GARDENING REPORT: Flower Show - webcenter11

FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Now that we are into the growing season, it is time to showcase your flowers to the public. In tonight's installment of the garden report, Julie Riley tells us about the upcoming flower show.? Hi I just returned from national flower judging school, and i wanted to tell you about a great opportunity that the Fairbanks garden club is going to provide. You always think about entering flowers in the Alaska state fair, but a few weeks earlier there is a special flower show hosted by the Fairbanks garden club, and the theme of this year's show is "gardening through the galaxy", in honor of the Apollo space program. The reason i am talking about it now is because you have got a little bit of time to spruce up your flowers. In addition to design positions, they have a horticulture division where you can enter flowers just fr...

It's November, and Southcentral Alaska's unusually warm fall has some plants putting out spring buds - Anchorage Daily News

U.S. The weather pattern has meant balmy fall temperatures across all of Alaska, including the Interior, where Fairbanks averaged 7.5 degrees above normal in October and on Wednesday recorded a low of 22 degrees — which may seem chilly, but is actually well above normal at a time when low temperatures normally dip below zero. In the Anchorage area, lakes remain ice-free and green grass grows alongside city streets. On the mud-covered slopes of Mount Baldy near Eagle River, the alders have fresh buds and pussy willows are fuzzing out as high as 2,500 feet above sea level — elevations normally covered in snow by this time of year — and on Wednesday hikers climbed the popular trail in T-shirts. A willow catkin (or ’pussy willow ’) buds on the slopes of Mount Baldy in Eagle River on Wednesday. (Matt Tunseth / Chugiak-Eagle River Star) Fulkerson said the early budding likely won’t harm the willows too much, though it could mean they produce fewer flowers when the actual spring arrives. And that, in turn, could have consequences for other species. He said fewer willows could be bad news for a specific type of bee — the Clark’s andrena (Andrena clarkella) — which has evolved to feed specifically on willows. "They wake up out of dormancy at about the same time as the willows do,” he said. “Their timing is pretty in sync.” There’s scant research on Alaska’s springtime bees and even less on the impact of willows that bud out too early. However, Fulkerson said there’s little doubt that the early pussy willows are a sure sign plants are noticing the unseasonably high temperatures. “It’s not too surprising these warm temperatures are confusing these plants,” he said. “Plants are a really good indicator of what’s happening in these environments." And there’s no sign the warm weather will go away. According to Ludwig, higher than normal temperatures are likely to remain in place across Southcentral Alaska for at least the next seven to 10 days. “It’s going to stay warm.” ...

GARDENING REPORT: Clearing the Garden - webcenter11

FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Now that we are into the growing season, it is time to clear out the dead items to make room for new growth. On our Garden Report tonight, Julie Riley will tell you the correct way to clear your garden. Julie Riley, UAF Cooperative Extension Services: "Well look at this mess in this bed. Well I'm going to have to do some pruning and I'm going to tell you how exactly to get rid of flowers and rhubarb and lilacs, the spent flowers and then we'll talk about raspberries a little bit too. So we've got some rhubarb flowers so what you do is eat the stalks not the flowers. So we have to get rid of these, just like you do with harvesting rhubarb. You have to grab hold of it and twist it, the stalks and see if we can pull them up. So these are so fabulous, I don't know if I'm strong enough, but I'm going to give it a whirl.
