March 26 Volume 35 Issue 13 Credit Unions Offer Free Tax Prep Two Pennsylvania credit unions are actively participating in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, operated by the Internal Revenue Service. Choice One FCU in Wilkes-Barre and Greater Harrisburg Community Credit Union are offering free tax-preparation assistance to low-income people in their communities. John Kebles, CEO of Choice One FCU, applied for and received a grant from NCUA to fund the VITA operations this filing season. Six credit union employees attended training in January at Wilkes University and became certified by the C-Vita curriculum. Dave Waters, COO of Greater Harrisburg Community Credit Union, participates as a coalition member in the Harrisburg-based Money In Your Pocket campaign. These credit unions are offering financial literacy programs that specifically target the un-banked, elderly, and those who have limited English-speaking skills. Retirement planning is a big issue for Baby Boomers. This program provides an opportunity for credit unions to reach out to their communities. Are you signed up for the all-important April 1 Conference Call? This call will help "connect the dots" by providing an update on the banker attack situation in Pennsylvania and across the country, and the importance for all credit unions to unite to protect our future.

HOMEPAGE (MY TOOLSHED) MY GARDEN THE OLD GARDENER Updated February 12, 2004 You are visitor A separate and distinct area of gardening is that of the Master Gardener - the voluntary arm of the Agricultural Extension Services. As a Past President and member of the Harris County Master Gardener Association (Houston, Texas), I am more familiar with the Texas Master Gardener program but Master Gardening is nationwide in scope and on this page I will be attempting to put it all together. I am often asked the question, "Who and what are 'Master Gardeners'"? The following comments, questions and answers are geared primarily to the Texas Master Gardener Program. However, with slight differences, they also apply to all 50 states since all now have "Master Gardener Programs". They also generally apply in the four Canadian provinces with the program except for the sponsorship of Cooperative Extension agencies. Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and to help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people. What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, persons who become Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through their cooperative Extension office to provide horticulture-related information to their communities.

Because of its wide distribution over the world, its ability to tolerate colder climates better than most other species of fruit flies, and its wide range of hosts, it is ranked first among economically important fruit fly species. Its larvae develop and feed on most deciduous, subtropical, and tropical fruits and some vegetables. Although it may be a major pest of citrus, often it is a more serious pest of some deciduous fruits, such as peach, pear, and apple. The larvae feed upon the pulp of host fruits, sometimes tunneling through it and eventually reducing the whole to a juicy inedible mass. In some of the Mediterranean countries, only the earlier varieties of citrus are grown, because the flies develop so rapidly that late season fruits are too heavily infested to be marketable. Some areas have had almost 100% infestation in stone fruits. Harvesting before complete maturity also is practiced in Mediterranean areas generally infested with this fruit fly.

PDF file Contents Chinese Cabbage Bok Choy Chinese Mustard Flowering Cabbage ... Chinese Broccoli SPECIALTY CROPS: Chinese Cabbage and Related Oriental Crops COMMERCIAL VEGETABLE PRODUCTION Prepared by William Terry Kelley, Extension Horticulturist - Vegetable Crops Chinese Cabbage Chinese cabbage is a member of the Cruciferae family, which also includes cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and mustard. In fact, Chinese cabbage is more closely related to mustard than to cabbage. Though seemingly new to Southern diets, Chinese cabbage has been cultivated in North America for more than a century, and in China for almost 1,500 years. Today, it is grown for sale primarily in California, New Jersey, Hawaii and Florida. The flavor of Chinese cabbage is somewhat milder than cabbage when cooked or eaten raw and has been traditionally used in soups, egg rolls, stir-fry and for pickling. It can adequately substitute for cabbage in many Western dishes. Chinese cabbage is an annual that grows 10 to 20 inches tall. Two types are available: a leafy type (

Crop Production Guidelines Lettuce Production Guidelines for Hawaii By: Hector Valenzuela, Bernard Kratky and John Cho Associate Extension Vegetable Specialist, Horticulturalist, and Plant Pathologist, CTAHR, University of Hawaii. INTRODUCTION Plant Growth Climatic Requirements Both leafy and head types are adapted to growth at high elevations in Hawaii due to the cooler temperatures. Head types do well at low elevations only during the cooler parts of the year. Heading types require rather exacting temperatures between 50-70F (10-20C). Optimum growth occurs between 60-70F (15-20C). Heading is prevented and sled stalks form between 70-80F (20-27C). Cool nights are necessary for good quality. With high night temperatures, lettuce becomes bitter. Tip burning also occurs at high temperatures. Lettuce cultivars can be selected for their tolerance to the different environmental conditions found throughout the year in Hawaii. Leafy and semi-head lettuces may be grown year-round at many lower elevation sites. Cultivars Table 1. Head Lettuce Cultivars Recommended for Hawaii1.
