Not exactly excited with all this cold weather. Rick and I did most of what we wanted done in getting ready for winter. Now, we are getting the shop/studio area ready for the deer hunters that call Picnic Woods Dr. home for several days. The last two years has gone by very quickly and thanks to all who helped with EVERY THING. We especially had to come up with a plan after the closing of Luster Heights. Each year we do smooth out some of the growing wrinkles. We have the new officer slate filled and thanks to all who have said “Yes”. I am also working on getting everything ready for another knee replacement. This will happen in January. Happy Holidays to all and Thanks again.

For as long as humans have walked the earth, we’ve depended on plants for food, shelter, to act as environ-mental filters, and to simply make life more enjoyable. Without plants, life would cease to exist. And this im-portant and necessary bond between people and plants carries on today…and that fortunate combination of plant science and artistic/practical application, for the expressed purpose of societal benefit is called horticulture. Horticulturists grow fresh fruits and vegetables, plan and create beautiful landscapes, cultivate and maintain acres of turfgrass for recreation and function, breed new plants for pest resistance and environmental toler-ance, and educate young and old alike about the many benefits of horticultural crops. Horticulture is a scien-tific pursuit…it’s a profession…it’s a passion…and it’s a necessity. Iowa, our nation, and the world needs hor-ticulture and more horticulturists! But horticulturists don’t grow on trees. In fact, becoming a horticulturist requires a unique educational journey that includes both classroom and laboratory training and practical, hand’s-on experiences. And the very best place in the world to receive that kind of education is right here in the Department of Horticulture at Iowa State University. Expert and dedicated faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and a welcoming and supportive education-al environment are part of the horticulture experience at Iowa State. Visit https://www.hort.iastate.edu/ to find out more.

Horticulture is the OLDEST Profession— ISEUO

Thymely Tidbits—Pat Meeter An update incase of memory loss or getting a new plant. Christmas cactus is a tropical not a desert cac-tus. It needs bright, indirect light with and east or north facing window the best. Also keep it out of drafts and away from heat vents. The cactus also does well outdoors in a shady spot during summer.

A cactus will not bloom or grow if completely dried out. once a week is fine in the house in winter. Water thoroughly until the water runs out of the bottom; then leave until the top 1" of soil is dry. In order to have blooms for Christmas, stop watering the first of October and resume in November with light watering. When the plant has finished blooming, discontinue watering for six weeks so it can rest. If you choose to program the bloom time, the cactus should be treated like a poinsettia with 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness with cool temperatures. I am not particular about the bloom time, so have had good luck leaving the plant outdoors until night temperatures fall below 50 degrees.

I want to introduce you to the two service members working in local schools this year in partnership with the NE Iowa Food and Fitness Initiative and Farm to School.

Claire Anderson is the FoodCorps member in Postville, and she is return-ing for a second year. [email protected]

Harleigh Boldridge is the new AmeriCorps service member in Waukon. In addition to helping with the outdoor garden areas, Harleigh will be assisting in the Waukon school greenhouse this year. [email protected]

Please join me in welcoming Claire and Harleigh to Allamakee County! Feel free to extend an invitation to them to attend an upcoming meeting.

Welcome Two Service Members —Teresa Wiemerslage

Harleigh & Claire

Don’t Forget —Lana Dahlstrom Don’t forget to stay active this winter. Here are some ideas to help you stay on track. Don’t forget to stretch! Flexibility prevents cramps, stiffness and injuries. Choose activities that you enjoy, trying doing something different each day. Walking is the perfect activity! It is easy, cheap, and can be done nearly anywhere and at any time. Write down the amount of time you are active during the day, add them up at the end of the month to see how you did. Set a goal for yourself and keep yourself accountable for your actions! Good Luck!

“To shorten winter, borrow some money due in spring.”

By: Hilary Meyer, EatingWell Recipe Contributor These helpful tips turn so-so slow-cooked meals into magnificent mains you'll want to make again and again. The beauty of using a slow cooker or a Crock-Pot is that it's pretty darn simple. Prep your ingredients, add them to the slow cooker and press a button or two. But there is a difference between a good slow-cooker meal and a great slow-cooker meal. Good ones get dinner on the table. Great ones, however, are remembered, talked about and requested. Here are some tips that can help you turn basic slow-cooker dinners into standout supper stars everyone will enjoy. These tips will also help you know when a slow-cooker recipe is destined to be great—and when you should just keep scrolling. 1. Use the Right Size Slow cookers are available in a range of sizes, from one quart to 8 1/2 quarts. Use the size cook-er recommended in each recipe. This helps make certain that the slow cooker isn't overflowing or underfilled, and it will help ensure that your meal can cook properly. 2. Don't Overfill Your Slow Cooker To make sure your meal is finished in the time listed on your recipe, and to avoid potential food-safety hazards, don't overfill your slow cooker. Most manufacturers recommend filling the crocks inside a slow cooker no more than two-thirds full, but it differs among brands. Check your owner's manual. If your ingredients will fill your slow cooker, look for a bigger cooker. Don't try to eliminate ingredients or cut the recipe in half. Slow-cooker recipes are tested and designed to deliver the best results in the time you cook the dish. If you remove ingredients or shrink the recipe, you should overcook your meal or alter the flavor. 3. Keep a Lid on It Resist the urge to remove the lid and peek at your meal. Opening the slow cooker lets heat and moisture escape, and it slows the cooking process. Once you put the lid on, leave it there until your dish reaches the low end of the recipe's cooking range. In other words, if the instructions recommend cooking the recipe for six to eight hours, don't be tempted to remove the lid until you reach hour six. When you reach that point, feel free to lift the led, test tem-peratures and tenderness. Put the lid back on if it needs more time, and only remove the lid every 30 to 45 to check doneness again. Constant lifting and stirring may slow your cook time and interfere with how ingredients cook.

To appreciate the beauty of a snow flake, it's necessary to stand out in the cold.

7 Tricks for Better Slow-Cooking in Your Crock Pot

"A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water." Carl Reiner

I thought I would share the nine new 2018 AAS (All American Selective) winners in flowers and vegetables. Article taken from “Country Folks Grower” publication. 1. Begonia Viking XL Red on Chocolate -A brand new begonia with large uniquely colored dark bronze/brown leaves. Covered with vibrant red flowers it retains its shape well and does not become rangy. Perfect for landscapes and containers (www.sakataornamentals.com) 2. Marigold Big Duck Gold-Big Duck Gold sports very large golden-yellow flowers that continue blooming throughout the season much larger than the comparisons. Full, “plump” blooms top the 15 inch plants. Use them everywhere-beds, containers, landscapes as mini hedges (www.ameriseed.net) 3. Nasturtium Baby Rose-petite-flowered, mounding variety with healthy, dark foliage ideal for containers and small space gardens. Both leaves and flowers are edible. (www.takii.eu) The last nasturtium winner was in 1930’s. 4. Pepper Just Sweet-A unique snacking pepper with four lobes like a larger bell pepper only smaller. Not only are the three-inch fruits deliciously sweet with nice thick walls but the plants are vigorous growers (up to 36 inches tall and 15 inches wide) that don’t need to be staked because they've been bred to have a strong, bushy habit. Consumer taste tests won hands down. (www.seminisus.com) 5. Petunia Wave Carmine Velour-large 2-2.5 inch flowers literally cover the easy-care spreading plants that rarely need deadheading because new blooms continuously pop-up and cover the spent blooms. Excellent in landscape, containers and hanging baskets (www.panamseed.com) 6. Tomato Chef’s Choice Black-Beefsteak-type tomato with dark green/brown/black hue. Plants were early to set and had a meaty interior with great flavor. A prolific yield of 8 oz fruits grown on 5 foot indeterminate vines. You’ll harvest 30 or more blemish-free fruits from this disease-resistant plant. (www.seedsbydesign.com) 7. Tomato Fire Fly-not as small as a currant tomato and not as large as a cherry tomato just in-between size. Pale white to pale yellow. Indeterminate plants must be staked or caged as they grown up to 5 or 6 feet and have good disease resistance (www.seedsbydesign.com) 8. Tomato Red Torch-a striped oblong tomato with 1.5 inch long fruits that weigh about 1.5 oz. Very prolific, early-season producer. Excellent tolerance to heat and harsh growing conditions. Indeterminate vines that grow 5-6 fee tall and ripen 60-70 days from transplanting. (awhaley.com) 9. Tomato Sparky XSL-X-tended Shelf Life cherry tomato available to home gardeners. Early to mature, prolific and very flavorful. Suited for market growers. Excellent tolerance to heat and harsh growing condi-tions. (awhaley.com)

Salt Free Homemade Chili Powder —Pat Meeter

My family and I enjoy this recipe. You can adjust the vegetables to your families liking, try using brown rice, white rice or even noodles to change it up. Plus the best part, is the leftovers, they still taste great the next day! This recipe serves 4 and can be done in about 30 minutes. 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 Tbsp butter 1 lb smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced ¼-inch thick 1 small onion, chopped 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped 2 C broccoli florets 1½ cups cooked rice 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion salt ¼ tsp pepper 1 C shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese Instructions Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and olive oil till butter sizzles. Add the slice smoked sausage and onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until onion is tender and sausage begins to brown. Add the red bell pepper and broccoli. Cover, reduce heat and cook about 5 minutes. Add the cooked rice, garlic powder and onion salt. Combine well, cover and heat until rice is hot. Add the shredded cheese and remove from heat. Stir in cheese until it’s melted.

4. Plan Your Meals Ahead If you want to turn your slow cooker on first thing in the morning, a little planning goes a long way. • The night before: Cut and trim any meat, chop any vegetables, measure out dry ingredients and prepare any sauce; refrigerate the components in separate containers. (Do not refrigerate components in the slow-cooker insert; a cold in-sert takes too long to heat up and affects cooking time and food safety.) • In the morning: Add ingredients to the cooker according to the recipe; reheat any sauce to a simmer before adding. If you won't be home close to the end of the cooking time, make sure you have a slow cooker that can switch to a warm-ing setting once cooking is complete. 5. Maximize Flavor If you're in a hurry or really prefer to just dump your ingredients in the cooker and go, then you can skip this tip—it's by no means necessary. But when I have a little extra time, I like to brown my meat and/or vegetables in a skillet before I add them to the cooker. Then I "deglaze" the pan with my liquid to get all the brown, caramelized bits from the sauté pan into the cooker. You'll end up with a richer flavor that can't be achieved by slow-cooking alone. 6. Keep Temperature in Mind A slow cooker is certainly convenient, but if not used correctly, you could create several food-safety hazards. Temperatures between 40° and 140°F fall into the so-called "Danger Zone," where bacteria thrive. When using a slow cooker, be sure to take precautions that keep food from being in the Danger Zone for too long. These steps include: • Never add frozen ingredients to your slow cooker. • Refrigerate any ingredients you've prepped ahead in separate storage containers. • Bring liquids to a simmer before adding them to your cooker if you're cooking your dish in the slow cooker on the low setting. This give the ingredients and the heating process a jump-start. • Never attempt to cook a whole chicken or roast in your slow cooker: large hunks of meat won't cook thoroughly enough in the slow cooker. When cooking with meat, make sure it's cut into smaller pieces that will cook thoroughly. 7. Make Sure You Have the Best Slow Cooker You may have a 20-year-old slow cooker that still works great, but it's probably a basic cooker for which you need to time your cooking manually and be present to turn off. Older slow cook-ers are great when you'll be home, such as during the holidays, but on busy weeks, you need a machine that makes your life easier. A programmable slow cooker cooks your meal for a predetermined time and then switches to a setting that keeps the food at a safe temperature until you're ready to eat.

Your gorgeous yard plants might be snoozing for the winter, but it’s possible to get a chlorophyll fix by bringing home some new indoor plants until life returns to the outside. Houseplants aren’t just boring green leafy things. Lots of them bloom or have colorful leaves or interesting forms and textures, giving chic new alternatives to yesteryear’s plain-Janes. Just because a plant is better-looking doesn’t mean it’s harder to grow. Chic plants generally take the same care as age-old peace lilies and Chinese evergreens. Match them to their preferred indoor light, don’t overwater, and watch for early bug outbreaks, and you’ll likely get years of enjoyment out of your botanical investment. Check out these 14 indoor plants: Succulents This group of drought-tough, fleshy-leafed plants are trendy both inside and out lately because they come in so many forms and are so easy to grow (just don’t overwater). Grow them by a sunny window in winter, then move them into pots, troughs, and window boxes outside in summer. Some are creepers, some grow paddle-like leaves, and some grow in rose-like clusters. Colors range from green to blue to gold to red. Aeonium Aeonium is a particularly cool species of succulent with glossy leaves arranged in a rosette pattern atop short, squat stalks. ‘Swartkop’ is striking with its nearly jet-black leaves, while ‘Sunburst’ is a neon-gold and green blend with rosy edges. Cactus Yeah, these grow in fat, green, spiny columns in the desert, but the family also includes little ones that grow into balls and assorted, slow-growing, upright forms. Cactus comes in a variety of colors as well as shapes, and some of them bloom with “caps” of red. Plant a variety of them in a trough-style planter to make yourself a little indoor cactus gar-den. Rex begonia Lots of houseplants offer their color in the leaves as opposed to flowers. The queen of beautiful leaves is the Rex begonia, a family of semi-succulent, tender plants that have wide, pointed, fuzzy leaves in all sorts of color blends, usually in variations of burgundy, rose, silver, cream and green. They do well as a potted shade plant outside in summer. Stromanthe 'Triostar' Another indoor plant with striking foliage is stromanthe ‘Triostar,’ a tropical with a bushy habit and strappy leaves. The plant gets its name from its three foliage colors of cream, green and burgundy. Wandering jew An oldie-but-goodie, this one’s a vine with gorgeous leaves of green, silvery-white and metallic lavender. Wandering jew does well in even low light inside, and it’s best grown in a hanging basket to let the foliage trail down. It’ll also grow solo as a hanging-basket vine outside in summer. Keep it in the shade there. Variegated moses-in-a-cradle Another foliage beauty, variegated moses-in-a-cradle (sometimes called “moses-in-a-boat”) also has green, white and lavender foliage, although the leaves are more bladed than wandering jew. The habit of this one trails and spills, although not so much as a true vine like ivy or wandering jew. It’ll do the shade outside in sum-mer. Peperomia Peperomia is another trailer that’s distinctive for its waffled foliage. You can get it in plain green, but even better are the dark-leafed types as well as several green-and-white striped versions, such as ‘Watermelon,’ which is a spitting image of that fruit’s skin color. Aluminum plant Yet one more variegated trailer is the aluminum plant, which gets its name from the many silvery streaks in each green leaf. You can combine it with other plants in a pot or basket arrangement, or it’s showy enough to stand alone. It’s even tough enough to serve as a shady groundcover in the ground outside in summer, then dug and potted back up for winter duty next year. Purple velvet plant If you like the soft, fuzzy foliage of lamb’s ears, you’ll love this little trailing houseplant. Besides the velvety texture, the leaves and leaf veins are tinted purple. Rubber plant These grow into trees in their native tropical homes, but they grow as bushy potted plants inside in cold climates. The coolest rubber plants are those with colorful, glossy leaves – especially variegated ones with green, cream and rosy-pink leaves (‘Ruby’ is a good choice) or ones with jet-black leaves. Rubber plants make excellent centerpiece plants in summer pots outside, and they can be snipped each year to keep them compact and bushy. Croton Crotons grow as outdoor shrubs in frost-free climates, but they’re easy to grow as bushes or mini-trees inside in pots. Their main attribute is the variegated foliage that comes in assorted blends of red, gold, orange and green, de-pending on variety. Like rubber plants, they’re perfectly fine as summer-pot centerpieces and don’t mind pruning to en-courage bushiness. Ponytail palm Arguably the “cutest” of palms, the ponytail palm has a bulb-like trunk base and fronds that emerge from the top of the trunk like a spiky hairdo. It’s a slow-grower, too, which means you can keep it for years if you move it in and out each season and increase the pot size every year or two. Many other palms add a tropical feel to any living room, but not all are as happy inside as some. The kentia, parlor and lady palms are three of the best species if you’re in the market for an indoor potted palm. Orchids Orchids have the reputation of being finicky, but many in this world’s biggest genus of flowering plants are no tougher to grow than any old houseplant. Start with a moth orchid, which is the most common type available at retail (and priced far lower than rare collectible versions). You’ll do best knowing a few key orchid-care basics, which are available on the American Orchid Society website. Most orchids bloom a ridiculously long time, and their range of colors and flower forms are impressive. Where to get them? Most local garden centers and home centers have a selection of live, potted houseplants, so start your search there. The year’s best selections are usually in January and February. If stores don’t have what you want, try a mail-order vendor that specializes in indoor plants.
