Master Gardner and Hort Club members we need you!

By Naida

We have our last work session in the Monroe Extension Demo gardens coming up October 9 from 2 to 4pm and I’m hoping something in BOLD AND LARGE can be put on the Blog reminding our Hort Club members to please mark their calendars – that this is the last work session of 2023 and we sure could use some extra help getting the gardens put to bed for the season!

Mums

sent by Naida A

Good morning!  If you are a member of the Milan Area Historical Society (as several of our MGC members are) you would have received this directly from Anne Farmer, but I wanted to make sure ALL our members and friends knew about this wonderful, annual Mum Sale!  
PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS!
Thanks,
from Anne Farmer and Naida

BECAUSE OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION, WE HAVE TO RELOCATE OUR ANNUAL MUMS SALE.  IT WILL BE AT THE OLD FIRE BARN NEXT FRIDAY, SATURDAY, & SUNDAY (see attached flyer for details).  If you wish to purchase, but are not able to go to the OFB, please let me know and we will make arrangements to deliver to you.  We appreciate your support in the past, and hopefully will see you next weekend at the Old Fire Barn.

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug

Funny how things work.  I was reading the article Naida gave a link to….I scroll down and see an article on the brown marmorated stink bug.  I take a quick look at it…see that we don’t have to report it in our area any longer.  Then I look up at the sliding door of my camper. I see 4 bugs.  Yep you guessed it!  They were the culprit I just read about…has the distictive black and white pattern along the abdomin area area and the striped white on antenane.  For more information on these check out the site at : http://msue.anr.msu.edu/news/managing_brown_marmorated_stink_bugs_in_homes
