Winter sowing can help with the winter blues BY Faye Mahaffey Master Gardner Volunteer For most gardeners the winter months offer a time of rest before the spring planting season. But for those of us that winter sow seeds, we’re already getting started! The benefits of this method of seed starting are that it doesn’t require a grow light set-up and doesn’t take up room inside your house. Another important benefit is that it helps you get through that time in the winter between the holidays and spring. We’ve all probably experienced the winter blues at least once in our life. Getting your hands in the dirt is the best way for gardeners to get past the blues and look onward to

the warm days of spring. What type of containers should be used for winter
sowing? Gallon milk jugs or food containers with clear lids can be recycled
for this use. If using jugs, cut open horizontally around jug, but leave hinged just under the handle. Punch several holes in the bottom for drainage and several holes around the neck on in the container lid for air/evaporation. Punch two holes in each side if using a jug. Fill with 3-4 inches of regular potting soil. Water the soil and let it drain. Sow your seeds and pat them down or cover them, whichever is required (read the seed packet). Don’t forget to label each container with some sort of weatherproof label that won’t wash off or fade in the elements. Tape jug around cut and place on patio next to house. If using a container with a clear lid,

secure it with some tape (freezer tape or duct tape). Last winter I had some issues with the wind and critters and lost some of my lids. Here comes the most important part – check occasionally for condensation and water when sunny if needed. Just let Mother Nature do her work. Over the winter, your containers will freeze, and thaw, and then freeze again, etc. This action of freezing and thawing helps loosen the seed coat and breaks seed dormancy. The magic is the seeds know when it’s safe to come up! Seed packets will usually list stratification/scarification requirements. Check your seed catalogs for terms like: Needs pre-
chilling, freeze seeds, refrigerate seeds, needs scarification, etc. Not ready to tackle winter seed sowing? Then chase the winter blues away by attending the February 20th garden seminar, “Using Native Plants in the Landscape”, at the Fincastle campus of Southern State Community College. All seminars are free and open to the public and are held in the library from 6 7:30 p.m. The snowshoes are hung up outside and we hiked in the mud today. Ohio weather is something else! Rain, snow, ice, wind….and the groundhog saw his shadow! Don’t put your winter coats and boots away yet.

Dental Disease – prevention and causes Sales closing date for Spring Crops Pets have become an integral part of our family, and most pet owners are very concerned about the health of their pets. We treat them as our children, taking our pets to the vet for regular checkups just as we take our children to the doctor. We get their shots, keep them on heartworm and flea prevention, and take them to the hospital when they are sick or injured. And as a result, our pets are living longer. Regardless, still one of the most common preventable problems that we see at All Creatures is dental disease. Have you ever looked in your pet’s mouth? Have you ever brushed their teeth? Most people respond to these questions with “say what?” Most owners never consider the health of their pet’s mouth until their pet’s breath gets noticeably stinky. However, periodontal disease is the number one disease affecting pet health. Periodontal disease is the most common infectious disease in the world. Eighty percent of our pets 2-5 years old suffer some level of periodontal disease. It has been called the “silent killer.” Periodontal
disease is a progressive disease that starts out as gingivitis or “red gums.” Pets get a thin film on their teeth just as we do. This thin film is called plaque. Plaque can easily be removed with daily brushing. If left untreated, the plaque mixes with the saliva and hardens to form a dark brown film. This film is called tarter and can become quite thick. I have seen teeth twice their normal size due to the build-up of tarter. Tarter cannot be removed by brushing. It is like cement and provides the perfect matrix for bacteria to form. Tarter alone is harmful to the gums as it pushes the gum line away from the teeth. Tarter is referred to as a bio film because it contains millions of bacteria. The bacteria are anaerobic (do not require or like oxygen) for the most part. The byproducts of these bacteria are toxins. As the tarter gets thicker and pushes the gum line further away from the teeth, an even larger area is provided for bacteria to grow. As the bacteria gets deeper in the gum line, the toxins they release gain entry to blood vessels and bones in the jaw where it can spread to other parts of the body. Bacteria from tarter can affect the heart, liver and kidney function, just
to name a few. This entire process can be prevented. Daily brushing is the gold standard for dental care. As humans, we brush our teeth every day; our pets need their teeth brushed too. The plaque that forms daily is easily removed by this method. Many owners tell me that they simply do not have the time to brush daily. This is especially common in multi-pet households. Owners only brush their pet’s teeth when they get a chance. Unless the plaque is removed before it forms tarter, brushing is a waste of time. Brushing our pet’s teeth once a month or even once a week is not enough. There are other methods to help owners keep their pet’s mouths clean. The most effective is routine dental cleanings performed under general anesthesia. All Creatures has made this even easier with allowing dental cleanings to be put into your pet’s wellness plan, allowing pet owners to pay monthly for their pet’s health needs.
Yearly cleanings provide vets with a chance to examine the mouth close up while the pet is under anesthesia. This is important to allow the detection of any problem areas early on before they get worse. It also allows the plaque
and tarter that form under the gum line to be removed, just as they are removed at your twice-annual dentist appointments. With daily brushing and using food and water additives, your pet’s bi-annual/annual cleaning will be much less expensive and traumatic since the chance of extraction is much less. Some other methods to help prevent tarter build up are using dental treats such as chew-eez and greenies. It is a common misconception that hard food will clean the teeth. The truth is that soft food sticks to teeth, gets under the gum line and provides a much better surface for bacteria to grow than hard food and thus hard food is a much better choice for your dog’s health, but it doesn’t actually “clean the teeth”. There are very few hard foods that have been scientifically proven to actually help clean the teeth. Dental disease is the most common infectious disease in the world. This is mostly due to owners not being aware of it and not being informed on how to prevent it. Daily brushing, bi-annual/ yearly cleanings can help keep your pet healthy for years to come. See your veterinarian if you have any questions on the health of your pet’s mouth.
Producers of springplanted crops in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio that are interested in buying crop insurance, or making a change to an existing policy, can do so until the March 15 sales closing date. Crop insurance can protect producers from natural disasters which affected crop yields and revenues. Producers have a number of coverage choices, including yield coverage, revenue protection and area risk policies. Revenue protection safeguards a producer from yield losses and price movement. Area risk plans replace the group plans of insurance (GRP/GRIP) and offer coverage based on county yield data, where available. Brian Frieden, Director of USDA Risk Management Agency’s Springfield Regional Office, urges producers to contact a crop insurance agent for details. Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. Agents can help producers determine what policy works best for their operation and review current policyholders’ existing coverage to ensure the policy meets their needs. A list
of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers or on the RMA website at: www.rma.usda.gov/tools/a gents/.

would probably be the older cows and the 2 and 3 year olds. With the weather we have experienced over the last month or two the hay pile sure seems to be shrinking quickly. Cows seem to stand and eat all day. As I have said in previous weeks, their energy needs are much greater when temperatures are where they have been recently here in Southern Ohio.

the coming calf. Consider this for the 2 and sometimes 3 year olds in the herd. They are the most difficult group to get re-bred in most cases. You have made a pretty good investment in keeping this animal as a replacement (or bought her to be a replacement) only to have her be open after the first calf. Her ability to stay in the herd and eventually do what you planned for her to do might depend on how she is managed. Even though it might take more effort and more time to do the daily feeding, giving this group a little extra care might be your best bet. Making sure these young cows get some extra feed will give them a better chance to perform. Just think, they are still growing, they may have had a calf nursing on them longer than you would have liked,
and they are carrying another calf (we hope). The hope is that those young cows will calve again about 365 days after the one they have most recently had. For this to happen, she will need to cycle and rebreed about 80 to 90 days after calving, which is also about the same time that she will reach her peak for milk production. That is quite a bit to put on a young cow that is getting rooted away from any extra feed or maybe even the hay ring until the some of the others have eaten. If space is limited, putting the older cows and young cows in a group together, away from the rest of the herd, would be better than leaving them all in one big group. The drawback to this is the cost of feed. If they are all left in one big group, chances are you are wasting
feed dollars. You are probably over feeding some cows and under feeding others. Those healthy, middle aged cows probably need less attention and feed when comparing them to the young and old. Of course this does depend somewhat on the quality of your hay. Testing your forages is still a good investment.

hair provides less protection from the cold. THEY NEED CALORIES!!! This is a true statement for the entire herd and just a little supplemented, high energy feed will help. Last week in the first session of the Beef School we were told by OSU Extension Animal Nutrition Specialist, Francis Fluharty about some of the other advantages to supplementing energy. Francis discussed the gain in the animal’s ability to digest hay better with the addition or supplementation of feeds like Soybean Hull Pellets and/or Corn Gluten Pellets. While this is true for the entire herd, this is even more important for the old cows and the 2 and 3 year olds. A loss in body condition will not only add to the stress, but it could reduce the ability to breed back, not to mention

Management of Young Cows The average cow herd in Ohio is just under 20 cows. With small herds, the management of different aged cows is possibly more of a challenge than for larger herds. This in part is because it may be hard to justify having multiple groups to feed each day when the numbers are small. Older cows that are not as aggressive as they may have been a few years ago can be rooted out at feeding time. Even the old boss cow will eventually become one that is rooted out by middle age cows. The old cows are not the only ones, the younger cows are also likely to be less likely to get in there and fight for that last bite of feed. With that said which groups need the most nutrients in your herd? In most cases it
