THE

Hiking in the Pajaro Valley is a beneficial summer activity

S

ummer is in full swing along the Central Coast, and with it comes a surge in outdoor activity and recreation. From mountain biking to horseback riding, fishing to swimming, the Pajaro Valley in particular has plenty to offer.

Hiking is perhaps the most popular and accessible of these activities. One only needs a good pair of walking shoes, sun protection and a map in their back pocket.

Taylor Honrath, Director of

Development & Communications for the Elkhorn Slough Foundation, said he is an avid hiker and an advocate for it as a way to exercise and reconnect with nature.

“What a lot of us have noticed, particularly in the last year with Covid, is how important it is to get outside,” Honrath said. “It’s one of the few things we’ve been allowed to do, really. And we think that when people get out on the land, if they get out there consistently, they’ll notice things. They begin to see the

cycles of the land that really impact our lives in ways that most people have sort of lost touch with. Hiking reconnects us to things that matter.”

The Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve is one of the region’s most impressive hiking spots. The 1,700-acre reserve located at the east end of Elkhorn Slough, inland from Moss Landing, offers guests access to five miles of hiking trails meandering through wetlands, oak woodlands and meadows.

BY JOHANNA MILLER Wildlife sightings are common in the reserve, especially migratory birds that pass through the Pacific Flyway, a major north-south route for migratory species in America.

The area has been recognized by the National Audubon Society, and was designated as a Wetland of International Importance by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 2018.

Honrath said that compared to other areas of Monterey County, the Pajaro Valley area is quite underserved when it comes to

hiking opportunities. This makes Elkhorn Slough unique, and important to the community. Just last week, the reserve reopened its popular Kirby Park Trail, one of the only ADA-accessible trails in the area, after closing it temporarily for safety repairs.

“We are proud of that trail—and eager to welcome people back,” Honrath said.

When heading out to Elkhorn Slough or any other park or trail system, there is plenty to take into account, Honrath said.

Keeping the place you are visiting cleaner than you found it is one of the most important. The seven Leave No Trace principles are as follows: • Plan Ahead and Prepare • Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces • Dispose of Waste Properly • Leave What You Find • Minimize Campfire Impacts • Respect Wildlife • Be Considerate of Other Visitors You can learn more about each of these principles at lnt.org.

Honrath recommends that hikers familiarize themselves with Leave No Trace before going out to a wild setting.

“Learn how you can respect the land, and make sure that your impact is as minimal as possible,” he said.

In addition to caring for the environment, hikers should also take care of themselves, their friends and family by bringing plenty of water, applying sunscreen and wearing hats. Be sure to wear durable shoes, and have a comfortable pack that includes some basic first aid supplies.

Paper maps, Honrath said, are also critically important.

“A lot of us live on our phone now, but you can go to areas where cell phone reception is no longer available,” he said.

“Being familiar with the area, having a paper map as a backup as opposed to digital is always recommended.”

Planning ahead—the first of Leave No Trace’s principles—can also be helpful, especially for novice hikers. Honrath noted a number of websites and apps, including alltrails.com that are packed full of important information.

“An eight-mile hike might not sound like a lot to somebody, but if there’s a lot of elevation change… it could be a tough hike,” he said. “Familiarize yourself with where you’re going. Mentally be prepared, find something at your skill level.”

The Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve is located at 1700 Elkhorn Slough Road, Watsonville. For information, visit elkhornslough.org.

GARDENING

BE ON THE LOOKOUT Tarnished plant bugs break down plant tissues with saliva.

Tarnished plant bugs Garden pests are a blight to plants

By KATE RUSSELL

T

arnished plant bugs feed on more than half of our garden crops, using their piercing mouthparts to suck the life from beans, stone fruits, strawberries and other edibles. While these pests were once only found east of the Rocky Mountains, they now occur throughout North America.

Tarnished plant bugs (Lygus lineolaris) eat all aboveground parts of a plant. They feed by injecting saliva into host plants. This saliva breaks down the pectin and plant

tissues, making it possible to suck up their meal. As they feed, they cause distorted and discolored fruit and pod lesions. You may also see growing tips that are distorted, have lesions, or are dying. Affected flowers tend to be distorted, discolored, or have signs of blight. Seeds may be distorted or shriveled. And the entire plant may show signs of dwarfing or rosetting due to tarnished plant bugs. These pests are also responsible for blossom drop of tomatoes and peppers.

Tarnished plant bugs are nearly

identical to their western siblings, the Lygus bugs. Like their other relations, the capsid bugs and fourlined plant bugs, this group of garden pests all have a distinctive triangular or V-shape just behind the head and pronotum. This triangular area is called the scutellum.

Their wing tips often form a diamond-shaped area at the rear end.

Tarnished plant bugs are small, usually 1/4-inch long. They are brown with yellow, orange, or red markings.

Tarnished plant bugs overwinter as adults in weeds and fruit trees. As temperatures begin to rise, females find mates. They prefer laying their eggs in cotton plants, but they will make do with what’s available. These eggs are laid in mid-spring and hatch by early summer. Populations tend to peak when eggs hatch and again in mid-autumn, so be on the lookout.

These pests like to hide in nearby weeds, so keep weeds away from susceptible plants. Mulching those areas with free wood chips from your local arborist will reduce hiding places for pests as well as protect your soil and reduce your water bill.

Tarnished plant bugs have several natural enemies. One nursery web spider, Pisaurina mira, loves to feed on tarnished plant bugs. Some parasitic wasps also play a role in controlling tarnished plant bug populations, so you’ll want to avoid using broad-spectrum pesticides.

While pesticides are commonly used against juvenile tarnished plant bugs in commercially grown crops, the effectiveness of those chemicals is decreasing. And pesticides generally don’t work well on adult tarnished plant bugs.

Research has shown that these pests are attracted to pink sticky paper, so that’s an easy organic control method. A strong spray from the hose can dislodge juveniles, who are often unable to find their way back to a host plant.

Be on the lookout for these pests the next time you’re weeding around your fruit trees or garden plants.

Veggie Cookies?

Sweet snack features Romanesco

By SARAH RINGLER

T

his recipe was categorized online under “veggie desserts.” It is from Kate Hackworthy at yummly.com, who has several other similar recipes. I’m featuring it only in the interest of keeping the Pajaronian audience up to date on new trends of which they may not be familiar.

With that introduction, I have to admit these cookies are a

little strange. They are sweet like a cookie should be, since they’re made with white flour and white sugar. The oatmeal gives them heft and texture. I liked them although they’re not the kind of cookie I would binge on. They were a very good late afternoon snack.

The “veggie” in the cookie is Romanesco, from the same family, Brassica oleracea, as broccoli, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Like others in the family, it has a distinctive smell and taste. The cardamom, lemon juice and rind do a good job of suppressing the flavor although I don’t think you’ll fool kids.

Romanesco is an unusual cauliflower-like vegetable except that it’s chartreuse green and has little spiral

knobs that are naturally occurring fractals. Fractals, as defined by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot in 1975 in one of his simpler definitions, have “a shape made of parts similar to the whole in a way.” The number of spirals is a Fibonacci sequence where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones starting with one and zero. Ask the math student in your home if you have one, for more clarification.

This is not a newly developed vegetable as it was first documented in 16th century Italy. Its name references the city of Rome.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly butter a cookie pan or cover it with parchment.

Wash and dry the Romanesco then finely grate, or whiz it in a

Romanesco, Lemon and Cardamom Cookies • 3/4 cup raw Romanesco, or cauliflower • 1/2 cup butter softened • 1/2 cup sugar • 1 lemon zest and juice • 1 1/2 cups oats • 1 1/8 cup all-purpose flour • 2 tsp baking powder • 1 teaspoon cardamom seeds ground in a pestle and mortar

food processor until it resembles fine crumbs. Heat it in the microwave, or in a dry pan on the stove, for 2 minutes to dry it out slightly. Allow to cool.

Cream the butter and sugar with an electric beater until light and fluffy. Add the lemon zest and juice and mix well.

Whisk or sift flour and baking powder.

Stir in the romanesco, oats, flour with baking powder, and ground cardamom. Mix until completely combined.

It appears dry but when pressed into balls, it will hold its shape.

Place on the prepared baking tray.

Press down with a fork in two directions to press them down.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden. Cool slightly on the tray and then cool completely on a wire rack. Makes about 12-15 cookies.
