Gardening with native plants sustains wildlife

By Laura O’NeaL Nash County Extension Master Gardener

One of my greatest joys is sitting on our screened-in back porch watching the birds eat the smorgasbord of food we provide them.

They come regularly to enjoy sunflower seeds, suet, apple cores and grapes and the occasional heel of multigrain bread.

Cardinals, chickadees, woodpeckers, house martins, bluebirds, thrashers all tolerate each other as they eat. When the big blue jay lands on the feeders, the others quickly vanish only to return when the big guy leaves.

Filling bird feeders certainly helps sustain wildlife, but the choices we make in

GARDEN what we plant in our yards are also important.

North Carolina hosts thousands of beautiful native plant species. As more development occurs throughout our communities, natural areas decrease – taking with them the native plants.

Why are native plants so important? Insects.

Ninety-six percent of land birds require insect food for their young. Our native plants support healthy populations of insects that breeding birds feed their little ones. Without insects for food, baby birds would starve.

So while nonnatives are

often pretty and adult birds eventually adapt to them and eat their fruits, insects are not as flexible and won’t feed on nonnative plants because of foreign compounds. With fewer insects to feed baby birds, the bird population diminishes Want to help our fine feathered friends?

Try planting some of the following: Flowering dogwood, beautyberry, viburnums, native blueberries, winterberry holly, purple coneflower, bee balm, cardinal flower, Joe-Pye weed, Black-eyed Susan and Stokes aster. Then sit back and watch the birds show their appreciation for CoNtributEd photo your efforts.

GO UNIVERSAL

If arranging your collection of black and gray remotes in a monotone high-tech bouquet doesn’t appeal, a well-chosen universal remote can narrow it down to one.

Universal remotes are designed to work with all your technological gizmos, and range in price from around $10 to several hundred dollars. “When you have a big pile of remotes, my top advice is to get a universal remote and find a 12-yearold to program it,� said Jenkins.

Small is sometimes better

By LEE REICH Associated Press

Truman Capote famously told friends that the very wealthy eat better vegetables – tiny ones. So there’s another plus for gardening: It’s easier to eat the way the super-rich do.

Not that smaller is always better in the world of vegetables. A cucumber picked undersize does not taste better than one allowed to swell up before harvest – as long as that full-size one is picked before its skin yellows and seeds start to harden.

Similarly, the taste of baby carrots can’t compare with fully grown ones, unless the “baby� size is how big the carrots are supposed to be when fully mature. A certain degree of maturity is needed before a carrot can store energy – which translates to sweetness – in its fleshy roots. Some varieties of carrots, such as Caracas and Atlas, never grow large; when mature and tasty, the roots are still no more than a few inches long. “Baby carrots� that you buy in the supermarket, incidentally, are not actually babies, but are full-size carrots cut into smaller pieces.

MANy WAyS TO BABy VEGETABLES

There’s no arguing that tiny vegetables are more fun and convenient to eat. That must be what accounts for the popularity of supermarket cherry tomatoes.

The bulk of these, unfortunately, are the variety Red Cherry, which doesn’t taste nearly as good as Sungold, which has a delectable sweet-tart flavor.

Miniature cauliflower – “minicauli� – is another

Top ten ideas for all that zucchini

For a backyard gardener, though, frequent picking of tiny zucchinis yields better taste and keeps the kitchen from being overrun with oversize specimens.

BETTER BECAUSE THEy ARE BABIES

Zucchini bread is fine and all, but when you’re staring down a mountain of summer abundance, how much of it can you really eat?

Convinced we could find more – and more creative – ways to use up a bounty of zucchini, we decided to explore out-of-thebox ideas for summer’s most notorious love-hate vegetable. The result? Some delicious ideas that will have you embracing your zucchini.

O Pasta: Grab yourself one of those veggie spiral cutting gizmos, which let you render produce into pasta-like ribbons.

Zucchini does particularly well. Toss the zucchini spirals in a hot skillet with a splash of oil for a minute or two, then dress with sauce and cheese as you would pasta. Or boil up real pasta, then add the zucchini for the last minute. Drain and dress.

O Dip: Slice a zucchini in half and toss it on a medium hot grill. Cook until lightly browned and tender, then pop it into a food processor. Add tahini, garlic, salt, pepper and a splash of lemon juice, then process until very smooth. Use as a vegetable or chip dip, or as a sandwich spread.

O Salsa: Dice and toss together 1 medium zucchini, 1 large tomatillo and 1/2 red or orange bell pepper. Add 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, a pinch of red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapenos and a splash of hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

O Fries: Cut the zucchini into 1/2inch-thick sticks, then toss them first in a beaten egg, then in seasoned breadcrumbs.

Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet, then bake until crisp outside and just tender inside. As soon as they come out of the oven, sprinkle with grated Parmesan.

O Boats: Slice a zucchini in half then use a melon baller to scoop out the insides of each half. Mix together loose sausage meat, grated cheese and chopped sundried tomatoes. Pack the mixture into the hollowed out zucchini halves, then bake or grill (over low heat) until cooked through.

O Frittata: Use a mandoline or food processor to slice the zucchini as thinly

as possible. Whisk 6 or so eggs, then pour them into an oiled pan and cook over medium-high until the bottom is just set.

Scatter the zucchini slices evenly over the top of the egg, then crumble feta over it.

Broil until lightly browned and the center is set.

O Grain salad: Toss finely diced raw zucchini with cooked and cooled farro or barley, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion and crumbled soft goat cheese.

Dress with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.

O Tart: Use a mandoline or food processor to slice the zucchini as thinly as possible. Unfold a sheet of puff pastry (thawed according to package directions).

Run a paring knife along the outside of the pastry about 1 inch from the edge and cutting only halfway down. Arrange the zucchini slices in the center, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Bake at 400 F until puffed and lightly browned.

O Chips: Use a mandoline or food processor to slice the zucchini as thinly as possible. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet, mist with cooking spray, then season with herbs, spices, salt and pepper, whatever you like. Bake at 375 F until the chips are nicely browned.

O Casserole: Cut a whole mess of zucchini into 1/2-inch rounds. Arrange several layers of them in an oiled casserole dish.

Top them with a bit of marinara and some ricotta cheese. Repeat this layering until you fill the casserole dish about three-quarters of the way. Bake at 350 F until tender, lightly browned and bubbling at the edges.

U.S. home sales increase 2.6 percent during June

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Sales of previously owned homes rose for a third straight month in June, pushing activity to the highest level in eight months and providing evidence that housing is regaining lost momentum.

The National Association of Realtors said Tuesday that sales of existing homes increased 2.6 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.04 million homes.

It marked the first time that sales have been above the 5 million-mark since October.

Even with the three months of increases, however, sales were still 2.3 percent below the sales rate in June of last year.

Sales peaked in July last year and then lost momentum as mortgage rates rose from extremely low levels.

Sales were further hurt by an unusually severe winter.

After peaking at 5.38 million units last July, sales had been falling as mortgage rates climbed from historic lows after then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated in June that the central bank could begin trimming its monthly bond purchases later in the year.

The Fed did start reducing the bond purchases in December but mortgage rates have actually retreated as financial markets realized the Fed intended a gradual reduction of the long-interest rate support it has been providing the economy. Rates on 30-year mortgages stood at 4.12 percent last week.

The median price of a home sold in June was $223,300, up 4.3 percent from a year ago.

For June, sales were up in every region of the country, led by a 6.2 percent increase in the Midwest and a 3.2 percent rise in the Northeast. Sales rose

A mailman delivers mail to a house for sale in Quincy, Mass. The National Association of Realtors reports existing-home sales for June rose for the third straight month.

2.7 percent in the West and edged up a slight 0.5 percent in the South.

The percentage of firsttime buyers edged up slightly to 28 percent of sales in June, up from 27 percent in May and above the recent low of 26 percent.

Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the Realtors, predicted that the share of first time buyers would keep rising as the labor market keeps improving.

But he noted that the level is still well below the 40 percent of sales that first time buyers normally represent.

The inventory of unsold homes stood at 2.3 million homes at the end of June, up 6.5 percent from a year ago. That level would represent about 5.5 months of supply at the June sales pace, close to the 6 to 7 months that are considered normal for inventories.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen, delivering the central bank’s twice-a-year economic report to Congress

on a 30-year mortgage is down from 4.53 percent at the start of the year. Rates have fallen even though the Fed has been trimming its monthly bond purchases.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen told Congress last week that the purchases likely will end at the end of October.

To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country each week.

last week, described housing activity this year as disappointing, an indication that the central bank is still concerned about the performance of this key sector of the economy.

Potential buyers have grappled with a limited supply of homes that is driving prices higher. Lending standards have also been tightened in response to the housing boom of the last decade, when financial institutions granted too many mortgages to home buyers who were unable to meet the monthly payments, resulting in millions of foreclosures.

Five years into the recovery from the deep recession that was triggered in part by the collapse in housing, home sales have yet to return to historic averages.

The pace for sales this year is below the 5.1 million homes sold last year and the 5.5 million annual sales that would be consistent with a healthy housing market.
