Riley County Extension Blog: December 2011
http://rileycountyextension.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 9, 2011. Thursday, December 1, 2011. Bulb planting can be done until the ground freezes. Here a Riley County Extension Master Gardener is planting tulips at the Riley County Office Building. You can find good prices on bulbs at local stores. Spring blooming bulbs add early season color (excitement) to the landscape. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). K-State Research and Extension. Bordered Patch (Chlosune lacina) butterfly.

Riley County Extension Blog: April 2012
http://rileycountyextension.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 12, 2012. I was invited to look at this lawn. After discussion, it appears the lawn has several issues. It was over-seeded last fall. Some of the turf is still young. It has been fertilized perhaps too much in places. The leaves and stems had lesions. Cure - mow tall and water as needed. No fertilizer until fall. If the weather stays cool, the turf will improve. If it come hot, the turf will decline and need attention come fall. Wednesday, April 4, 2012. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Riley County Extension Blog: May 2012
http://rileycountyextension.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 24, 2012. My black raspberry canes are growing fast. The new canes should be summer-tipped by removing 2-3 inches from the top. That leaves a 3 feet long cane from the ground. I pinch mine off but hand shears or gloves may be recommended. This promotes growth of side branches and stocky plants that are more ridged. It is necessary to tip the ends of new canes several times during the summer. Wednesday, May 23, 2012. Thursday, May 17, 2012. Tuesday, May 15, 2012. Wednesday, May 9, 2012.

Riley County Extension Blog: Rose Blooms
http://rileycountyextension.blogspot.com/2012/07/rose-blooms.html
Monday, July 16, 2012. I'm surprise that my hybrid tea roses are still blooming. This vase has my 3 favorite red roses, Mister Lincoln, Olympiad and Papa Meilland. They are all very fragrant. Another worthy red rose is Veterans' Honor. Hopefully, there will be some available for the Riley County fair. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). K-State Research and Extension.

Riley County Extension Blog: Its Cracking
http://rileycountyextension.blogspot.com/2012/08/its-cracking.html
Thursday, August 9, 2012. This soil crack is 2 inches wide. It is the biggest one I found in my yard. We missed another rain chance last night. Hopefully, we will get rain and cooler temperatures so that we can decide what to do this fall with the lawn. August 30, at 6 pm is a program on fall lawn care at Pottorf Hall in preparation for Lawn Labor Day weekend. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). K-State Research and Extension.

Riley County Extension Blog: Lawn Weeds
http://rileycountyextension.blogspot.com/2012/10/lawn-weeds.html
Wednesday, October 3, 2012. Now is the best time to manage broadleaf weeds. Dandelions, henbit (picture), chickweed, speedwell, and other weeds are easiest removed when small. A thick, healthy lawn will crowd out most weeds. Broadleaf weed herbicides can be applied anytime the weed is actively growing. Read and follow your products label for best and safest use.

Riley County Extension Blog: March 2012
http://rileycountyextension.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 9, 2012. Spring is in the Air. Today is a great day to get out and get some work done. At least this honeybee thanks so. This shrub is the fragrant honeysuckle. One of several on the north west side of the courthouse. One of the first shrubs to bloom and the fragrance is wonderful. I suggest you have one. I have two. They get big. Perhaps 10 feet x 10 feet.
