MR. ED’S TIPS:
Tetanus boosters
Ed’s tip this week comes from the May 2009 Berkeley Wellness Letter. "If you’re a gardener, make sure you’ve had a tetanus booster. More than one-third of tetanus cases in the US occur in people who got it while gardening or doing yard work. The disease is caused by bacteria commonly found in dirt and on tools, and even a small cut or splinter can transmit the bacteria. Everyone should have the shot every 10 years (it also includes a vaccine against diphtheria and sometimes whooping cough). People over 50 are least likely to be adequately immunized. Though tetanus is rare in the US, it can be fatal."

Come check out our selection of Japanese maples, which includes unique varieties in small sizes as well as specimen sizes. We carry 'Bonfire',''Burgundy Lace', F'ireglow', 'Emperor I', 'Oshio Beni', 'Red Dragon', 'Shaina', 'Seiryu', 'Shishigashira', 'Sango Kaku', 'Crimson Queen', 'Garnet', Inable Shidare', T'amukeyama', 'Viridis', and 'Waterfall'.
The term 'Japanese maple' mainly refers to cultivated varieties of Acer palmatum and its close relatives. The parent of all these varieties is a species Acer palmatum. There are over 1000 cultivated varieties (cultivars) displaying a great variety in size, habit, leaf shape and color, texture, and fall coloration. There are cultivars suitable for most cultural situations, including sun, shade, container growing, and bonsai. Japanese maples are small enough to fit into most gardens, and although they cannot be grown as houseplants, they will thrive in a pot on a patio. In some cases, you don't even need more than one cultivar to have variety. A number of them have one color in spring, another in summer, and another in fall and some even have winter interest.
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering then can be reduced after establishment. Feed Memorial Day and Labor Day with Master Nursery Fruit Tree and Vine Fertilizer. |

The RESCUE!® Reusable Yellow Jacket Trap can be used outdoors wherever there is a yellowjacket problem. The RESCUE!® Reusable Yellow Jacket Trap catches all major species of yellow jackets common to North America. We recommend the trap be placed at least 20 feet away from an outdoor activity area, such as a patio or deck. The trap should be hung, if possible, in a natural setting of bushes and trees. It’s also effective to place the trap on the perimeter of a yard or area where yellow jackets are entering. The trap should also be placed at least 20 feet away from a known yellow jacket nest. The RESCUE!® Yellow Jacket Trap can be used in spring when the queen yellow jackets emerge from overwintering to look for nest sites. It can also be used in the summer and fall when the worker yellow jackets forage for food.
