH balance is a measure of the soil's acidity and is a chemical factor that can affect plant growth. The pH scale runs from zero to 14. The midpoint of seven separates acid from alkaline. Any number below seven is acidic. The lower the pH number, the more acidic the soil will be. A soil pH above 7 denotes alkaline soil conditions, according to Becky Griffin, community and garden coordinator with UGA Extension.
Common vegetable gardens require slightly acidic to medium soil, so a pH range between 6.0 and 7.0 should work. Individual plants may also have preferences for soil pH balance. Toal said blueberries like more acidic soil, with a pH from 4.5 to 5.5. Lawn grass preference varies from species and region, but in Georgia, lawns do well with acidic soil between 5.8 and 6.5.
Toal added that soil conditions that can affect pH balance vary across Georgia. North Georgia's soil tends to have more clay, which tends to be more alkaline, while South Georgia's soil tends to be sandier and more acidic.

Lab assistants process soil samples received at the University of
Georgia Soil, Plant and Water Lab in Athens sent in by homeowners
and shipped by the county Extension offices across Georgia. The lab
checks the samples for pH balance that homeowners and gardeners
can use to determine how to amend their soil for best growth
condition for their plants. (UGA/Special Photo)
Fall or early winter is recommended to get the soil tested to give lime or ash amendments time to work into the soil. Toal said spring is a busy time for soil testing as people start planning gardens and working on their lawns.
"Sometimes, people are having issues with their lawn, and they want to know if the pH of the soil could be an indicator of something there. That's where we usually start first," Toal said. "We have people who add lime every single year, and now their pH is too high, like at 7.2, which is really too high for plants they were planting."
From there, she said it's a little like detective work. If the soil is balanced correctly for the plants, they will look for other factors like sunlight or water.
The extension service provides soil sample bags to use in testing. Toal said in a pinch, you can bring a resealable

plastic bag to the extension office. Along with the soil sample, landowners need to provide contact information and let the extension office know what you plan to plant in the area.
Toal said soil sampling should be done in an area of your property that is used for specific purposes, like gardening, lawns or trees, and shrubs. Collect several samples in each area in a zig-zag pattern. Digging depth depends on land use. You should dig about four inches down for lawns, while for a garden, you should dig down about six inches, Toal said.
A trowel can be used to obtain samples, but any tool available such as a shovel or mattock will work, Toal said. Some extension offices may have soil probes available to borrow. Regardless of what you use, Toal said it is important that the tools are clean so they don't contaminate the soil sample.
The samples should be free from plant matter or debris and kept in a plastic bucket to dry overnight. Mix all the samplings in the bucket and scoop out about a pint to place in the UGA Extension sample bag.
The local extension offices send the samples to the UGA Soil, Plant and Water Lab in Athens for testing. On average, it takes about three days for the lab to return the results with a pH recommendation.
Griffin recommended that you should give yourself plenty of time between getting the pH recommendation back from the lab and planting. She added you should also apply the soil amendments as soon as you get the pH recommendations, then wait one-to-two days before planting.
UGA Extension offers additional information and direction for soil testing in its publication, Circular 896: Soil Testing for Home Lawns, Gardens and Wildlife Food Plots. The circular can be found at https://extension.uga.edu/publications/.
Also, you can contact your local Extension office by calling 1-800-ASK-UGA1 (1-800-275-8421).
Griffin offers gardening tips and advice through the UGA Center for Urban Agriculture. For more information, go to http://ugaurbanag.com.

Georgie's Drive Thru Griffin
Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! You know, Georgia is home to lots of famous people, and some of their final resting places,

too. One of the oddest ones can be found in the city of Griffin at Oak Hill Cemetery. John Henry Holliday was born and raised in Griffin, before his family moved to Valdosta in his teenage years to escape Gen. Sherman's encirclement of Atlanta. When Holliday graduated from school, he went to Philadelphia to study dentistry. Not long after opening a dental practice in Griffin, he came down with tuberculosis and was advised to seek a drier climate out west. He moved to Dallas, Texas, and attempted to continue practicing dentistry, but his symptoms returned. It's hard to do a root canal with a persistent cough, I hear. He moved further west into Arizona, where "Doc" Holliday found his 30 seconds of fame at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone while helping Wyatt Earp in his famous gunfight with the Clanton Gang. When "Doc" Holliday died in 1887, his father supposedly traveled from Valdosta to Greenwood Springs, Colo., to bring his body back to Griffin for burial in an unmarked grave.

Oak Hill Cemetery in Griffin is purported to be the final resting place of O.K. Corral gunslinger John Henry "Doc" Holliday and his father, Henry. (Lee Lancaster/GDA)

"Pilgrim's is an important anchor tenant in Georgia's poultry and overall agribusiness industry," said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black. "The proposed investment demonstrates a long-term commitment to the community and state. I commend Pilgrim's leadership team and all who have helped get this project across the finish line."
The plant will be used primarily to produce pet food ingredients by processing chicken byproducts instead of dumping them in a landfill.
"Pilgrim's significant investments in Georgia represent the company's strong, ongoing commitment to our state, and drive the creation of jobs and farming opportunities that are key to a thriving agriculture sector here in the nation's leading broiler producing state," said Mike Giles, president of the Georgia Poultry Federation.

Reseeding the past
Heirloom seed collectors feed memories, preserve history

By Jay Jones
jay.jones@agr.georgia.gov
Wendell Cole in Carroll County owns a piece of history in the form of cornfield beans an old farmer gave him 60 years ago as a wedding gift. The farmer told him that the beans had been handed down in his family for generations, well over 100 years.
Cole still plants them, and last year got the next generation involved. His five great-grandchildren helped plant the beans as Cole recovered from knee replacement surgery.
"It was a family affair," Cole said. "My oldest great-grandson is 15, and he helped me through the whole process. He helped plant them, plow them, and picked them. He strung them and helped can them. He enjoyed it. Nowadays, not a lot of kids that age are interested in planting or know much about gardening or preserving vegetables."
Cole's story would warm the hearts of those who work to save heirloom seeds. They say planting vegetables from heirloom seeds and saving some seeds for the next growing season is the only way to keep the diverse vegetable varieties going. Once the cycle is broken, a variety is lost forever.
Sarah Ross saves hundreds of heirloom seeds through her work as director of the University of Georgia's Center for Research and

Tears pumpkin seeds. These seeds came from a
family that kept the seeds for generations.

Education at Wormsloe Plantation near Savannah. She knows seed loss firsthand.
She had a winter squash grown only in Georgia and called the North Georgia Honey Roaster among the 40 varieties she grows. The Honey Roaster was lost when she inadvertently gave away all the seeds, and a wetter

than usual summer wiped out her crop. "I lost the genetic strain of that squash be-
cause the people I gave the seeds to, although they planted them, they didn't save any seeds," Ross said. "So even as careful as I am, I lost the best squash that I ever tasted."
Taste and variety are the arguments from those who plant and save heirloom seeds. For every beefsteak tomato found at the grocery store or seedling at the local garden center, there are hundreds of tomato varieties in different shapes, colors, and flavors.
Seed hybrids revolutionized agriculture by making farming less unpredictable. Vegetables grown on a large scale are more disease resistant, produce more uniform vegetable shape and size, and can be harvested on a regular schedule.
Ross doesn't argue against buying produce from the store. Instead, she encourages people to expand their palate and keep certain vegetable varieties available that are delicious but may not be conducive to being produced on a large farm.
Ross pointed to the 30 varieties of collards she grows at Wormsloe. Many restaurants may only have access to commercially-grown collards, but she said they are many other possibilities.
"Nothing wrong with those collards. You pick them up, but not if you want to have that

beautiful, tender light flavor for a fresh salad," Ross said. "It's not a right or a wrong. I think of it like chefs having all 64 crayons in the box. They would have all 64 colors to choose from when they're preparing meals and not just a couple of colors."
Ross grows about 500 different plants in her gardens at Wormsloe that she uses for educational outreach. She shares seeds with chefs in the coastal region and plans to use the seeds to teach school children in Georgia how to garden.
Ross also gives away seeds through her See HEIRLOOM SEEDS, page 16

Brood X Cicadas: Most crops are safe, but young trees could suffer in cicada onslaught

Continued From Page 1 There is little ecological purpose to the emergence of
periodical cicadas "the cicadas are in it for themselves," Sanborn said but some benefit more than others from their appearance.
"Cicadas are not poisonous and can, in fact, be cooked and eaten by humans (we recommend discarding the wings and legs)," Hinkle said. "Wildlife also enjoy eating cicadas. Because turkeys and other wildlife will gain so much additional nutrition from periodical cicadas this year, increased turkey populations can be anticipated this fall. Fish also benefit from consuming all the cicada carcasses that will fall into lakes and streams."
Although often confused with locusts a type of grasshopper that does extensive damage to crops cicadas do not eat vegetation and only pose a threat to young trees. They feed on the sap from tree roots (as nymphs underground), twigs, and branches. The females also damage trees and
A grafted apple tree seedling at the Georgia Mountain Research and Education Center is painted white to repel cicadas. (Ray Covington/ UGA)

plants when they channel into the branches to lay their eggs, which can cause the tip to dry and fall off.
That's how Ray Covington, superintendent of the Georgia Mountain Research and Education Center in Union County, lost a prized fruit tree to the last Brood X emergence in 2004.
"I had a beautiful Yoshino cherry planted in my garden. It was about six inches in diameter. It had relatively thin bark and the cicadas found it favorable for depositing eggs. I lost the tree," he said.
Brood X poses a similar threat to the Heritage Apple Orchard recently planted at the center to re-establish varieties once common in North Georgia. Covington has turned to an old deterrent in hopes of protecting the trees from the coming swarm.
"An insecticide will not help because the insects are not

feeding on the bark. I use insecticidal barriers for other insects like borers that will consume some bark on their way into the trunk," he said.
"The method I am going to use (on the young apple trees) is to create a barrier of paint. I have asked around and some of the old orchard specialists say that this does help. The insects can still pierce through the paint and into the bark, but the consensus is that the paint-coated bark does not feel right to the insect, so hopefully they will move on to another tree."
There are 1,450 other apple trees planted on the property for various research trials, but because they're more mature, they'll be better able to withstand some of the damage cicadas may cause, Covington said.
"It's the small ones with the thinnest bark that are most vulnerable," he said.

Georgia strawberry season is here!
Lots of farms offer u-pick, grab-and-go access to fresh fruit

By Cheryl Smith Agritourism Manager Georgia Department of Agriculture

Did you know? Eight strawberries provide 140 percent of the recommend-
ed daily intake of Vitamin C for kids. More than 53 percent of kids from seven to nine years old
picked strawberries as their favorite fruit. Strawberries are the first fruits to become ripe in the spring
as well as being the only fruit with seeds on the outside. In 13th century France, strawberries were thought to be an
aphrodisiac and were served in soups to newlyweds. Legend has it that strawberries were named in the 19th
Century by English children who picked the fruit, strung them on grass straws and sold them as "straws of berries." Whatever we know about strawberries, we all know they are delicious. It doesn't matter if they are in cakes, pies, ice cream, smoothies, or all by themselves in a bowl topped with whipped cream, everyone loves this fresh fruit of spring. Half the fun of picking strawberries is eating them, so plan an outing to enjoy the fresh air, family fun and the strawberries.

Heirloom Seeds: Sharing is a tradition

Continued From Page 14
nonprofit Social Roots (https://socialrootsseeds.com/). Those who request seeds can get Georgia Red okra, Brandywine tomatoes, Cherokee Trail of Tears beans or other vegetables to plant.
Ross notes on the website that giving away seeds may seem unusual, but seed sharing is a time-honored tradition that connects families and communities while supporting a sustainable food source.
The University of North Georgia's Saving Appalachian Gardens and Stories project is another effort to preserve heirloom seeds unique to Georgia. The project is a partnership between the university and the UGA Extension Service to provide cold storage for seeds passed down by families through the years.
The project is also part of the university's Appalachian Studies Center to preserve the area's heritage, according to Karrie Ann Fadroski, the project founder and a senior lecturer in biology at the university.
Becky Griffin, community and school garden coordinator for the UGA Extension

Service, helped start the project in 2006. She said seed saving can also be taught in collaboration with school gardens and intertwined with history lessons.
"Some of these seeds that have been collected might be the only ones that are left," Griffin said. "Seed saving and sharing can be an important way for many cultures to preserve their heritage. What makes people feel like they're at home is what's in their garden."
Cole keeps growing his cornfield beans because they are easy to grow and produce well. He said the harvest last year yielded 10-12 bushels. He gave away some beans to friends and family, canned some, and kept a few gallons in the freezer. He said he's looking to sell some beans "to help my grandkids out."
Also, Cole said the beans taste good. "It's a big old long bean, about 12 inches long and sort of flat. And they're good caning beans," Cole said. "Matter of fact, we ate some this week for a couple of meals, and they're delicious."

Nonprofit Social Roots gives away heirloom seeds to those who sign up with the promise of growing them and saving the seeds. The varieties offered can be grown in most places.
